The Value Of Unfinished In Paintings

We can find “unfinished” painting works or drafts as we appreciate the great artistic works in an art gallery.Such works might not be the artists' best achievements,nor judged with the highest artistic level,but in terms of visual effect and aesthetic value they are distinctive in that they well display themselves from one aspect so that they don't distract the audience's attention.Meanwhile,the unfinished nature in paintings demonstrated the process of the artists' impromptu creation in a more straightforward way,and that enables us to see the creation characteristics,creation ideas and expression techniques,etc.It motivates creation subjects to produce personal perception towards images,and is seen as a bridge between artistic works and audience who will be offered with expectations for the future works by artists.By means of comprehensive analysis,consultation and comparison,and practical research,this article carries out a discussion towards “unfinished”,and in comparison of “finished” paintings,the following has been talked over: whether it has a certain standard,the reasons why such accidental expression appears better than the expected image in its complete and finalized version,and the relevance between “finished” and“unfinished”.With consideration to the understanding as well as similarities and differences from China and western countries upon the argument,this image effect is further illustrated by artists' works,and through artists' understandings towards their works,it aims at profoundly understanding the personal feelings and paintbrush track of creation reserved in “unfinished” paintings,and the artistic significance that goes beyond time and space.Priority is given to the discussion of value of “unfinished”paintings and paintings that are different from traditional ones by specific artists,along with its characteristics and ways of expression.In conjunction with the study of works in multiple aspects,the exploration to the value of “unfinished” is eventually achieved with taking personal creation practice as the basis.The “unfinished” breaks away the restrictions of rules and space-time in conventional arts,and gives full play to the infinite artistic conception with limited words.It's regarded as a progressive artistic attempt and pursue that liberates human nature,subject restrictions and painting size requirements.It provides artists with continuous opportunities in the study of personal ways of expression,and adds strong artistic appeal and infinite imagination to the works.However,my cognition towards the value of “unfinished” awaits improvement,and it calls for further perfection with regard to the open-up and diversified understanding on it,and unveiling my feel on“unfinished” in works via personal practice and attempts.
