Reproduction has the characteristics of approachable, true portrayal and both form and spirit, which is widely loved by the audience. China has attached great importance to the reproduction characteristics of painting since the pre-Qin era. For example, in Guangya, it is said that "paintings are similar", and in Ming Shi, it is said that "paintings are also hung, and objects and images are also hung". Copying is also a traditional method of western artistic creation. Like Heraclitus in ancient Greece? Quot Painting mixes white and black, yellow and red pigments to depict an image similar to the original "; Renaissance painter L da Vinci said: "Painting is the only imitator of all visible things in nature", "The painter's heart should be like a mirror, always absorbing the colors of reflected things, and absorbing as many images as there are in front of him"; /kloc-A. Rodin, a realistic sculptor in the 0/9th century, said: "The only principle in art is to copy what you see. "A large number of works of art in Chinese and foreign history, such as Tang and Song Dynasties, Greece, Renaissance, neoclassicism, realistic landscapes, flowers and birds, figure paintings, etc., have adopted the technique of reproduction or emphasized reproduction, which is characterized by perceptual reality and calm rationality, careful observation and rigorous techniques.
It is the main trend in the history of art for artists to pursue true reproduction. Their works have unique aesthetic charm and broad mass base. Reproduction in art is not a mechanical reflection of reality, nor a purely objective reproduction of reality, but an artist uses material media such as lines, colors, bronze and marble to reflect the reality he knows according to the law of beauty. Reproduction in art is inseparable from the artist's understanding, selection, refining, processing and transformation, which embodies the artist's purpose and essence.
Generally speaking, performance refers to the artist's direct expression of his emotional experience and aesthetic ideal through artistic means. Rational and perceptual factors are more obvious. In terms of creative techniques, he pays attention to the ideal expression of objects or abandons concreteness, pursues extrasensory content and concepts, and adopts artistic languages such as symbol, implication, exaggeration, deformation and even abstraction to break through the experience habit of feeling. In the creative tendency, it focuses on self-expression, changing objects and expressing ideals.

Since the Song Dynasty, China's literati painting began to focus on the expression of subjective feelings instead of the real representation of objective reality.

From romanticism in19th century to modern schools, western art mostly emphasizes subjectivity, individuality, emotion and self-expression. E. Delacroix thinks that "the expression of emotion should be put in the first place" in painting, and the painter "should express it according to his own temperament"; H Matisse said that "the first thing I try to achieve is expression" and "my road is to constantly look for the possibility of expression other than real imitation"; Expressionist artists emphasize straightforward lyricism and express subjective consciousness. For example, Koelsch Nye said, "My paintings are metaphors, not imitations. Form and color are not their own beauty, but only created through the will of the mind. "The technique of expression in artistic creation is characterized by the leading role of rational concepts and strong emotions, free creation, not bound by existing techniques, and greater randomness.
Performance adapts to the general trend of western modernist art and has a great influence on the development of modern art. In fact, the expression of the subject is an indispensable factor in artistic creation. Any artistic work expresses the artist's subjective thoughts and feelings, personality, subjective consciousness and aesthetic evaluation and ideal of social life to varying degrees.
In calligraphy, arts and crafts and architecture, artists don't need to simulate external objects and reproduce reality from external shapes, colors or ornamentation, but they can directly affirm themselves emotionally from the external form of their works by freely applying the law of formal beauty, showing certain emotions, styles, aesthetic tastes and aesthetic ideals. In painting and sculpture, reproduction can't be completely absent, and reproduction can't be completely divorced from reproduction. They either achieve perfect unity or have different degrees of emphasis, but they do not offset each other one by one. Copy and expression, as a street in artistic creation? Mortar nephew Wei M:?
