The realistic painting belongs to the embodiment art in the artistic shape, is one expression of drawing. The artists reappearance the outside image of goods through observing and portraying, experiencing personally and understanding, this kind of artical work is in line with viewer’s visual experience, and provides view joyful of sense organ esthetically.
The realism drawing orgins from the West, and has a glorious history and deep tradition. The realistic painting expanded in the Europe Renaissance period, and after a magnificence history of 500 years, it has produced many masters of art, and greart works in the art history. People have never suspected that the entire Western history of art before the 20th century is the realistic painting history. The coming of camera and photography had once caused people to have suspicion toward the realistic painting’s function. In fact photography cannot take the place of drawing. Exterior challenge can force art itself become more “articalizedâ€, which is determined automatic by art’s rhythmicity. The 20th century’s western fine arts have broken the situation that classicism practical’s monopolizing, and particularly the birth of modern art idea, has expanded the artistic area greatly, created numerous artistic schools,colorful, and started moving towards a new multi-dimensional stage. . As one drawing form the realistic painting still held its position, at the same time it has many outstanding artists and works.
The realism drawing has broad market in China. Most of time in the 20th century, realistic painting still liked a flower abloomed alone in Chinese painting world, which mainly profit from the prop and advocation from government. The French academism realistic painting whose representative was Xu Beihong and Russia Chestjakov academism teaching method were set as legitimate, and the artistic practice and teaching were limited in this kind of pattern for a long time to engage in the subject on which served for politics. In this seal program, there is one point should be acknowledged by the Chinese and foreign artists that the Chinese artists’ ability in studing diligently drawing technology have been improved a lot.
Along with the opendoor policy, the modern art fashion flooded into China. In the 1980s Chinese painting world had fullfilled fission truly, multiplex consciousness has struck root in people’s hearts, the art started to connect with the world’s development, and attempted to develop with the trends in the world together. How was the destiny of classicism realistic painting which was once presented as traditional and legitimated? The realistic painting once fell into a dilemma in the modern art ideological trend, as if realistic painting was regarded as the seal and the conservation, under this kind of premise, to insist the academic standpoint became very palely. Moreover, after art enter current distribution realm as commodity, because of that artistic market operation was not good, also, the “market†and “academic†was on the same pace , partial artists do not belong to market competition all these made the artical image of the realistic painting( not only realistic painting) a little one misfortune after another. But the realistic painting as one of multielements, its own artistic mission and the artistic charm still kept its elegant demeanor after experiencing wind and storm. Looking from art that demonstrated in recent years, the artists of practical style bring us at least three prompts as following:
Firstly, the artists pay great attention to the expression of drawing language, use the Oil paintings art’s carrier to care about life, society, relation between human and society and nature. The drawing language style varies, and emphasizes the self-appearance in reliefing.
Secondly, through practice the artist absorbed the using method of many kinds of materials (part should be owe to material technique teaching of Vyell and the Binkasi) and the pictures’ processing effect was better than that of the 80s-90s obviously.
Thirdly, the integration of modern art idea which was also the most noticeable,and many artists expressed and interpreted their mood from a brand-new angle in their work, proposed showy art idea, which were called by people “the neoclassicism†“the new embodiment†“drawing on the new frame†and so on, and we may call it as “the new realismâ€.
In brief, the realistic painter and the realistic painting has irresistible charm, unreplaceable function, and many artists contributy themselves in it, and study hard, which must bring a lot of new scenery!

Collecting Oil paintings is also a kind of investment. But it is different from stock and real estate. Relatively speaking, the change of oil painting’s price is not so frequently, only at bidding block has the opportunity to come to a deal (or even through gallery to find the buyer also cannot reach a deal at once), its process and rhythm has a big difference between buying and selling stock. But there is one piont that is the same, which if macroscopical situation is the good, the earlier you buy, the higher odds-on you will get. Oil paintings investment should focus on long-term, and accounted by year. It is impossible to earn substantial profits in some months, even there are exceptions, these kind of circumstances are rare. The cycle of Oil paintings investment is fairly long, the exigency of buy and sell is also somewhat different, when price or the whole increasement has been under one kind of state, for example at price incresing orbit, market sentiment is insurgent and other all kind of advantageous factors also can make buyer make wrong decision. If only want to earn money, gain profits from buying oil painting, buyers should pay particukar attention to the skill of how to buy and sell which is very important. Generally speaking, if the Oil paintings is very precious, we can said it would always rise in value. Let’s look back to the price 20 years ago, which differed ten times, even hunderd times compared with nowaday’s price, and the price will up or down in 2 or 3 years still unknown, but we can asure that in the farer future, the certainty of price’s up is bigger.
