On the changes of flower and bird painting in the 20th century and contemporary thinking

Abstract

Flower and bird painting in the 20th century has undergone a magnificent mod-ernization transformation. From the innovation of pioneers such as WuChang-shuo and Qi Baishi, to the pursuit of "Chinese painting under socialism" after the founding of new China, and to the in-depth exchange of Chinese and Western culture after the reform and opening up, flower and bird painting has adhered to the tradition and constantly integrated new elements to form a unique artistic style. This change is not only reflected in the innovation of painting techniques and themes, but also reflects the transformation of cultural concepts and aes-thetic values. Looking forward to the future, the creation of flower and bird painting should continue to draw inspiration from nature, inherit the tradition and be brave in innovation, pay attention to the development of the times and the evolution of modern aesthetics, and constantly expand the artistic form and connotation. Through continuous exploration and practice, flower and bird painting will glow with more brilliant glory in the new era and become an im-portant part of Chinese excellent traditional culture.
