| The painting of historical figures occupies a very important position in the history of Chinese painting.It is not only a form of painting,but also an inheritance of cultural spirit.In the historical figure painting,the expression of the image and the spirit of The Times should be combined.Because historical figures themselves are also public figures,the most dazzling stars in the long history.From another point of view,they are figures who have influenced history or made outstanding contributions in a certain field,so they must have eternal characteristics with typical meanings.Since the 20 th century,the western culture has entered strongly,and the traditional culture has been greatly impacted.As a branch of traditional figure painting,the creation of historical figure painting is also declining.Up to now,the Chinese nation is facing a comprehensive Renaissance,and the society is increasingly calling for the return of traditional culture.The era calls for outstanding works of historical figures,which need figures representing national personality characteristics.Therefore,the creation of historical figures increasingly highlights its uniqueness.Artists need to convey the sound of The Times through their exquisite skills and lead to the inner spiritual world of the characters through the shaping of their personalities.Through literature review and network information,I had a preliminary understanding of Chinese historical figure paintings in the past dynasties,and selected li tang’s "taking wei tu" in the song dynasty as an example to elaborate my understanding of the characterization of the characters in the works.And explain the importance of the combination of image and era in historical figure painting. |
