| Under the vision of keeping the traditional culture upright and innovative,this paper makes a comparative analysis of the typical bird images in the meticulous flower-and-bird paintings of the Song Dynasty by using some research methods of contemporary imagology and modern photographic pictures.The detailed discussion is carried out in three stages: pre-graphic study,graphic study and graphic study.In the first stage,the author studies the essential role of the images of birds in nature in creation,that is,the transformation process from natural images to artistic images.The second stage studies the subjective role of the creative subject in the process of creation,that is,the painter’s decisive role in the artistic image created.The third stage studies the profound influence of social background and the spirit of The Times on the creative process.A work of art is a product of its time.Through the above analysis,it is concluded that we should not only learn the specific painting and techniques of song people,but also learn the way of observing life of Song people,and put the vision of creation into real life.Artists should strengthen their self-cultivation,creative transformation and innovative development of traditional painting,firmly grasp the pulse of The Times,and create works with the spirit of the new era. |
