Yitan body art in China has almost disappeared nearly 40 years, until 1985 to break through the human body painting restricted to display. After the sculpture of the human body gradually appear in the streets, squares, the exhibition hall. 1987 hit the bodybuilding competition, the United States is the direct display of the body, the long-standing feudal narrow and rigid vulnerability of the old ideology is a powerful impact. However, in my own body art development of the difficult course, the biggest disruption is the human body photography. Some people in our country have always thought that the human body and is yellow, obscene linked to any art classes here, to "evade the gods", otherwise the dark and will be Wong's attack, fell so despised in humanity Tragic end. In the situation of reform and opening up, the old ideological and steadily retreat, they have to bear the final corner of the natural barrier - an impregnable fortress, one can not break through the line of defense is the human body photography. Their logic is: the human body can be written, paintings, sculpture, performance, and only can not take photographs. This is a performance perspective goes beyond the question of the arts and learning across the nation, school conditions, political science and sociology on the cross-school subjects, one can only talk about is actually not get broad daylight, can not One hit in the face of pseudo-Road and stereotypes.
Now, in the publishing industry have the foresight to support, a selection of photographic works of the human body to be set finally come out of the defiance of world opinion. What is the human body photography is an art » How should we treat the human body photography art » Worldwide, the human experience of how the photographic development and evolution process » China has no human photography, its development Qure how » These are in the beginning of a Bible book to readers Zhu Jun confessed clear.

All the glorious history of past results

The United States to talk about the human body, the body photography, first from the people talk about. Soviet scholars Luomo Fu said: "The people have become subjects, including dozens of huge system of the study." Arts disciplines as one of the art of photography, of course, to the human body as their own research, performance of the centre. , Why are so attached great importance to science and art become the central concern of this »

Think about our ancestors, the original inhabitants were not in Hong Huang opened the era of Rumaoyinxue, Fengcanlusu, to board the moon, Mars Exploration, to create a high degree of material civilization and spiritual civilization from the earliest fighting system is still very close to the rough - Block the original form of Shidao, stone axes, to "like magic with the Side had a Raphael painting, sculpture and the Thorwaldsen Paganini's music" from the simple thinking to Jieshengjishi "Produced a huge - in thinking ability, passion and character, versatile and knowledgeable in the giant of the times." All this fully shows a person is the first precious, people are capitalized, is the master of the world, is the main creative. Concern, as were all the academic and artistic object of study and performance targets, is only right and proper that, that is the proper meaning. What is the reason for the artistic expression of the provisions in the surrounding environment and not focus on themselves and the human body? »

, Were not abstract, not the elusive idol, but a life of personal existence, there is a personality of the individual. There were the dignity and worth of human nature is reflected in his presence as a community of respect, he also reflected in the presence of as a natural area. In the transformation of society, in the form of a natural relationship, as a form of social relations sum of human society. In response, photographic art and other ancient art in the form of a more performance. As a person organisms, a species, as a Ziran Wu, his natural factors or biological factors in his own plays an important role in the development of (the need to emphasize this is the natural or biological factors and social factors are also closely with the Together). This is equally important performance of the photographic art objects.

Engels said: "Only natural talents to bear the imprint of their own, because they not only changed the location of plants and animals, but also changed their places of residence of the face, climate, they even changed the plants and animals themselves." This Kind of change, of course, their own people, including the historic changes.

For people, the bulk of the essential meaning of Marxism in "Economics in 1844 - and Philosophical Manuscripts", Engels, "Dialectics of Nature" in a profoundly expounded. Engels incisively expounded the "Labor in the change from Ape to Man's role in the process", due to labor, because of the manufacture and use of the tools necessary, the more dexterous hands, and because of the ever-changing action suit, caused the Muscles, ligaments and bones of the special development and genetic down. At the same time the legs to walk upright in the development of organs and Naosui pronunciation of the developed so that people "have to carry out more complex activities, enhance and achieve the objective of more and more." Marx incisively expounded the "only animal that according to his own species to produce the standard, and people know how the inherent (internal) standards applied to objects of creation, therefore, also in accordance with the laws of the United States to create."

