On Image-based Painting Creation

Abstract

"Image" has a relatively broad definition. In this paper image refers to the image media vision, picture vision, etc., emerged with the development of imaging technology, that is, "photographic image" and "ready-made image", such as photos, image materials, advertising magazines, facsimile printed copies, etc.. The emergence of images seems to erase the meaning of traditional representation painting creation, and bring many challenges to the current art creation. Some people even call for the "death" of painting creation. Indeed, images are convenient, fast and even incomparable to reproduce the details of reality, compared to other artistic means. Image can also quickly capture the objective moment that our naked eye cannot detect efficiently and accurately. However, does this mean that contemporary painting creation will face the crisis of "aphasia"? According to this point of view, this paper discusses the different authenticity of images and paintings, the "translation" of images and the artistic creation of "micro images", hoping to provide reference for the current art creation colleagues when they rely on the image as the "intermediary" to build the relationship between social life and painting creation.
