With the recognition to the concept of the Chinese contemporary youth subculture, the author argues that it is correlated with"The 1970's Paintings"because of their common background. Furthermore, the author analyzes all kinds of the expressions of"The 1970's Paintings"which reveal the representative features of the Chinese contemporary youth subculture, i.e. self-consciousness reinforce, deviation from the dominant culture, escape from responsibility, and spirit wanderings.The author discusses that the themes of"The 1970's Paintings"are mainly inclined to describe the life patterns of the ordinary pepole and their mental experiences with the micro-narritive model. As far as the visual styles, the formal language and the internal spirits of"The 1970's Paintings"are concerned, these oil paintings are showing a creative tendency which is called a cartoonlization and"come-to-the-surface". As a point of these views, the 1970's Painters not only distinguish themselvies from their formers with the Age features and their internal spirits, but also their works reflect the existential experiences of the Chinese contemporary youth in modern cities.On the whole, the author points out that"The 1970's Paintings"is an inevitable result of many factors in the changing society of modern China. And yet, as a developing branch,"The 1970's Paintings"should have to enlarge its eyesights so as to inspect the depth of the human's existence and to reflect the turely life in China.
