The Emotional Expression Of Religious Themes In Modern Art

Giotto has broken through the stylization of religious theme painting and innovatively infused character's real emotion into painting.Therefore,functions of religious theme works are gradually changed from a relatively single memory explanation and other religious functions into aesthetic function,reality reflection function,emotion expression function,etc.Especially,emotion expression function became the highly praised art appeal in religious modeling art after renaissance.According to Max Scheler's emotion classification and Schleiermacher's thoughts&theories upon religious emotion,the thesis aims at analyzing the emotion expression types in religious theme works.Meanwhile,the thesis also aims at researching the modern artists with religious emotion----Rouault having hopes in despaired situation and Chagall immersed in love under the background of encouraging non-rational and innovative modern art.People have religious instincts,so every artist has a certain "belief".The devotional emotion upon both "belief" and religious faith takes the core position in artists' works.Modern art school and sacred art for Rouault's and Chagall's attitudes,as well as the starting point and content of individual religious theme works,can well explain the rich and sincere emotion expressed in the art works.The life emotion&mental emotion concealed in humanity are integrated with the religious faith emotion to motivate the heart-stirring strength.
