Study On The Meaning Of Black And White Elements In Painting

Painting can not be separated from the expression of color.Color has its important manifestation in the language of painting.It is the symbol of the painter's emotional characteristics and the carrier of the painter's external expression of his spiritual world.That is to say,we can feel the emotional world and spiritual connotation that the painter wants to express through the expression of color in painting.Therefore,as one of the many elements of painting,the color factor has its unique research significance.We know that in the development of painting art,the birth of Impressionism in the 19 th century greatly enhanced the expressive power of color,enabling color to become the theme of picture performance,and liberated the way of thinking of color in painting.In modern times,there have been many schools of brutalism,expressionism and so on.The manifestations of painting art show a diversified trend,and the manifestations of color also become more diversified.In the color study of painting art,one of the externalization characteristics of painting is the expression of color on two-dimensional canvas.Through the color form of the picture,the viewer can feel the thought and spiritual connotation that the painter wants to convey.The artistic experience and spiritual perception of the painter can also be presented from the externalization of the color form in painting.There are many colors in painting,but black and white are often regarded as "plain" by us.Therefore,in our inertial thinking,we may distinguish "plain" of black and white from "colors" of many other colors.Therefore,we often call black and white paintings as sketches,while colorful paintings with many colors.However,from the true definition of color,black and white should still belong to the color element.As two special color elements,the application of black and white in painting shows a unique significance,which is multifaceted.It is related to artists and culture.In the process of painting creation,personal experience,cultural background,characteristics of the times play an important role.In the development of modern painting art,the exchanges and collisions between eastern and Western ideas are increasingly frequent.The artists of eastern and Western countries are no longer independent in a specific background,but interact with each other.We know that Picasso draws nutrients from African sculptures,while Van Gogh looks at Japanese Ukiyo paintings.In addition,many artists look to the East with ancient civilization.In the era of globalization,the development and rise of China has brought new context to the development of art and new enlightenment to artists' artistic creation.In such a globalized context,the study of the use of black and white in modern painting can not only reveal one of the two aspects of the communication between East and West,but also enlighten the painting creation in the new era.This paper first analyzes the differences between eastern and western aesthetic concepts from the perspective of culture,so as to find out the inherent differences between eastern and western artists in the process of mutual learning and communication in the use of black and white colors,and at the same time,find out some common points Then,taking the artists and works that have achieved remarkable results in the exploration of black and white as an example,this paper makes a detailed analysis of the exploration of black and white elements in modern painting in East and West from various perspectives.Finally,from the technical and ideological connotations to explore the black and white elements in today's painting can seek a new direction,in order to seek the possible new significance of black and white elements.
