Lingnan School Of Painting "New Chinese Painting" Research

Founded in the early 20 th century,the Lingnan School of Painting was founded by Gao Jianfen,Gao Qifeng and Chen Shuren.Against the background of national danger,the founder of Lingnan Painting School felt the pressure of the rising and falling times of the country and followed Sun Yat-sen actively into the anti-imperialist patriotic movement to explore the revolution.At the same time,they also called for an "artistic revolution",holding large-scale exhibitions in Guangzhou,Hong Kong and other places to promote the reform of traditional Chinese painting and the "new Chinese painting" movement.New chinese painting aims to save the country through art and establish modern chinese painting.On the one hand,"new chinese painting" combines the traditional chinese painting with the bold innovation of western painting methods,opposes blindly imitating ancient times,breaks the barrier of "literary painting" and pushes chinese painting to a new path.On the other hand,"new chinese painting" advocated the combination of form and god,realism,the use of western painting techniques to enrich chinese painting,promoting the development of chinese painting.In the end,"new chinese painting" is the duty of artists to save the country by reviving chinese art and reforming the historical mission of chinese painting,giving chinese painting an unparalleled humanistic connotation.There are not only profound social reasons for the formation and development of "new chinese painting" in lingnan school.Among them,the artist’s own life experience also plays an important role,and the cultural environment is the source of its birth and development,closely related to the political and cultural aspects of the time.But fundamentally,the connotation of "new chinese painting" always originates from the painter’s national sentiment,patriotism and noble humanity.Therefore,"new chinese painting" is not simply to pursue the novel aesthetic feeling or focus on pen and ink skills,but closely linked with real life,the country and the nation painting.Taking new chinese painting as the research object,this paper expounds the artistic revolution inspired by the political revolution of the founders,analyzes the idea of "integration of china and the west",shows the artistic connotation of different subjects in the revolutionary period,the anti-japanese war period and the early period of the new china,explores the realistic concern and national feeling of new chinese painting,and summarizes the influence of new chinese painting on art education and chinese painting modernization.The "new chinese painting" is constantly developing and innovating and has always been very creative.It not only comes from the thinking and experience of the lingnan painters about the country,the nation,the history and the people.It also originates from their absorbing the advanced painting techniques and expressions of various nationalities in the world on the basis of traditional painting,making "new chinese painting" a unique style of art form of the chinese nation,and constantly improving and developing.This perfect development is reflected in Lingnan painting school’s persistent pursuit of art.With a painter’s sense of responsibility,mission and social responsibility,they inherited and developed Chinese painting,put into practice Lingnan painting school’s idea of "saving the country by art" and created a new style of painting in Guangdong with its unique painting language and aesthetic ideal.