It is precisely this way, not only human beings created in accordance with the laws of the United States and the entire world, and in accordance with the laws of the United States, and created a human being. Is the most beautiful in the world of all things physical, as Engels said, "from a single egg cell differentiation generated by the nature of the most complex organism." Human body itself is the most beautiful body, the connotation is the most abundant body. If we say that the whole of nature, society is a big universe, the universe, then the body is in itself a small universe, the universe. The universe, the universe is a small universe, the expansion of the universe within the projection; small universe, the universe is within the universe, the universe of refraction, microfilm. The universe, the universe, how rich complex, delicate lively, within the universe, small universe, how rich are complex, delicate vivid. As Wanwuzhiling the people, his facial expression, the limbs, trunk, his every Jin Jian, muscle, every gesture action, all reflect the essence and spirit of inner experience. If the internal psychological to a certain extent is a condensed history of the human and spiritual civilization, then, the external shape of a certain procedure is an embodiment of the human evolutionary history. It is the rich aesthetic content of other topics which could not be replaced.




Following the ancient art of various species after the new art form - photography art photography in the human body, in the creation, to demand a comprehensive, profound sense of play and the main author of the creative spirit, embodied all the historical development of mankind's great achievements. From this we can see the following three aspects: 1, photographer as the main body of creative, he is the evolution of human civilization, the accumulation of historical development the product of the modern aesthetic sense and the concept of his aesthetic is to create the driving force; 2, Photography art modeling tool is the latest achievements of human technology, photography art modeling techniques melting human intellect and science, Jiang Xin and tools, subject and the object in a furnace, directly reflects the contemporary material civilization and spiritual civilization fruits of mankind, 3, the human body photography - photography art In a brand, a theme, its artistic form and aesthetic language - Documentary and creativity, and as abstract, realistic and surrealistic, and other ancient art form compared to more suitable for modern aesthetic psychological needs, more contemporary.

There are good reasons for that: the body of contemporary art photography body art in Tianzhijiaozai




Sublimation of the arts and sublimation of the soul

The art of the human body is an eternal theme. If we say that the primitive art of human performance, from sexual awareness (which both Western Europe 30,000 years ago unearthed in the "Russell of Venus", or China's Xinjiang near the murals found neutral worship, the worship of reproductive Performance is proof). So, modern art in the human body, because of its creators - artists is the result of several thousand years of civilization evolution, psychological accumulation of great achievements in human history. He's thinking, feelings, production, operation, the original is not driven by pure instinct physiology, and deeply hidden in the mysteries of the art, the true meaning of life for the purpose of the search. Even some modern artists in their drive to create the driving force of, and embodied in the works in the Interest of both the composition has a passion, can not affect us in a kind of art subjects, the arts category of a general observation, only Summed up as awareness of the performance.

It is certain that the reason people love body art, because artists use the human body language to worship life, and praise, glorify youth, Ouge love, the pursuit of freedom. This creative approach is a good human photographic works of art because of the inherent dynamic. And the truly outstanding human art photography with the introduction of Xiangrufeifei people, not necessarily full of Xienian contact. Is Michelangelo's "David" is not a male masculine beauty, who moved the intensity of flu? » And Rodin directly to the sexual theme of sculpture, is still far away from Rouyu people, and feel the beauty of youth, vigor and vitality. However, the body art in various countries, various historical periods have been subject to censure, ancient Greece to modern times, modern, from Europe to Asia, reflect two different points of view of the struggle. The Soviet Union against their own well-known sculptor Muxi Na acute situation said: "We now have an unhealthy tendency of the Puritans - fear of nudity. Why do we allow the audience can see the older generation master of nudity, but not allowed to see the naked Soviet artist's impression of it» If this kind of logic to see the problem, we will have to negate all the ancient and Renaissance art, close all museums. "She added:" The human body can be most fully and most sincere, not covertly performance of the emotional and internal appearance (not All these can add Kucha). " It seems that the ancient and modern Puritans, who impugned the same nude art, the logic of its arguments are roughly the same. Now "indecent" and so on the censure, and for literature, painting, sculpture and performance areas have gradually been all breakthroughs, only perhaps is the last stronghold is photography.

Why can the human body painting, writing, sculpture, performance, it is not shoot » Asked the reason, Zeyue, the camera is genuine, realistic photographs taken, so not. This "excuse" is very ridiculous. China's puritanical, pseudo-Dao Xuejia were not justified and must be clearly dialectical.

