In the public’s view,the narrative subject matter of the painting must have the presence of characters,as if the narrative content of the picture can only be read through the distinctive character image.The understanding of still life painting is only the subject matter of beginner practice in painting,or the painting of interior decoration art effect,often can not bear the significant ideological connotation.However,things in people’s hearts or around people have always had a "simple and primitive attraction" to human beings.When painters paint them in watercolor form,such still life becomes the carrier to display the painter’s inner world.Still,life painting seems to be no longer silent,uniquely and implicitly,it will hide various relationships behind,such as human memory,emotion,emotion,complex,consciousness,and identifying the cultural attributes of the class are described,but the research on watercolor still lifes and even the field of still lifes has little metaphorical narrative discussion.Even if it is mentioned,it is only a single narrative theme.At the same time,the formal language has an important role in the metaphorical narrative of still lifes,and the starting point of its research is only to serve the aesthetic feeling presented by the picture,Of course,watercolor still life painting is not enough to present metaphorical narrativity just by depicting symbolic things,because many things that do not have symbolic characteristics can also reflect narrativity in the hands of the painter,which requires the combination of the use of formal language,such as light and shadow,color,composition,texture,etc.,as well as the painter’s emotion and understanding,and the euphemism that can be formed under the interaction of people,things,and formal language Implicit self-expression.This paper deals with the study of iconography,formal language,and literature,and explores the metaphorical narrative of watercolor still life.First of all,the first part of the paper briefly explains the concepts of "still life" and "still life painting","narrative" and "metaphorical narrative","image narrative" and "metaphorical narrative of still life painting" in combination with relevant documents,which not only clarifies the track of the development for the metaphorical narrative of still life painting but also demonstrates the rationality of the existence of metaphorical narrative of watercolor still life painting,It also explains the important role of metaphorical narration in contemporary watercolor still life paintings.Secondly,the second part of the paper classifies and discusses the narrative types embodied in the paintings by focusing on the "objects" in contemporary watercolor still life paintings.It can be divided into "presence" and "absence" in watercolor still life painting,"image" and "meaning","object-oriented" and "narrative theme".The last part of the paper analyzes the way of the formal language in watercolor still life painting participates in the metaphorical narration in order to achieve a high degree of unity of content and form,focusing on "water" and "color","light" and "shadow","texture" and "composition".Interpretation of the formal language in some representative watercolor still lifes,combined with the creative insights of the painters in their respective papers and works,the theoretical analysis and artistic interpretation of art critics,and analysis of how many watercolor painters use these formal languages to endow watercolor still lifes with metaphorical narrative-life,character,quality,identity It further extends to the themes of memory,nostalgia,desire,identity,reflection and ideology that the painter wants to narrate.
