representation of the artist’s ideas or thought processes.These new artistic schools bring ideas that transcend the boundaries of life and art,the core of his thought is to understand painting as“The return of painting”,which is not a simple return or representation,but to open up a new way of creation.From the point of view of modern Chinese painters,neo-expressionism is a successful example of modern painting.The combination of neo-expressionism and emerging media art forms,such as photography,film,newsmagazine,installations,behavior,and video,has caught the attention of modern painters.In
