Национальный характер и художественные особенности живописи Гун Лилуна

Since the first years of the 20th century, when oil painters of the Western European tradition appeared in China, Chinese realistic art has been continuously updated and has attracted attention in its own country and abroad. There is no doubt that the success achieved by Chinese painters was largely the result of the introduction of modern Western art to the Chinese national culture. Today, the best artists in China harmoniously combine the form and content of Western art with domestic artistic traditions, forming a unique style. These include the Chinese painter Gong Lilong, whose work has been repeatedly exhibited in museums in China and abroad, but is familiar only to a narrow circle of connoisseurs in Russia. He went from realism to neo-primitivism, avoiding stylization and imitation of folk masters, and striving to express the essential aspects of folk aesthetics. This study considers Gong Lilong’s canvases from the point of view of national culture, historical context, and his biography. It also shows the change in his style and the themes of his works throughout his career and traces the formation of his unique symbolic language. Special attention is paid to the realistic period of the artist’s work and his contribution to the development of easel painting in Northeast China and the country as a whole.

The Visual Psychological Space of Chinese Traditional Landscape Painting Creators in the New Media Background

Abstract Based on the connection between visual psychology and landscape painting, the article investigates the spatiality characteristics of images and the visual balance factors affecting the creation of landscape paintings. By applying a vector median filter, this study successfully removes noise from color landscape painting images and uses vectors to represent these noise-reduced images. Lab color model was constructed and combined with cluster analysis technique to calculate the color difference between image pixel points. Binarization of the image is achieved by preprocessing the segmented image. The study estimated and analyzed landscape paintings’ aesthetic characteristics and quantitative values. The results show that among the 30 selected landscape paintings, the percentage of white space area is more than 0.4 is 36.67%, while the rate of less than 0.4 is 63.33%. Among the landscape painting creators who participated in the study, the mean of the total scores of the experienced ones on the four visual psycho-spatial abilities was 83.39, which was 14.217 points higher than that of the inexperienced group. This indicates that the method proposed in this paper is very effective in assessing the visual psychospatial abilities of landscape painting creators, and that the creators can improve their creative skills after long-term training.

Evaluating the Effects of Integrating Music and Painting Aesthetics in Children’s Education: A Quantitative Study

The scope of aesthetics is often bound by the limits of sensory perception. In appreciating music and painting, information is typically processed through distinct perceptual channels. However, at the cerebral cortex and nervous system level, these modes of perception can interact and integrate, influenced by collected audiovisual information, thereby enriching the aesthetic experience and improving aesthetic efficiency. The domain of audio-visual interactive aesthetics holds significant potential in aesthetic education, yet current research in this area has made limited substantial advancements. This paper explores the functionality and impact of an audio-visual interactive aesthetic model, combining music and painting, within practical aesthetic education through a series of applied experiments. By incorporating Chinese traditional music and painting into children’s regular curriculum, we conduct a quantitative evaluating and analysis of the benefits of audio-visual multi-sensory aesthetics over single-channel perception in enhancing children’s emotional, aesthetic experiences, and cognitive abilities.

Effectiveness of Early Multimodal Non-pharmacological Interventions in Cognitive Preservation in the Elderly.

Multimodal non-pharmacological interventions (MNPI) have been determined as effective in delaying cognitive deterioration. The effectiveness of timing of such interventions in elderly is less discussed. We compared the different effectiveness of MNPI in cognitive preservation in elderly subjects with and without dementia. We enrolled volunteer the elderly subjects. Subjects were classified as dementia group and non-dementia group by instrument of ascertainment of dementia 8. All were assigned to attend 3 hours of MNPI (physical fitness training, Chinese capillary, and Chinese drawings and paintings) twice a week over a 16-week period. Neuropsychiatric tests, including Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Cognitive Assessment Screening Instrument (CASI), clinical dementia rating (CDR), and neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI), were administered before and 1 year after MNPI. We demonstrated the changes of cognition and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) before and after MNPI. We compared the different effectiveness of cognition preservation between two groups. In total, there were 43 participants in our study, including 18 with non-dementia and 25 with dementia. The non-dementia group had a significantly higher proportion of cognitive preservation in remote memory (100.0% vs 68.0%, P = .007), orientation (94.4% vs 48.0%, P = .001), drawing (94.4% vs 64.0%, P = .021) and language (77.8% vs 48.0%, P = .049) than the dementia group. The highest proportion of preserved cognition after MNPI was remote memory (100%), followed by orientation (94.4%) and drawing (94.4%) in the non-dementia group. The highest proportion of preserved cognition after MNPI was attention (72%) followed by remote memory (68%), recent memory (64%) and drawing (64%) in the dementia group. Overall, their improved rate in behavioral and psychological symptoms was 55.6%. Our study concluded the benefits of early MNPI in cognition preservation in the elderly, especially in the field of remote memory, orientation, drawing and language.

