The Expression Of Western Oil Painting Visual Language

The eyes are artists to watch the world the important tool of feeling the world. TheoristsHerbert·Reid said:"the whole art history is a story about the history of the visual way, abouthuman watching world the various methods of history."[1]Visual language as the importantoil painting the ways of expression, pass the change of visual thinking style, the performanceof the schools, make our mind some confusion. This paper attempts to western modern art ofvisual language before an analysis to study the characteristics of the development of eachperiod, and explores the visual language development context of oil painting. Oil painting inthe whole history of visual language context throughout, in different period has its differentperformance. From classic oil painting to impressionism impressionism to again after, the oilpainting of visual language experienced the test of time and efforts, in gradually expanded.This paper mainly has three parts, the first part of this is the classical period rationalvisual language performance. From the ancient Greek art begins, the rational concept inpainting will have highlights, imitation nature, rational first the concept of associated andreproduce, forming a search for rational beautiful language system. In the classical period ofthe concept of the rational under cover, oil painting each elements of visual language inservice for rationalism, comprehensive representation of the ideal artistic image. The sketch,line and volume become an important means of representation, including sketch and the colorof the dispute is the period remarkable performance. Of course in the rational visual languagesystem in the classical period attaching more importance to the modelling, pay great attentionto the accurate sketch. At the same time with the development of scientific technology, artistsalso use perspective, anatomy, lighting, and techniques of the rule of representation of therational image. So on the whole, this period of visual language is painting each languagefactors for the reappearance of the rational visual language integrated. The independence andliberation of the colour language that the visual language other language factorscorresponding abate, but that did not affect visual result of expression, it is beyond therealistic objective, the visual language performance of real push to acme.The second part is discussed and the new impressionism impressionism, colour languageto the classical period visual language form of breakthrough. In this times colour languagebegan pursing real light color independent recreat the art road, visual language from comprehensive representation of the conversion of the colour language to independentreappear. Impressionism and new impressionism based on the sciences of optical principle toguidance of color, and the light of the relationship of careful observation and analysis, rationalexpress the nature. In the visual thinking from the rational real change in the nature of lightcolor; In the visual representation of the original color from colour to change conditions onthe color; In visual form from the image of the static turn to dynamic impression capture; Thedifference between pure colour of impressionism to pursue, new impressionism addedscientific guidance. Artists pursue the impression of moment, should not only follow thescientific light color, but also profound experience their own inner sense impression, this kindof feeling with colour language independent show in the picture. Impressionismimpressionism and new visual language in change of visual truth is a breakthrough, is theobjective world color the reality and the touch of the subjective color combination unity.Therefore we can say this period, the oil painting of visual language is main performance ofthe colour language independent reappear.In the third part of this paper discusses mainly the impression in the visual perception ofafter the performance of the language. In the rational science true painting to reach the top, theartists have already no longer satisfied with the performance objective real visual reality, butstarted to look for inner vision feeling performance.Visual language from the color alone toreappear its authenticity to emphasize self feelings of performance. Impressionism after artistsaccording to the needs of their own works of color, strokes, line, composition of languageforms of objective truth, to create, their feelings and subjective emotional thinkingconsciousness as the main performance spirit, pay attention to the expression of personalitytheme, the western oil painting visual language performance space expanded, the western oilpainting the existence of visual language way to get rich, the western oil painting of visuallanguage performance function improved. So in this period, oil painting is the artist’s visuallanguage using the language form subjective self expression perceptual visual language.Through to the classical period, impressionism, new impressionism and impression afterthe analysis of the visual language, can see oil paintings of vision language development,from the rational reproduce natural to imitate the colour language breakthrough, and then togradually away from the objective real perceptual spirit of the performance. In such adevelopment in the performance we can also clear that, oil painting of visual language each language form is gradually from the whole language system in the independent, want to in thewhole charm of each of the highlights from various language form comprehensiverepresentation of the reason to the colour of independent represent, and then to each languageform the performance of the subjective feelings, such as colour, line, strokes, composition, theform and so on language form are in their special visual display manner subjective emotion..Oil painting the trend of the development of visual language towards more expressive,symbolic, spiritual, at the same time, each language form was also given unique emotion andlife. For the later western modernist art lays a foundation.