First, the so-called "truth". Yes, to take photographs is to target the real person. But photography is not only to directly face the real working life? » Is clearly not the case. Whether painting, sculpture have to live for the creation of a modelling agency. Maybe they would like to say that the effect of realistic picture, so can not be allowed. This is strange logic, not to say the human body to the United States for the purpose of the show is live performances, said the photos artistic effect, it is not realistic to create the conditions for maximum aesthetic. Denner said: "Mrs Buddhist Art Museum but is satisfied that there is a painting. Magnifying glass but is satisfied with the work, to painting a portrait of four years he painted the skin profile palygorskite, cheekbone on the minor identified the blood-line, scattered on the nose Peutz, Weiyi twists and turns in the V under the skin of a very small blood vessels of the Danlan; he faces include all the best, even around the eyes bright reflection of things out. You will read it, Leng: like Is a real person's head, much out of the box from Shen Qi. "

Denner is to illustrate T uninhibited by the painting than the smallest more popular. From here we can understand the unique photographic realism is not the art means, in certain procedures, some of the photographic works fine, I am afraid that the effect of realistic but not necessarily reach the level of satisfaction. If linked to some photographic realism of contemporary painting, sculpture, direct to live up system, is confused as real ones life to the extent, I do not know of the attack, how will they explain this.




Furthermore appreciate the problem is certainly not as described in these comrades photographic realism flu therefore easily lead to side effects. If so, then the separation between people can only just. In fact, Rodin's sculptures, people watching, that life without the cold bronze and marble, make people feel the warmth of skin, blood flow, thinking of the fluctuations, have such a strong life authenticity. People appreciate the heart of the Chongyi is the beauty of human nature, the beauty of human relationships, rather than what other. The key is the soul guests, rather than work itself. These comrades in fact confused the arts and in-kind, and the desire to enjoy the relationship. Hegel said that the elderly had clearly warned: "Art interest and desire is different from the practice of interest, it is the object of artistic interest free and independent existence, and the desire is to fit it into their own purposes, even destroy it. "He added:" In art, these sentiments sound and the shape of the reason emerged, not for their own or with their direct sensory appear in the kind of look, shape, but to use a kind of like to meet A higher spiritual purport, since they have the strength from the depths of the soul and arouse reaction response so that the artistic, emotional thing is the result of the soul, but also by things spiritual and emotional show of the. "

Excellent human photographic works should have aroused the soul of this reaction and response forces, with a better appreciation of the soul must also be able to use his good works show the soul of refraction. Or Muxi Na said: "Only one person thinking dirty, the body will be in a better see the dirty things." Human photography is certainly not obscene representation of the Pirates synonymous. Photography is a noble human body, pure, elegant and vulgar until the downstream of the lower points, its appreciation of the aesthetic tastes are high or low, Jingcu, the text field, good or bad points. Despicable soul due to the obscene and vulgar started resonance, in the elegant as before, he would have the idea of evil. For the obscene to be resolutely ban. There were pros and Liang You have to evil purpose in the human body photographer is certainly not unique, however, these problems through improving the legal system and greatly improve people's scientific and cultural level and the level of aesthetic, moral standards to solve. Development of healthy and the noble art of photography with the human body and cracked down on indecent pseudo-yellow for the fundamental nature of the two different things in different conditions. Must strictly distinguish between the nature and limits, we must not Yinyefeisi, together with the dirty water poured Discard some of the children.

Human Evolution of the Western photography

Art history of the world, in Greece and the European Renaissance there were the glorious period of body art, the art of photography was born, has experienced early in a replay of the alarming reality of the art performance, full of spirit of exploration and creativity of photography Jia started to process the human body into the field of photography. 1857 Swedish photographer, and later stay in the United Kingdom Leida Lan, a shooting in the history of photography as a classic for the "life of the two roads," the site rich plots, scenes voluminous screen, use a lot of the human body Works on the theme of good Correctional evil, white Bin Centre for the elderly, two groups of people on both sides of the two different moral values, ideals and life journey of life. The left that diligent, friendly, progressive, said the right side of greed, pleasures, degenerate. Zhang shared more than 30 film clips from collage to enlarge. This was originally a very imaginative and positive significance of art creation, but also by the then Queen Victoria's appreciation. Manchester held in the important works of Visual Arts Exhibition on the emerging art of photography has won high reputation. But it was also a small number of people the attacks, said it spent so much Nude, posture rough Yin Mei, to be obscene and so on. Thus, ancient and modern, body art no matter how positive it is the ideological significance of art or sophisticated processing, will be some people's condemnation and attack, I am afraid that this has become a regular response.

