Abstract:

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Shanghai and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the History Painting Creation and Research Center of our school created a group of paintings about the history of the liberation of Shanghai. In the article, we have talked about the concepts and characteristics of historical paintings and the creation of large-scale revolutionary historical themes in China, different narrative methods and difficulties of historical painting creation, based on practical problems we faced and experience we gained in the creation process. We conclude that proper balance should be achieved between the artist’s true feelings and emotions and subjective interpretation of the historical theme which goes beyond mere reflections.

Key words: history painting, theme of revolutionary history, narrative mode, subjective involvement
