| Popis: | 107 This paper mainly takes flowers in still-life paintings as the research object, and takes the symbolic meaning conveyed by flowers in painting as the focus of discussion. This paper mainly uses semiotic theories to analyze the floral symbols in still-life paintings. After a series of study on the still-life paintings about the floral symbols, the main results and feedbacks of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. The common floral symbols among the still-life paintings include a great variety of special floral symbolic themes. Among them, flowers with bright color, special design and easy identification are most often selected and used by artists, and they appear among the theme graphics of paintings, or function as auxiliary images to create the theme meaning. 2. According to Saussure's theory of signs, the floral symbol has the two characteristics such as signifier and signified. As for the signifier of the image theme, it covers visual symbols with positive meanings such as obvious love and happiness; as for signified, it mainly expresses the contents thematically about “beautiful visual painting,” “happy emotions and communication of warm life,” “weaving of romantic love world,” and “the writing of artist's inner world.” 3. According to Saussure’s two-axis theoretical analysis of the composition of relations, the same image type of associative symbol groups with universal and obvious significance becomes the symbolic selection more easily. The theme and significance of a work will influence the selection of the genealogy of symbols, which determines the expressions of the work and the significance conveyed. In the process of artistic creation, due to the need of the communicative intentions of the sign, different types of image symbols will be used in the meantime, and the genealogy of symbols coexists and influences each other simultaneously. |