In any case, they can not stop negative photographic art of human development. Following the painting and photography and photographic impression of the sky after the Trail Blazers Cameron his wife, except in portraits of celebrities fruitful, according to Greek mythology, the Bible stories and shooting photos of the theme, many children body photos. Human children are infatuated with a very early photographer of the subject matter. Frank Sa Teke Cliff filming of "water mice" (1886 Photo) is of epoch-making significance, mainly in his first jump out of photography room, jumped out based on myths rehearsal, modelling the rigid creative mode of dress, to the world, to natural . The evening of the small river, sunset afterglow to a group of children playing in the water as a Tongti lucent, water not only Jiao Bozi, or squatting or sitting, or lying or side, some see the distant shore of smoke Teng Teng mining derrick, and some Mutual whisper. In the context of the industrial age, the true nature of the environment in the display of innocent children and their lively fun Jiao Jian, immature attitude of the figure, the customs people and children, the human body and rubbing together, so that works Baoyun the rich connotations.

End of the 19th century, Kang Manrui C Puyou filming of "models", the history of photography is the most stringent standards in terms of the human body photography. The woman standing models, Weice provides some background, the two arms outstretched, one high and one low, Yiqiang standing around the bed oblique clothing, the bottom right corner of the soft shoes, and provides some background on the walls of some frame, the layout And posture, appears to be affected by the painting, while not completely become a real photo of the human body works.

The beginning of this century to the 1930s, photography is the world body to mature, different styles of the genre scene, in various forms, by implication with, Yangyangtaiguan, lush developed an important historical period. During this period a representative of the photographer is:




Weston: in 1924 ~ 1925 to the contribution to the art of photography Buckingham won the prize money, creativity and desire to greatly expand the subject matter, creativity become more active when filming a series of the human body works. He once said: "I do not want to pre-Qupai good gesture" and living in the image, inherent in the human body itself and the United States and some touching gesture touched him in the shooting. Such as the September 1923, in Mexico City's diary he wrote: "There is Shenhundiandao the sun, surface structure, texture interesting Baiqiang, and all sorts of clouds, these alone is enough for me many Months tirelessly shoot film Buwan all the creative themes. "Until July 9, 1924, in his diary, beginning on shouting:" Once again, the temptation clouds…… I have nothing to the formal beauty than the clouds can I avoid the camera to capture!…… Indeed, my eyes and thinking towards the sky, when I glance down to the eye, I saw lying on the Azotea Taina nude sunbathing on, I will be the work of the cloud over . I am the camera to a more realistic themes, and was extremely interesting success of the positives. "Here, Weston said his photography and simple human creative thinking, he also summed up the basic human photographic qualities of art, which is rich Rich flavor of life and beauty in the form of an extremely beautiful.




Man Ray: This is a People's artist and photographer, People and the founder of photography. His fascination with photography in the light effects, using various techniques of shooting a series of the human body works. Gangjin which the young man full of sense of the intensity of the human body, but also poet, painter and bar girls of the human body works, or in the middle of exposure, or at the end is negative as, or increase Netted logo, or use a pen painted added that the cause Rich and diverse, become the wonders of the human body works. Man Ray based on his photographic art for art's view that "Nature does not create works of art, and human intellect is our unique ability to invent on the arts." He added: "works of art depends on the people, of what he used performance Tools. "In full freedom to explore the mentality of creativity and inspiration for photography, Man Ray's works from all the inherent in the form of fetters. "Giggling, ridiculed and feared all into", Shujuan freely, without losing artistic charm.

This is an example: surrealistic writer Francis Albert Jia Biya, the tall, Zhuangshuo immense, it is said that he like a cow. Man Ray's assessment is "beautiful, tall and strong," as a well-to-1 backbone of his half-naked as the aroused great interest, and even change some people's views, Albert Jia Biya also love. Man Ray returned to his beloved girlfriend Zhao Ji-hee had a nude. Kyi Kyi sitting, wearing a scarf way East, provides some background from the point, this attitude is to think of Ingres on the canvas's "robust Bathing Woman." Man Ray inspired by the sudden inspiration, in the photo plus two Yin Kong, it was said to be of that, in fact, the man Ray is to more fully demonstrate their inner feelings and ideas only.

