绘画中的现实主义是一种艺术创作形式。“现实主义”解释为“生活的再现”,是画家通过对现实世界审美认识,真实的表现现实生活及主观世界的情感,其手法主要采用写实和具象的表现方法。“写实”一词我们较早就熟悉了,而“具象”则是在20世纪六七十年代才出现的名词。但有时我们往往把写实与具象混淆,对它们的概念比较模糊。因此对写实与具象的真正含义的理解,有助于我们对当今现实主义绘画重新认识。写实性绘画语言,它以画面物象对于自然物象“肖似”为描写的出发点和品评的起码标准,“真实”曾经是给画家们以鼓舞的力量源泉,曾经是与中世纪“虚假”画风抗争的旗帜进而成为一种普通的信仰和习惯,成为社会公认的作画准则。 Realism in painting is a form of artistic creation. “Realism” is interpreted as “the reproduction of life”. It is the artist’s aesthetic perception through the real world, which realizes the real life and the emotion of the subjective world. The technique is mainly based on realistic and concrete expressions. The term “realism” was familiar to us earlier, whereas “figurative” was a noun that emerged only in the 1960s and 1970s. But sometimes we tend to confuse the realism with the figurative, the concept of which is rather vague. Therefore, the understanding of the real meaning of realism and figurative help us to re-understand the present realist painting. Realistic painting language, which takes the image object as the starting point for the description of “likeness” of natural objects and the minimum standard of the article evaluation, “Truth” used to be the inspiring source of strength for the painters, and once was to contend with the “false” style of the Middle Ages The banner then becomes a common belief and habit and becomes a socially accepted painting guideline.
