Features: The discussion of artists and art theorists is not the central focus of this book, but it serves as our starting point for exploring art. The relationship between theoretical learning and technical expression, as well as the principles of artistic creation and cultural cultivation, are important threads in art theory, which we will address in subsequent chapters. It must be emphasized that learning this theory and studying this course requires first strengthening awareness, adjusting attitudes, and reaching consensus, otherwise the effort will be doubled and the result halved. Second, an important point is that one must not oppose or reject art theory. Rejecting art theory may have been fashionable for a time, but it has proven to discard historical insights and sensitivity to art, leading to detours. Therefore, returning to the authentic state of art theory and artistic creation, and revealing the kinship between artists and art theorists, has become a special pathway to return to the right course.