To Man Ray as the hallmark, the human body through the traditional photography, painting and, as well as life stage of development, access to modern performance art of the stage. Photographic industry has no longer satisfied with the existing passenger depict the human body in the United States, and more in pursuit of their own subjective feelings. Through photographic art form, photography technical skills, and have its own unique impression of the twinkling of an eye, their Xin-Tian deep into the aesthetic ideals of the vivid image of the human body.

Early has been taken to the British class working people suffering the life of the photographer said Brent Masters, he remained late unique to the United States and the original wild pristine natural beauty, strong contrast, the coarse particles characteristic style, subject matter content, but instead shooting Female body, sui generis, unique charisma. Brent homes instead of modern high-precision photographic equipment, using old-fashioned of mahogany Mode Zheng Liang made the "Hawkeye" Kodak cameras. Such cameras are indeed "Laodiao Ya" and "old machine", it does not shutter, the focus is fixed, only Zhenyan aperture size, depth of field short, it is easy to deformation. Brent neither of the Youqing Sigu, is not a time Xinxuelaichao, he is easy to use this deformation of the characteristics of the lens, creating super-realism and the beauty of the human body photography. It is not difficult to find, Brent Jiang Xin had indeed received the art of the expected results. He's clever use of the human body because of special techniques, or outstanding arm, leg or outstanding, or highlight the chest, or prominent face, as well as prominent or hands, feet or highlighted, the real multi perturbation to the human body angle, multi-perspective look at the expansion of wealth The beauty of the human body photography. Brent human photography by the arts community, including painting, literature, photography circles certainly, unique in photography in the human body, Yin Yu world.

Western human development trend of photography is very clear. In the development of the traditional body of conventional photography, but also a strong expression of popular perception, modern Photography language, to create a variety of schools and styles of work, as well as a deformity, cutting, restructuring, mysterious, absurd, ugly mood. Rui Yu-such as Mannesmann's symbolic significance of human photography, Luojiemaiding the "arbitrary body," Todd huge Waterloo Berk of the original shape of the human body photography, Luoboteheng, Qin Si and Kai Desu Russia Ke Hama, such as cutting the reorganization of the human body photography, Lee思丽克罗娜斯the absurd that the human body photography and Nimda, Kang Road Nimiqieer click of a sexy, and so that the human body, such as photography.

China Eastern culture and human photography

Human body art and culture as an integral part of human culture, is in its people a certain historical stage of development, especially during the beginning of civilization as the product of self-aesthetics. From the Eastern and Western culture archaeological excavations, human culture and the arts origin, are concerned with the human body. Is the self-awakening of the performance. Since the formation of self-consciousness, to see the status and role only after the worship of, Ouge of the wishes and demands. Although still at the early stage of such an understanding would bring great blindness, which is also at an early age because of the period. Contemporary East and West Comparative Study of the view that the East China re-landscape. Western, Greece body weight. I think this is only seen tributaries, but have not seen the source, only to see the end, not the performance of its roots.

