中国写意人物画有着悠久的历史,在五代时期就已有初步发展,至明清两代趋于成熟,到清末衰落,走过了一个完整的发展过程,并成为自成体系的艺术门类。在造型上建立起一套比较完整的理论体系,采用以大观小、小中见大的方法,并在运动中去观察和理解客观对象,体现了我们中华民族传统的哲学思想和审美特点。然而这种“重质不重表、重意(主观)不重形(客观)、重情不重理”的造型理念,只遵循“畅游”、“适意”的从艺状态,弱化了造型艺术对人物形态传神写照的塑造功能,使得写意人物画的发展空间受到阻碍。 Chinese portrait painting has a long history. During the Five Dynasties period, it has been initially developed. By the end of the Qing dynasty, the Ming and Qing Dynasties tended to decline.
