The Transformation of Yellow River Implications in Modern and Contemporary Oil Paintings
In the context of revolution,the"Yellow River"in oil painting art became a revolutionary symbol and was gradually shaped as a symbol of the Chinese nation.Later,in response to the needs of the times,the symbolic meaning of the Yellow River began to change from the revolutionary resistance to the connotation of the socialist revolution with national characteristics.The technique of"two combinations"was often used in the depiction of the Yellow River in oil paintings to intentionally create an"idealized"and"he-roic"image of the Yellow River.Since the new era,with the wave of cultural root searching,the depiction of the Yellow River in oil painting art has also been injected humanistic concern,and at the same time,it carries the heavy sense of history and nation in the way of collective memory.Since the end of the 20th century,the image of the Yellow River has gradually weakened or retreated from the picture,and has been replaced by the recovery of human nature.With the change of visual elements,the symbolic meaning of the Yellow River in oil painting art has been continuously enriched,and finally completed the transformation to the cultural Yellow River.
