| In an entire work of art, as the expression of the art, only when the symbol is interpreted from a panorama perspective, can its expression be in conformity with the overall meaning. In other words, as the components of the entire work, the symbol must minimize the meaning of its signifier and signified so that the synthetics of the signifier and signified will create the new function and serve the new signified.From the perspective of the story-telling, it seems that only the story drawing and serial picture have the narrative functions. However, the meaningful painting does not aim to relate the chronological plot, but shift the focus from the narration of pictures to the spatial imagery of pictures. It is the space-conscious mode of thinking that accommodates the maximum of the meaning and value of the picture narration.With the intensification of urbanization, though nostalgic for the lost pastoral lifestyle, the artists have to explore the new urban genre by themselves. Compared to the traditional elaborate-style painting, the urban elaborate-style painting is different from genre painting for the difference between them lies not in the introduction of the urban genre, but in the application of the traditional way of thinking to the contemporary era, creating the new visual styles which is more close to the ergonomic vision. |
