Interpreting Picture Formal Language Of The Western Modern Painting From The Construction Angle

Western modern painting breaks and goes beyond the traditional painting. It breaks away from the development direction of traditional painting’s visual rules and spatial concept and overthrows the description of specific image. The image of picture becomes unspecific, nonobjective, and its abstraction enhances, while, its content and subject weakens. There are revolutionary changes in the forms of painting performance, and it pursues pure form the picture. Starting from the picture itself, it takes point, line, side, color and other components that form the visual modality itself as independent performance content. It tries to constitute a picture schema that has no specific natural images via the combination of color, line and block in the whole picture. The shape, color and image in works are just a presentation of visual elements and a formation of subjective elements. It shows up the disciplines of the painting itself. It underlines the simplicity and planarization of the picture, and pursues the picture’s decoration function. To modern painting, we can not interpret it in traditional view. It’s a departure from the tradition whether in its art spirit or form.Construction is built on the basis of modeling, visual cognition rules. It is a way to analyze and study the rule of form beauty of visual language and art modeling, and it is an exploration of visual form element itself. Construction is a study that abstracts the modeling elements from those pure form elements, and creates a new art form through the method of deconstruction, recombination, etc. Any kind of art or genres can be interpreted by construction, but there is no one can be so close to construction like modern painting. So, it is more scientific to use construction to interpret western modern painting.The paper combines construction with the relevant principles to interpret the picture formal language of western modern painting, and try to use the principle of point-line-surface form elements in two-dimensional space to specifically analyze and study the structural language of the picture. It can take the study on formal language of picture as a starting point to understand modern painting. The structural language study helps us better understand the charm of masters’art works, and get inspiration from the works. Through a specific analysis of visual modeling elements in the picture of specific works, we can accumulate helpful experience and composition expression techniques, find your own ways of expression in art practice, and explore the mysteries of the art world.
