Dostoyevsky's manner of viewing paintings is mainly reflected in the two articles"Exhibition at the Academy of the Arts:1860-1861"and"From the Exposition".A review of these two essays reveals that he favored paintings that showed"grace and dignity"but hated those that showed negative emotions and extreme scenes.Dostoyevsky emphasizes the artistic reality of the painting,which requires the artist to observe the world with the subjective perception and"the eyes of the soul".The artist can obtain artistic reality only by rejecting the pattern and tendency of artistic creation.Artistic creation needs creative freedom,which is the first essence of artistic creation.Dostoyevsky considers that figure painting should be able to"see a person in any man",which is impacted by his creativity theory of exploring the secret of human nature and the ideological concept of"affinity to the people"in Pochvennichestvo.In addition,Dostoyevsky believes that the Europeans cannot understand those outstanding paintings that indicate national characteristics,which reflects his nationalism.