Innovative Application of Chinese Landscape Culture Painting Elements in AI Art Generation

Abstract In recent years, the swift advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly propelled the capabilities of data generation, a pivotal technology underpinning AI development. This has led to remarkable innovations across various domains, including images, text, and speech. In this study, we introduce a sophisticated image translation network tailored for AI-driven art generation of landscape painting elements. This network is enhanced by integrating a self-attention mechanism with orthogonal Jacobi regularization, aiming to elevate the quality of the generated artwork. Furthermore, we developed a landscape style transfer model using the image above translation network to encapsulate elements of Chinese landscape cultural paintings. This model emulates the artistic process employed by human artists, effectively capturing the essence of the content and infusing the intended style. The efficacy of the generated images is quantitatively assessed through Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) values. Comparative analysis of the style transfer outcomes across three models reveals that the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) model exhibits the lowest PSNR and SSIM values. Although the CycleGAN model achieves commendable style transfer, its visual impact remains less pronounced in comparison to the Wasserstein GAN (WGAN). Subjective evaluations of image quality and style fidelity between the generated images and the input stylized images indicate that the WGAN outperforms other models. It achieves an average content evaluation score of 4.11 and a style score of 4.2 across nine style transformations, surpassing the average scores obtained by competing models.

Optimization of Color Matching and Conveyance of Picture Information in Chinese Oil Painting under the Background of Big Data

Abstract Color, as the first element affecting human vision, is particularly important in the process of oil painting art creation. This paper constructs a color-matching optimization algorithm using convolutional neural network and generative adversarial network algorithms to optimize the four optimization factors of Chinese oil painting: color brightness, hue, contrast and orderliness. Color beauty is used to measure the color matching and design effect of Chinese oil paintings, and the order factor and complexity factor between each color of the color matching scheme are calculated. Finally, the effectiveness of the color matching optimization scheme is verified by taking the Chinese oil painting ‘Eight Nine Geese Coming’ as the research object. The results show that the harmonies of the four color-matching optimization schemes are 3.53, 2.86, 3.43 and 2.34, respectively, with an overall average improvement of 5.1175 percentage points compared with that before optimization. The color matching of Chinese oil paintings is based on a theoretical basis provided by this study, and it also introduces a new line of thought.

The Transformation of Traditional Chinese Painting Elements in Modern Design Contexts

Abstract To ensure the effective preservation and evolution of traditional painting art, it is imperative to integrate contemporary art design concepts and methodologies. This paper focuses on the reconstruction of traditional Chinese painting elements, distilling and adapting its pattern, ink, and calligraphy components into a modern design framework. Specifically, the features of the pattern elements are identified and transformed using a feature point extraction algorithm combined with K-Means clustering. For ink and calligraphy elements, a fusion of self-attention mechanisms and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) facilitates the stylistic migration and conversion of these elements through the construction of distinct discriminators. Subsequent evaluation of the transformed painting elements utilized Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) within a contemporary design context, aiming to assess the practical value of traditional painting elements in modern design. The findings indicate that the clarity of information (C1) and its accuracy and efficacy (C3) in the context of contemporary design achieved importance scores exceeding 3.6. Furthermore, the satisfaction scores for modeling (C10), color (C11), and imagery (C12) each surpassed 3.5, denoting a high level of satisfaction in the IPA of their conversion. The study enriches traditional artistic methods and conceptualizations, thereby enhancing their cultural depth and significance.
