Abstract

Imagery painting is an emerging art form that combines western painting materials with Chinese traditional humanistic ideas and philosophy. It is more or less influenced by Western modern art, and combines the concepts of “spirit”, charm” and “feeling for scenery” inherited from traditional Chinese paintings, which truly achieves the localization of paintings in China. Imagery painting and literary freehand painting have their roots in the same strain, adhering to Taoist ideologies of “being back to nature” and “returning to nature” which present unique and extraordinary temperament, that is, the temperament of “transcedent”. This paper briefly discusses the meaning and development background of imagery paintings, the basic meaning of “transcedent” and the traditional philosophical view that they infiltrate, and discusses the imagery paintings from the three perspectives of the image effect, the choice of theme, and the picture quality of imagery. The specific artistic works are taken as examples to discuss the theme. Imagery paintings do not only break the old methods of creation, but also become a bridge to link to the traditional culture. It distinguishes itself from western local paintings in terms of pure painting language and humanistic feelings, and occupies an important position in modern and contemporary Chinese paintings.