In fact, human culture is the common sense of human performance, human culture, arts birthplace of the total. Later, it was only because of economic development and cultural evolution of the different, only a difference. Even so, "and similar practices of the far", a common development of mankind, the history of the evolution of the East-West cultural differences emerged, each in a different line and into the realm, but it is the matter later. We oriental culture of China as a representative of the long historical period, the feudal tradition of layers of silt, become problems, the extremely harsh bureaucratic politics, feel insecure and therefore easy to talk about Hyun said, sending trace landscape, and a culture of the West - Scientific evidence, rational spirit, self-weight personality, material enjoyment, a sharp contrast. This is not that the Chinese nation, the Oriental culture and body art insulation, exclusive. We do not say that during the Tang Dynasty in the Dunhuang frescoes of flying naked, Buddha, "The Book of Songs", ancient poetry in the description of men and women and so on. May 4 New Culture Movement in China kill human nature, devoid of passion, anti-science, anti-democratic feudal system, a powerful impact of feudal ideas. New culture, new ideas advanced by the intellectuals to accept, after the master, personally, to promote enlightenment. Photography is also gradually germination human breeding, many photographers are involved in this subject area, photographic exhibitions and publications have seen. Which of course is fake and shoddy products, such as obscene erotic off the inevitable, however, the photography pioneer in the field, he carried out by a serious exploration of the arts and cultural enlightenment work. Mr. Zhang Yinquan in "Flying narcotic" photographic magazine article published the "edge." With integrity to the noble ideals of life for the photographer, advocacy photography to the "concise, clear, vivid, powerful," the masculine beauty of the art of the road. His life to shooting the lives of working people, the motherland's mountains and rivers Ouge Fengwu, a dual set foot in the human body, but also to practice his art advocate, and created a masculine beauty of the works. "Force" such as the title indicates, the shooting was a muscle uplift, gluten-strong, physical Jiao Jian of the young men, at the time of the Mi Mi Ruanruan Chongyi, Xiangxiang Yan-yan of the atmosphere of the perturbation altar, no doubt played a spade partial tree wind Role. This phase of the photographic works on the human body is also available in: AO Enhong in "black and white video to be" published "bathing", Wu Yinxian issued a "human", Lang Jingshan in the "culture of photography published in morning breeze," published "Spring and resentment" and the "Collection of photography," issued a "heart that is the Buddha." Body of these different postures elegant, sophisticated light of the description of China's human photography photographers have high artistic attainments, even if the contact is a new subject areas, they can also master the art of creating vivid and moving image. At the same time that "body art is not suitable for development in China, not China's national conditions" and so on, is untenable. Lang Jingshan, the human photography also trying to traditional Chinese philosophy, Zen Buddhism into one, with Mr. Lang life to the Chinese traditional culture and art and photography art, the combination of efforts to create the background of oriental culture, with Chinese national characteristics and style features The photographic art - "Photo Gallery" is the same.




These valuable arts test, unfortunately, was unable to continue. May 4 after a new culture of thinking of deductions under the new situation changes to the new tasks, relative social stability in the short period to an end. A series of harsh national struggle and class struggle, blood and fire of the intertwined so that this new culture of human photographic enlightenment movement, the birth of the art variety, after germination, regained consciousness, and soon disappeared from the scene of the. At the same time, and almost the start of China and China also share the same cultural background of Japan's human photography, accompanied by the Meiji Restoration and its empire from the accumulation of capital to expand to expansion, and human photography has been slow to move forward with. Japanese photographer and sensitive to their unique ability to transplant, and the West surrealistic photography, subjective photography echoes. After the war, particularly the 1950s and 1960s, the Japanese photographic body deformation, discoloration, pitch shifter, deformity and exaggeration, variation, the abstract, without his followers. The Zhuangguang Lang, Shanyan too, Sasayama Jixin, compared with the famous European and American photography, which is better than can be said Qingchuyulan blue.

IMIS, the same as the background to the oriental culture of China, Japan and other countries of human photography, equally there are two distinct artistic tendencies - is a strongly so that it and oriental culture, national culture combine to create a distinctive characteristics of the human body photography One is the unscrupulous and Western culture, Western culture combine to create a strong personality prominent human photography. They have their own writers and readers, viewers can go hand in hand, their respective development.

Closing remarks

Body art photography as an integral part of human culture, is a serious work. In a number of photographic material, it is obviously not the most important. We deeply understand shoulder a national revitalization, and build four modernizations, the great historical task, photographic arts bear the responsibility and obligation, we still have a more pressing mission of the importance of photography. However, no human photographic art can be said to be dispensable, or Danibudao, Pang Men Wai Road East and West. It is the building of socialist culture in the proper meaning of the theme. On the human body to create the art of photography and appreciation, the author relies on its audience and have higher levels of education and the arts and cultural accomplishment. Four construction of the advance and all the people greatly enhance the scientific and cultural level, the entire building of spiritual civilization, culture and photography an integral part of the body of photographic art research and development, there are inherent to the three connected, the inevitable contact and mutual constraints, Reciprocal causation. This three of each other and complement each other-that advantage is the ideal target. Featured contemporary world body the best photography of China's body art, photography of human development, both for photographic creation, photography theory research and other arts categories will have brothers and draw reference value for the order.
