Study On Form Language Of Meticulous Flowers-and-Birds Painting Between Song Dynasty And Modern Time

In this thesis, I present a study on form language of Meticulous Flowers & Birds Painting between Song Dynasty and modern time.Chinese meticulous flowers-and-birds painting (hereafter, flowers & birds painting) drooped for centuries after reaching its resplendent achievements in the Song dynasty. Owing to the frequent international culture communication the languages and techniques of western and Japanese painting were introduced into China giving rise to multifarious and vivid developments of flowers & birds painting in the past few decades. Two exhibition ''Exhibition of Modern Meticulous Flower-and-Bird, Painting''' and "The Tenth Exhibition of Fine Art-Chinese Painting" held recently illustrated a good example for this development. The audiences, however, felt lack of mood-of-literary-work, which is the key point of Chinese traditional painting, in the modern flowers & birds painting shown in above mentioned two exhibitions. This work compare the forms and languages of the flowers-and-birds painting of modern time with the Song dynasty. The afford made is trying to unveil the reasons why the mood-of-literary-work faded in modern painting.Chapter two summarized the social background for Song dynasty and moderntime, respectively, in view point of politic, economic as well as culture involved.In chapter three, a detailed comparison on composition, sculpt, color and materials used in painting was carried out starting with the subject matters of the two age's. As was seen that the forms and languages of flowers-and-birds painting in the modern time changed a lot compared with that of Song dynasty.Chapter four deciphered the aesthetics meaning implicated in flowers-and-birds painting of the Song dynasty, and pointed out that it was because of ignore of the aesthetics meanings of traditional Chinese painting, throw away it unrea-soningly, fetish of foreign culture and even dangle after the queer effects of alien paintings that led to the vanish of the mood-of-literary-work in modern painting.In chapter five author showed opinions to the prospect of modern flowers-and-birds painting. That is, one should first face the fact that modern flowers-and-birds painting can only be survived by serving itself to modern time. Meanwhile, Chinese artist should assimilate foreign forms and languages of painting actively. The author also pointed out that cultural communication - introducing Chinese flowers-and-birds painting to western world - is also very important for the development of this special art form. Last but not least at all, one should know the origin of the nationality of Chinese traditional painting and make good use of it for the development of modern Chinese flowers-and-birds painting.
