Features: This book adopts a question-and-answer format, where the answers to certain questions may include necessary reviews and analyses, resulting in a somewhat (jumbled) order. However, the overarching theme of this section and the book remains unchanged: how classical realistic painting evolved into contemporary "neo-figurative" painting. Through the selection and analysis of important painters who represent figurative art in parallel with "modern art" in the 20th century, the book aims to explain the value and reasons for its existence and development. The book's overall requirements are listed in the form of questions as the outline for the "Chain of Figuration" section. To answer these questions clearly, it is necessary to briefly review and summarize the background and history of the development of oil painting language. Since the inheritance and continuation of painting are interconnected, this text is titled "Chain of Figuration." With this intention, while presenting this artistic chain, the article also attempts to explain the influence of its important links on contemporary painting.
