tylorswaft: Chinese Congenital Deficiency Of Color

By: Bright Anderson

Western criticism of the fine arts of Chinese oil paintings tends to focus on two aspects: indifference in shape and color. The argument goes straight to the heart of the matter, because it is indeed a common problem for most Chinese painters.
In contemporary China, there are few painters that could skillfully take charge of color, which may be caused by three aspects. First, as a separate discipline, color art came into being in the 80s of the last century with a weak foundation. Second, affected by the combination of Chinese and western thinking, a lot of Chinese painters cannot help trying to make oil painting by using Chinese techniques. Chinese painting emphasized exquisite description, which was clearly not the same thing with oil painting. Third, influenced by Russian painting style, Russia's geography and climate affected the perception and understanding of the Russian painter for color. On the other hand, the melancholy tone in the Russian culture of 19th century also had a significant impact on Russian painting: in literature, such as Tolstoy, Turgenev; in music, such as Tchaikovsky; in painting, such as Surikov, Repin. If corresponded in color, that was grey and brown.
As is known to all, the painting education in New China was introduced from the former Soviet Union, which has influenced generations of Chinese painters. In addition, the majority of Chinese painters focused more on techniques and less on feeling, and was diligent in writing and lazy in sketch. Such a bad painting habit was also the main reason leading to Chinese painters difficulty in the comprehension of color art. I have seen a lot of paintings made by some well known painters, but I still do not understand why they treat their figures even young girls in a funeral-like gray color scene. In Paintings of Venice by a famous painter, the whole sky and waters are processed into cloudy dark gray. I have been to Venice in four seasons, and I really do not know where he felt this color.
Painting consumption in China has gradually entered the homes of the middle class, but most people do not know how to appreciate the painting. It is necessary to know some knowledge of color art. If you cannot understand the significance of color art for oil painting, you cannot have a real understanding of it.
