On the artistic concept and characteristics of Chinese contemporary neo-realism oil painting

The philosophical foundations of modern art are inextricably linked to the development of culture and the peculiarities of a particular artist's creative process. Chinese neorealist painting is a representative reflection of the philosophy of the “new period” epoch in the national culture, which focused the society's attention on the significant changes in the fine arts of the Celestial Empire in the post-reform period. It is proved that the philosophical and cultural preconditions of the artistic concept of neo-realist art were the theories of neo-Kantianism. Philosophical ideas of a new reality of human existence, a different quality of social relations actualized the ideas of humanistic ideals of professional activity of the modern artist, the value of national identity. The concept of neorealist painting in China is an expression of world and traditional national philosophy in art, due to which it acquires a number of specific features, one of the most important among which is the assumption of subjectivism in the interpretation of reality.