The insiders believe that, compared with western oil painting, the price of Chinese oil paintings has a big gap. The Chinese painters who has the same reputation with western painters, normally their price gap is more than 20 times. According to the analysis of insiders, compared with Chinese painting, calligraphy and chinaware, the price of Chinese oil paintings still has an upward space. Many great Oil paintings works havenot refected their real market price, so Oil paintings market will go on rising in a time forward. From the auction deals of Oil paintings these two years, long-term investment still has a big rise space. If you want to invest, the insiders suggest you to pay attention to the below points.
Firstly, invest to those meticulous works of modern oil painters. The modern strengthen painters have a full-grown development on painting skills, their ideas of creation are more active, subject matter is more widen, thus their production has a lively era characteristic. The core of choosing should towards those works of middle-aged and youth excellent paints. Such as those put out on auction market last year: Shi Hu ‘Liangjiao’, Wang Qidong ‘Kaoyan houseâ€, Yu Sheng ‘Two Meanings’, Xia Junna ‘Girl and Cat’, Hu Jiancheng ‘Dream’. Althrough they are still young, their work have been accepted, and also their price is low, so has space of investment.
Secondly, follow closely works of those older generation who had passed away. Among these painters except a very few became famous, most of their works’ value still undervalue, which potential in afternoon market is unpredictable. Such as Xu Beihong, Li Shutong, the Li Tiefu,
Yan Wenliang, Chen Baoyi, Lin Fengmian, Guan Liang, Li Chaoshi, Lu Sibai, Guan Zilan and so on, they are not only disseminators of the Western oil painting, but also pioneers of the Chinese oil painting, and they hold an important position in the Chinese oil paintings history.

Chinese oil paintings has started appearing on the stage of artwork auction since 20 century 90s. Chen Yifei and Wu Guanzhong were the most famous among all artists. The knockdown price of Chen’s Oil paintings ‘Hilly Wind’ and ‘the Left Appeal of Xunyang’ were separately 2.68 million and 1.375 million Hongkong Dollar, while Wu Guanzhong’s ‘Montmartre Highland’ was 0.845 Hongkong Dollar. As these facts, some people may just think it as lucky special cases, but from oanother side, at least they reflect oil painting’s position in modern artwork collecting world and the whole art market.
Recently, there are many powerful painter who have profound artistic attainments and market potential active in art market, such as Luo Zhongli, Chen Yanning, Zhou Chunya, Mao Yan, Chang Qing, Yang Feiyun, Liu Xiaodong, Pang Maokun, Xia Junna, Lin Qingqing and etc. Although the price of their works is not so expensive, they gained their stable position in art market through works with high quality, high taste, thus they still been paid attention to by collecters. And those had already gained evalutaion, the old generation oil painters, such as Wu Zuoren, Sha shi, Chang Yu, Qi Shangyi, Zhan Jianjun, Quan Shanshi, Zhu Naizheng, Chen Junde and etc, the price of their works are even increasing with assurance.
The tendency that Chinese oil paintings has become hotter in art market, this can also be approved by the great yearly art fair. The art fair positions with its systematical operation and objective value orientation and quality, provides a more equal channel for artworks transaction for collecters. As to nowadays’ consumption state that masscult article elements are extrusive but difficult to make everyone feel satisfied, it is undoubtedly a kind of art market mode that full with attraction. The Shanghai Art Fair, from 1997 to 2000, the quantity of oil painting’s proportion in all works in exhibition was 35% in the first year increased by 65% in the fourth year, and became the full deserve leading role of art fair.
At present, in the Chinese art market, the price of Oil paintings is obvious higher than Chinese painting by and large. As to this we can find a lot of reasons, such as the period of painting Oil paintings is longer, more easier to collect, and their price has an international system for reference and so on. But in the last analysis, different kind of art works cannot be compared with. Here need to say is, for collecters, the more investment the more risk, at the same time the more compensation for risk. An Oil paintings with real artical value and market potential, besides as an morphological Oil paintings that endowed with anatomy, perspective, color, light and shade, line, strokes and all kinds of elements and the specific language of oil painting, the most important things are unique painting style and aesthetic view of painters. And whether can hold these elements correctly is a stone that can test a collecter’s quality of art appreciation and discerning of investment decision-making.
