Research On Liang Baibo's Comic Themes And Idea

Liang Baibo is a famous female comic artist in the 20th century,known as the "first talented woman" in China’s comic industry at that time.In Shanghai at the beginning of the 20th century,the old and new ideas met.The new ideology and culture made many intellectuals,including Liang Baibo,break through the shackles of traditional ideas and pursue individuality.At that time,Liang Baibo successively studied in Xinhua Art College and other schools,mastered solid painting skills,successively joined Temeng Painting Association,Juelan society and other associations with advanced painting ideas,learned Western painting ideas and techniques,and gradually formed a more conscious revolutionary consciousness,which was reflected in his creation.During this period,Liang Baibo actively absorbed new culture and combined with social reality to create comic works with characteristics of the times.Liang Baibo’s artistic creation in his life can be roughly divided into two stages: first,from 1935 to1937(i.e.Shanghai period),he began to create comics and illustrations;The second is to participate in the Anti Japanese War cartoon propaganda team and take the Anti Japanese War theme as the creative subject.The Shanghai period was the peak of Liang Baibo’s artistic creation.During this period,Liang Baibo was deeply influenced by biazlai and other Western literary trends and drew illustrations for many Shanghai style novels.In view of the current situation that the female images in comics were often commercialized and erotic at that time,Liang Baibo combined with the characteristics of the times to create a female image "Miss bee" in a new era with intertwined love and hate,dare to think and do and pursue independence.Liang Baibo stood out from many cartoonists at that time because of his keen social perception and unique artistic forms of expression.After the full outbreak of the war of resistance against Japan,the themes of literary and artistic creation focused on the war of resistance against Japan.Cartoon has become the most powerful weapon in the propaganda of the war of resistance against Japan because of its easy to understand artistic expression.During this period,Liang Baibo quickly completed the role transformation from a modern girl to a national salvation in the war of resistance against Japan.From a female perspective,she appealed and encouraged women to participate in the national salvation movement with exquisite artistic expression.The female images in Liang Baibo’s works become more gentle and strong,showing the unique strength of women,not just the victims and victims of the war.Through the transformation from "Liang Bo’s" artistic theme "to" popular art ",we can see the transformation from" Liang Bo’s "artistic theme" to "popular art".After leaving the Anti Japanese War cartoon propaganda team in 1938,Liang Baibo mainly used watercolor and other forms to express regional and ethnic customs,and created some excellent works.In his later years,Liang Baibo’s artistic creation was small in quantity and mediocre in quality.He died in self denial and all kinds of remorse.Under different time and space conditions,with the help of the female images created by comic art,Liang Baibo shows a variety of female self-consciousness,and makes a unique contribution to the transformation and development of modern Chinese art.Through Liang Baibo’s art works,we can understand the female image and its ideological and cultural value under the specific social background.As a valuable artistic and cultural resource,Liang Baibo’s creation gives contemporary art a more profound and rich aesthetic enlightenment.
