The Realistic Spirit Of Realism

Realistic art as an exotic art has more than 100-year history in China. It has been introduced into China as an advanced, fashionable art form, a culture and an ideology. With it's development, it has gradually dominated the trend of culture. But several decades after the Reform and Opening up policy came into being, and as the market economy intensifies and none-stop communication between exotic culture and our own occurs, also under the pattern of multiculturalism, the domestic art form has changed a lot. "New" ideas have great impact on the attitudes of many artists toward Realism. Realism has gradually become the label of lag and conservation. However as a reflection which is sincere, objective, practical and realistic, and even a kind of criticism and exposal of the real society, it has being existed from the ancient time and it will continue to survive.The essay points out that now the rules and theories of Realism are going against the originality, which all the rules, imitations and any other Schools is exactly which it went against when the culture movement of "Realism" took place. It is a true objective and fair reflection of real society though rigorous observation on today's life. The essay analyzes the wrong impression on Realism, and advocates we should shoulder the responsibility and show the loving care of the culture. Don't be controlled by the disciplines and art forms, to create the artworks which have real art values and social values and appeals to us that we should re-recognize the "Realism"...
