ABSTRACT

This paper aims to explore the aesthetic development of Chinese traditional landscape painting in contemporary art. Through an in-depth analysis of 20 selected artworks from the 13th National Art Exhibition, this study reveals the key characteristics of aesthetic changes in contemporary landscape painting, focusing on the content update and theme change, the innovation of techniques and expression forms, and the evolution of style and aesthetic features. The findings indicate that contemporary landscape painters actively seek an organic integration of traditional and modern elements, striving for a harmonious fusion of traditional aesthetics and contemporary sensibilities. They embrace innovative subject matter and modes of expression, showcasing the integration and collision of diverse cultures, as well as personalized artistic expressions and emotional communication. Moreover, artists emphasize the preservation and development of tradition, combining innovation with heritage to infuse new vitality into Chinese landscape painting. This research holds significant theoretical implications for the development of Chinese landscape painting. It highlights the importance of striking a balance between innovation and tradition in contemporary art, as well as the significance of individualized expression and emotional communication. Additionally, this study provides new insights and impetus for the global promotion of Chinese landscape painting on the international stage. Through an in-depth investigation of these key characteristics, this research provides concrete theoretical support and empirical analysis for the aesthetic development of contemporary Chinese landscape painting. It not only contributes to the innovation and preservation of Chinese landscape painting but also enhances the global recognition and understanding of Chinese art within the field of art appreciation.
