Summary:
This paper explores the influence of color restriction as a new trend in contemporary painting on artistic expression and the aesthetics of the times. Firstly, the importance and diversity of color in painting are introduced, and then the concept of color limitation and its application in contemporary painting are expounded, including limiting the number of colors, adjusting color saturation and brightness, etc. Then, the influence of color constraints on the visual effect and emotional expression of paintings, as well as the degree of compatibility with contemporary social aesthetic trends, are analyzed.
I. Introduction
From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, there was a complete revolution in the field of modern painting, which was not only a subversion of the traditional painting norms, but also a profound subversion and challenge to people's way of understanding art. In this revolution, the high degree of emancipation of color expression played a crucial role.
In traditional painting, color is often regarded as an imitation and reproduction of reality, and is bound by the laws of the objective world. However, modern painting challenges this traditional notion by liberating color from the constraints of the objective world and giving it a new expressive power and meaning. Painters began to try to explore the inner world and subjective feelings through the rich variations of color and emotional expression.
Since the advent of Impressionism, color has become an important element in modern painting. Artists such as Van Gogh, Monet, and Cézanne opened the precedent of modern painting through their bold use of color and abstract expression, setting a new standard of expression for later artists. Since then, color in painting is no longer just a representation of the objective world, but has become an important tool for artists to express their personal emotions and concepts.
II. Freedom of color expression and subversive innovation
A. Characteristics of color expression in modern painting
The representation of color in modern painting presents a number of unique characteristics, and they show more freedom and innovation than traditional painting.
First of all, the use of color in modern painting is more daring and rich. In traditional painting, color is often used to imitate and reproduce the objective world, which is limited to a certain range. In modern painting, artists have broken free from this restriction and boldly used a variety of bright and contrasting colors to create a colorful and tense visual effect. For example, in Van Gogh's "Starry Night", the vivid blue and golden yellow make up a unique sky and stars, presenting a dreamlike visual effect that gives people a strong shock and appeal.
Secondly, the use of color in modern painting is more abstract and emotional. Different from the imitation of the objective world in traditional painting, the artists in modern painting pay more attention to the emotional expression and inner meaning of color. Through the change and combination of colors, they express their innermost emotions and thoughts, presenting a more abstract and profound art form. For example, in Picasso's "The Feast", the bright colors and distorted forms constitute a world full of hints and symbols, giving people deep thoughts and feelings.
B. The influence of the high degree of emancipation of color expression on the art of painting
The high degree of emancipation of color expression has had a profound impact on the art of painting, which not only changes the expression form of painting, but also shapes the aesthetic concept and artistic style of modern painting.
First of all, the high degree of emancipation of color expression expands the expression of painting. In traditional painting, color is often used to depict the objective world, which is limited to a certain range. In modern painting, color has been endowed with a more extensive and rich expressive function, which is no longer limited to the imitation of the objective world, but has become an important means for artists to express their emotions and concepts. This highly liberated color expression has brought more diverse and rich forms of expression to painting, making it present a more colorful and tense artistic style.
Secondly, the high degree of emancipation of color expression has promoted the innovation and development of painting art. In traditional painting, color is often seen as a representation of the objective world, and is bound to the traditional concept of realism. In modern painting, artists have freed themselves from this shackle, liberated color from the constraints of the objective world, and endowed it with a richer and more profound expressive function. This highly liberated color expression provides a broad space and possibility for the innovation and development of painting art, and promotes the continuous progress and renewal of painting art.
C. Freedom of development and subversive innovation in form
In modern painting, the free exploration and subversive innovation of form are also a prominent way of expression. In traditional painting, form is often limited by the objective world, and is used to imitate and reproduce objective reality. In modern painting, artists have freed themselves from this restriction and liberated form from the shackles of the objective world, giving it a more free and flexible expressive function. Through bold changes and innovations in form, they have created a variety of new and unique art forms, presenting a more diverse and enriched art style.
III. The embodiment of individual feelings and conceptual expressions in contemporary painting
A. Contemporary painting's emphasis on individual feelings and conceptual expressions
Contemporary painting emphasizes the importance of individual feelings and conceptual expressions, reflecting the artist's exploration of self-identity and inner world, as well as his concern for social, cultural, and political issues.
In contemporary society, individual feelings and the expression of ideas are regarded as vital values. Artists express their emotions, experiences, and thoughts through their paintings, reflecting their perception and understanding of the real world. Unlike traditional painting, which emphasizes the representation of the objective world, contemporary painting pays more attention to the expression of the individual's inner world, pursuing the truth of emotions and the depth of concepts. Through the use of elements such as color, form and composition, the artists integrate their own personal experiences and concepts into their works, creating a unique and rich artistic language.
B. The artist's self-expression and conceptual interpretation in painting
The artist's self-expression and conceptual interpretation in painting is one of the important characteristics of contemporary painting. Through their work, they express their personal feelings, thoughts and beliefs, while also exploring and reflecting on social, cultural and political issues.
In painting, artists often use a rich variety of colors and forms, as well as unique compositions and expressions, to express their innermost emotions and thoughts. Through the use of color, they show their own unique perception and understanding of the world, presenting a colorful emotional world. At the same time, the artists also use their works to illustrate their own views and opinions on social, cultural and political issues, so as to provoke the viewer's reflection and reflection. The images and scenes they present through their paintings imply a concern and critique of the real world, showing their hopes and yearning for the future.
