Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the dilemmas and challenges of contemporary Chinese calligraphy painting in art creation and its development strategies. As an important part of traditional Chinese culture, Chinese painting has been widely recognized and praised by the world for its unique artistic style and cultural connotation. However, with the change of the times and the development of the society, Chinese calligraphy painting also faces many problems and challenges, such as the contradiction between tradition and innovation, the lack of calligraphy and painting techniques, and the pressure of marketization and commercialization. Taking the lack of brush and ink as the entry point, this paper conducts an in-depth study of the artistic creation dilemma of contemporary Chinese calligraphy and painting, explores the reasons and influences behind it, and proposes corresponding development strategies, including strengthening art education and training, improving government support and supervision, and encouraging artistic innovation and experimentation. Among them, strengthening art education and training is the key to improving the level of creative writing and enriching the cultural connotation of painting. Government support and supervision can regulate the market order and protect the rights and interests of artists. Encouraging artistic innovation and experimentation can promote the artistic development of Chinese calligraphy painting and explore new ways of expression.
