The Artistic Value Of Grotesque Images

Through the author’s long-term study and research,I found that most of the grotesque images in painting art are the products of the embodiment of artists’ emotions and thoughts,one is because the objectively existing objects in the real world are not enough to carry and express their inner thoughts and emotions,and the other is that the artists themselves have imagination beyond objective laws,so they twist and mutate the artistic images in their works through bizarre and strange mysterious fantasies,which are also divided into two situations,one is conscious design to achieve the purpose of irony or metaphor.The second is unconscious feeling,which often has unexpected artistic effects.Weird artistic image works can make people feel shocked,disgusting,horror is the most instinctive reflection of people,they are a strong visual art,with impact and appeal,will make the viewer after watching for a long time can not forget,which is also the shock of grotesque.This article is divided into four parts,using a method from shallow to deep step by step analysis and research,The first part explains the formation and development of the word,deeply interprets its inner meaning and characteristics,and reflects its unique artistic expression more intuitively and specifically by analyzing a series of typical grotesque images,the second part selects the artistic works of artists Picasso,Leonora Carrington,Magritte,specifically analyzes their creative style and painting image,the third part from composition,color,artistic conception,The fourth part extracts the influence of their aesthetic value on contemporary painting and the enlightenment of the author’s own creation through the results of the study of the grotesque images in the works of the three artists.And raise questions for the further development of the grotesque image.
