Abstract

The significance of photography to human beings is not only in science and technology, but also in its influence on human vision and watching mode, thus forms the present image era. In such a era, image takes the place of reality and seems more real than reality, because the description of reality has been defined by image. The target of people's viewing is the image, and the image does not need to correspond to reality. Painting has been forced to change its development track because of the appearance of photography. On one hand, it avoided the visual control and documental of photography, explored the language of painting itself inward, emphasized the possibility and purity of art, moved toward self-completion and self-definition, and returned to painting itself. On the other hand, it explored outward, combined with photography. Under the thinking image watching, there are roughly four strategies for the combination of modern and contemporary painting and photography: 1, using photographic language, 2, using photography directly, 3, beyond photography, 4, painting is photography.
