When talking about his works, Zao Wou-ki repeatedly used mysterious words such as "I don't know", "I didn't think about anything", "naturally", etc., which confirmed that his brain thinking cannot be subjectively conscious during the painting process. The control side. The British esthetician Herbert Reed pointed out in an article on Picasso: "There is no doubt that Picasso relied on his subconscious mind in a special stage of his painting creation. Conceive images. (See Illustration 2) We have already read Picasso's own descriptions of the painting process of some of his paintings, which clearly show that he was in a trance while painting. And he accepted the phenomena that came from what he discovered in trance states. "Like many artists, Picasso is not a rational creator, as is very clear through his series of conversations. Picasso's famous saying is "I don't explore, I discover. "The difference between his later paintings and abstractionism is that his paintings are derived from the observation of nature, that is, they "reproduce" specific things. This kind of representation is often a distorted representation, an exaggerated representation. This kind of representation The objects are often grotesque female bodies, the connections and dislocations of the heads are incomprehensible. The colors in these compositions are clear and dazzling, and the compositions are usually simple, based on the principles of architecture. This kind of artistic work cannot be imagined. The theory of subconsciousness cannot be reasonably explained. When Picasso painted these paintings, he was obviously in a state of daydreaming, a kind of ecstasy, perhaps a state of self-hypnosis. A sudden flash of light in front of me. "He didn't know in advance what he was going to paint, he didn't decide what colors to use, he didn't want to do anything, and he didn't seek to do anything. He allowed his feelings to run free and painted in a trance, but this kind of Trance has a kind of sensitivity, the kind of visual clarity in dreams.
What we focus on in this article is the influence of subconscious instinct on painting creation, while not denying the influence of consciousness on creativity. The role of activities. However, "creation" is a complex process that cannot be explained clearly using psychological methods. Psychology can only use the method of purposeful behavior to explain all human actions. The subconscious mind is unpredictable. It sometimes stimulates and sometimes inhibits people's creative behavior. Returning to past feelings-even childhood memories and fantasies may lead to creative synthesis of various perceptions or perceptions. It is not a disease, it creates the form of art and reflects the perfection of art. This article mainly analyzes the role of subconsciousness in painting creation. Of course, humans are different from animals. They cannot perform certain behaviors based on instinct and subconsciousness. In society, everyone is subject to moral, ethical and legal constraints. For example, if a hungry person is faced with a rich food that does not belong to him, his instinct and subconscious desire to eat may be suppressed by social consciousness, and this desire may be suppressed. It was released through his dreams; and the artist’s subconsciousness naturally revealed during the creative process was a pure and advanced spiritual activity, where imagination replaced rigorous logical thinking. “Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is Limited, but imagination is infinite” (Einstein). A large number of facts show that the subconscious is an important factor that cannot be ignored in painting creation, and it is also an entry point for interpreting mysterious creativity. If artistic creation is not achieved Inspiration, if you don’t lose your normal reason and fall into madness, there is no creativity without the eruption of the subconscious.
