The basic intention of realism oil painting is to present as closely as possible the original form of each object without bias or personal opinion,using pictorial simulation techniques such as points, lines, zones and colors. In order to reproduce the object＇s original form or to simulate it as faithfully as he can, the painter should be emotionally attached to the object. This will win him the praise of the viewer. But it is, however, only an amateur form of representational drawing. It is not real ＇art. What really moves the viewer is to be able to read the painter＇s formulating thoughts, to feel emotions emerge, and to sense the pursuit of ~mt.~thing, regardless of whether it is realism or not. This is a basic truth which has sadly been overlooked by many artists. It is a demanding task for artists to master the required skills and techniques and many become obsessed with trying to perfect them, while forgetting, in the process, the real purpose behind artistic creation. To make matters worse, the audience for this kind of art is ordinary people who have a tendency to compare the artwork with the original object, a habit that ftnther deters from the real purpose of art. Despite this, since oil painting was introduced in the 15th century, there has nonetheless been much creative genuine art over the years and this has brought some relief to artistic poverty. In the past century, atter oil painting was introduced into China, Chinese artists have added invaluable contributions. Indeed, realism oil painting has enjoyed great success both in Western society and in China alike.
