Chinese photography art is an integral part of Chinese art.The construction of Chinese photography art theory is the necessary content of Chinese art theory construction.The history of “ body ” image presentation in Chinese portrait photography art can be said to be an important content of Chinese art history construction.This paper takes the photographic images closely related to the body from1979 to 2019 Popular Photography as the research object.With the method of case study and literature analysis,combined with the ontological study and context study of photographic images,this paper summarizes the body in the art of photography Social motivation,artistic concept and technical elements in Chinese photography art,and how the body exists in the development of Chinese photography art since the reform and opening up,how to present it in the way of photography art,and what artistic characteristics it shows in the development of Chinese photography art.Since the reform and opening up,in the development of Chinese photography,what is the visual significance and value of the body as the object and medium of expression? Under the promotion of social development and transformation,how can the body,as the construction object of image ontology,be directly guided by its social,historical and cultural context,aesthetic ideology and technological development? This is the question that this paper tries to answer.The so-called “body” in this paper is not only different from the physical “body” of human physiology in real life,but also not completely equivalent to the “body” in the perspective of social ideology.It is also different from the “body” in the metaphysical concept of philosophical speculation.In most cases,it basically refers to the “body” in the art of photography,In other words,it mainly refers to the body image in the art of photography.The resumption of popular photography is based on the premise of China's social reform and opening up,and its concept and practice of photography art are basically synchronized with the development of China's social trend of thought.Therefore,the presentation of “body”in Chinese photography art can be roughly divided into five types and stages: body in realistic photography,body in experimental photography,the body in glamour photography,the body in conceptual photography and the body in digital photography.These five forms show obvious stage characteristics in the development of history: the body presentation in realistic photography,taking realistic creation principles as the standard,combining the artistic concept of “oth form and spirit”,depicting “socialist new people”,presenting the spirit and characteristics of the times of the body;Under the influence of the modernist literary trend,the body presentation in experimental photography begun a new attempt and exploration in the form of works,darkroom techniques,artistic concepts and other aspects;With the development of market economy,the development of studios and photo studios stimulates the public's desire to show and express their bodies,and promotes the development of “Glamour photography”;The body presentation in concept photography benefits from the development of conceptual photography,which separates the creative methods and media of photography from traditional images,and the body can be expressed as the media of photography;With the rise of digital photography technology,ushered in the era of national photography,photography art has evolved from “take photo” to“make photo”.The development of digital technology has promoted the diversified expression of body in photography art.In the era of digital photography,with the development of the concept of aesthetic life and aesthetic life,the body in digital photography appears.Based on the analysis of the specific artistic phenomena and photographic images of “body” vision in the past 40 years since the publication of popular photography,this paper attempts to summarize the concept,form and results of body presentation in Chinese photographic art,so as to provide a summary of the development and evolution of Chinese art theory since the reform and opening up,Provide specific cases and reference.
