A Comparative Study Of Contemporary Meticulous Heavy-color Painting And Lacquer Painting

As two important forms of expression in Chinese art,meticulous heavy-color painting and lacquer painting originated very early,and even in the primitive period,they had many traces to be found.Early primitive people used mineral pigments and lacquers to decorate utensils.Their use of color was similar to that of line modelling.Both meticulous and heavy-color paintings and lacquer paintings could be said to be derived from utensil decoration into "paintings".Of course,as far as the early form of meticulous heavy-color painting is concerned,silk painting unearthed in the Warring States Period should be developed independently from objects,while lacquer painting in the same period still attached to objects,and independent form is relatively rare.For a long time,lacquer painting and meticulous heavy-color painting are closely related to color,technique and even shape.This phenomenon lasted until modern times,and it did not change until Western art was introduced into China.On the premise of absorbing the tradition,meticulous heavy-color painting actively learns the western formal language and uses it for itself,which makes the modern heavy-color painting flourish.Lacquer painting,because of its late formation,is constantly drawing resources from various sources,but its own construction still needs persistent efforts and improvement.Based on the author’s own study and creation of lacquer painting and heavy-color painting,this paper compares the two artistic forms of meticulous-brush heavy-color painting and lacquer painting,and makes a concrete analysis of their historical origin,aesthetic characteristics and formal language,with a view to providing practical reference for the current practice of meticulous-brush heavy-color painting and lacquer painting.The article is divided into five chapters.In the introduction,it summarizes the reason,content and significance of this topic and the current research situation at home and abroad on this subject.The second chapter mainly introduces the historical background of meticulous heavy-color painting and lacquer painting,and tries to systematically clarify the evolution and development from Neolithic Age,Spring and Autumn and Warring States,Qin and Han Dynasties,Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties,Sui,Tang,Song and Yuan Dynasties to modern times.Process.Combiningwith the background,this paper combs and analyses the two kinds of paintings from the primitive period to screen painting,and then to the works of modern and famous artists for a detailed comparative study;Chapter III analyses the aesthetic and linguistic characteristics of meticulous heavy-color painting and lacquer painting,and analyses their ontological characteristics and aesthetic semantics,and expounds the uniqueness of lacquer painting language;Chapter IV describes meticulous heavy-color painting with meticulous brush.The main elements of painting and lacquer painting materials are compared,and the relationship between "ink" and "lacquer","black" and "white","grinding" and "dyeing" is elaborated respectively,so as to further explore the similarities and differences between the two.Chapter V takes the inspiration and reference significance of meticulous heavy-color painting for lacquer painting creation as the premise,focusing on meticulous heavy-color pairing from the perspective of artistic ontology theory.The influence of lacquer painting is further studied.This paper holds that: as an important heritage of traditional Chinese art,meticulous heavy-color painting has entered the modern and contemporary era,through the study of eastern and Western art,its form and content have changed greatly,including the reference and absorption of modern lacquer painting creation.Because of the particularity of modern lacquer painting’s materials and techniques,modern lacquer painting has broadened its scope of expression on a larger scale,showing the richness and plasticity of blooming flowers.On the one hand,the study of this phenomenon can provide reference value for later generations,and further expand the space of these two art forms in materials,techniques and creation.On the other hand,it is also a stage summary of my undergraduate and postgraduate studies.I hope that my future creation can carry out semantic transformation without losing the ontological language of Meticulous Brushwork and lacquer painting,so as to obtain a broader and freer artistic space.
