Features: The concepts elaborated by the author in this book bear a certain reflection in meaning to the formalist art history views since Wolfflin, focusing on the evolution of painting language and the exploration of different forms and styles. Unlike Wolfflin's style studies, the author places greater emphasis on the pure form of painting language and classifies different systems of Western painting language from the perspective of language expression. The author also examines the correlation and interaction between artistic language and social trends, using this as a key point to provide unique descriptions and interpretations of art phenomena after Impressionism. The summary of painting language is the core part of this book. The author divides painting language dialectically into "external form" and "internal form" in a uniquely aesthetic manner and systematically discusses the relationship between the two. This series of books not only narrates the different types and developmental history of Western painting language but also provides an in-depth exploration and interpretation of its causes and origins from a theoretical perspective. It is believed that readers who read this book will be able to experience the unique perspective established by the author and obtain the knowledge they need, including a deeper understanding and recognition of Western painting and its historical development.