C. The influence of individual feelings and conceptual expressions on the use of color
Individual feelings and conceptual expressions have had a profound impact on the use of color, making it no longer limited to the imitation of the objective world, but becoming an important means for artists to express their emotions and concepts.
In contemporary painting, the use of color is no longer bound by traditional concepts, but is more free and diverse. Through the selection and combination of colors, the artists express their innermost emotions and concepts, creating colorful and tense visual effects. Individual feelings and conceptual expressions enable artists to more keenly capture the emotions and connotations contained in color, thus creating more personalized and unique works.
IV. The Concept and Characteristics of Color Limitation
A. Definition and Origin of Color Restrictions
Color restriction refers to the artist's conscious restriction of the range of colors used in the creative process to achieve specific expressive effects and emotional expressions. This limitation may be based on personal aesthetic preferences, subject matter requirements, or the artist's understanding of the psychology of color. Originating from the challenge of traditional color expression and the new exploration of color in art, color restriction has gradually become a new creative trend in contemporary painting.
B. Typical characteristics and manifestations of color limitations
Limited color palette: Artists choose a limited set of colors to represent in the creative process, usually limited to a few primary colors or monotones.

Accentuation of emotion and atmosphere: Through the restriction and careful combination of colors, the artist is able to more accurately convey the emotion and atmosphere that the work is intended to express, so as to arouse the viewer's emotional resonance.
Use of Symbols and Symbols: Sometimes, the limitations of color can also be expressed through specific symbols or symbols, which make the work more meaningful and deep.
C. Comparative analysis of color limitations and traditional color expressions
Different ways of expression: Traditional color expression emphasizes colorful, real and vivid color presentation, while color restriction pays more attention to the selection and restriction of colors to achieve a more profound expression effect.
Ways to express emotions: Traditional color expressions express emotions through a variety of colors, while color restrictions highlight specific emotions and atmospheres through the careful use of a small number of colors.
Viewer's experience and understanding: Traditional color expressions may be more likely to attract the viewer's attention and resonance, while color limitations require the viewer to understand and experience them more deeply in order to grasp the deep meaning and connotation.
V. The artistic significance and aesthetic effect of color limitations
A. The Enlightenment and Influence of Color Restrictions on Artistic Creation
Color restriction plays an important role in artistic creation, which is not only a technical means, but also a challenge and improvement of artists' creative thinking and aesthetic concepts.
First, color constraints force artists to think more deeply about and understand the nature and function of color. Through the conscious limitation of color, the artist needs to delve into the characteristics, emotional expression, and visual effect of each color, so as to more accurately select the color that suits the theme and expression of the work.
Secondly, color limitations stimulate the creativity and imagination of artists. Working in a limited range of colors, artists need to find more innovative and unique ways of expression, and may try to combine different color combinations or use special techniques and materials, thus opening up new possibilities for artistic creation.
In addition, the limitation of color also prompted artists to pay more attention to the overall effect and expressiveness of the work. In the limited range of colors, artists need to pay more attention to the contrast, balance and harmony between colors to ensure that the works achieve visual harmony and unity, which is essential to enhance the aesthetic quality and artistic value of the works.
B. Aesthetic experience and emotional resonance brought about by color limitations
The aesthetic experience and emotional resonance brought about by the color restriction is its unique charm, which deeply touches the viewer's heart through simple and precise color expression.
First of all, color restrictions can enhance the expressiveness and appeal of the work. Through the use of a small number of colors, the artist can express the emotions and themes of the work more intensively, so that the work is more intense and appealing, and the viewer can be more moved by the work.
Secondly, color restrictions can deepen the viewer's understanding and experience of the work. Since color is consciously limited to a specific range, the viewer is more focused on the structure, form, and emotional expression of the work when appreciating the work, so as to understand and experience the connotation and meaning of the work more deeply.
In addition, color restrictions stimulate the viewer's imagination and associative abilities. Since color is limited to a small range, the viewer may spontaneously imagine a richer and broader visual space and emotional world, so that the meaning and value of the work are more enriched and profoundly extended.
C. The artistic significance and value of the color limit
As a new trend in contemporary painting, color restriction has important artistic significance and contemporary value.
In the artistic sense, the limitation of color reflects the artist's in-depth exploration and innovative practice of color language, enriches the form and mode of artistic expression, and expands the boundaries and possibilities of artistic creation. Through the conscious restriction of color, artists are able to express their emotions and concepts more accurately, creating works of art full of personality and unique charm, thus injecting new vitality and vitality into contemporary painting.
In terms of the value of the times, the color limit reflects the pursuit and appreciation of simplicity, refinement and connotation in contemporary society. In the context of the information explosion, people's aesthetic needs for artworks are constantly changing, and they are more inclined to those works that are concise and profound, rich in connotation and emotional resonance. Therefore, as a simple and profound form of artistic expression, color restriction is in line with the aesthetic trend and value orientation of contemporary society, and has high value and social significance.
VI. Conclusion
As a new trend in contemporary painting, color restriction has important artistic significance and contemporary value. Through the conscious restriction of color, artists are able to express their emotions and concepts more accurately, creating works of art full of personality and unique charm. At the same time, the color restriction also reflects the pursuit and appreciation of simplicity, delicacy and connotation in contemporary society, which is in line with the aesthetic trend and value orientation of contemporary society. Therefore, color restriction not only has an important inspiration and influence in artistic creation, but also brings a rich and profound aesthetic experience and emotional resonance, which has important artistic significance and value of the times.
