More specifically, this article is about the painting on the surface for artistic reasons.

Painting is an activity to process two-dimensional medium or three-dimensional surface of the object to get a certain impression. Painting medium can be anything, such as canvas, paper, board, and even a movie in the photography can be considered as the medium of painting. The tools used can also vary, with the requirement to provide a certain image to the media being used.

History

The oldest paintings in the Grotte Chauvet in France, claimed by some historians from around 32,000 years ago. The painting was engraved and painted using red ocher and black pigment and reveal horses, rhinoceros, lions, buffalo, giant, abstract designs and similar human figures may be partial. However, the earliest evidence of the creation of the painting has been discovered in two rock shelters in Arnhem Land, in northern Australia. At the lowest layer of material at this site is not used pieces of ocher estimated 60,000 years. The archaeologists also found a fragment of rock painting preserved in a limestone rock-shelter in the Kimberley region of North-Western Australia, that is dated 40 000 years. There are examples of cave paintings all over the world-in India, France, Spain, Portugal, China, Australia, etc.

In Western cultures oil painting and watercolor painting have rich and complex traditions in style and subject. In East ink, ink and color historically dominated by traditional media options are equally rich and complex.The invention of photography had a major impact on painting. In 1829, the first photograph was produced. From the mid to late 19th century, photographic processes improved and after looking more widely, painting lost much of its historic purpose to provide an accurate record of the observable world. There began a series of art movements into the 20th century where the Renaissance view of the world was steadily eroded, through Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism and Dadaism. Eastern and African painting, however, continued a long history of stylization and did not undergo the equivalent transformation at the same time.

Modern and Contemporary Art has moved away from the historic value of craft and documentation in favor of concept; This makes some people said in 1960 that the painting, as a serious art form, is dead. It also does not prevent the majority of living painters from continuing to practice painting either as whole or part of their work. The vitality and versatility of painting in the 21st century belies the premature declaration of destruction. In an age marked by the idea of ​​pluralism, there is no consensus regarding the age representation style. Important works of art continue to be made in a variety of styles and aesthetic temperaments, the market is left to judge performance.

Among the continuing and current directions in painting at the beginning of the 21st century are Monochrome painting, Hard-edge painting, Geometric abstraction, Appropriation, Hyperrealism, fotorealisme, Expressionism, Minimalism, Lyrical Abstraction, Pop Art, Op Art, Abstract Expressionism, Color Field painting, Neo-expressionism, Collage, Intermedia painting, body painting, Computer art painting, Postmodern painting, Neo-Dada painting, Shaped canvas painting, environmental mural painting, traditional figure painting, Landscape painting, portrait painting, and paint-on- glass animation.

Historically, painting strongly associated with the image. Prehistoric relics show that since thousands of years ago, human ancestors had begun making drawings on cave walls to represent the important parts of life. A painting or drawing can be made only by using simple materials such as charcoal, chalk, or other materials. One well-known technique of drawing of prehistoric cave people do is to put a hand on the wall of the cave, then menyemburnya with chewed leaves or colored mineral stone. The result is plagiarism colored hand-colored on the walls of caves that can still be seen today. This convenience allows the image (and subsequent painting) to grow faster than other branches of art such as sculpture and ceramic art.

As the picture, painting mostly built on top of a flat surface such as walls, floors, paper, or canvas. In modern art education in Indonesia, this trait also called bi-dimensions (two-dimensional, flat dimensions).

Objects that appear frequently in ancient works are humans, animals, and natural objects such as trees, hills, mountains, rivers, and seas. The shape of the object drawn is not always identical to the original. This is called the image and it is influenced by an understanding of the painter of the object. For example, a picture of a bull's horns made with the proportion of unusually large compared to the size of the original horns. Imagery is influenced by an understanding of the painter who thinks the horn is the most impressive part of a bull. Therefore, the image of one kind of object to vary depending on cultural understanding in the region.

At one point, there are certain people in a group of prehistoric people who spend more time drawing than for food. They began adept at making drawings and begin to find that the shape and structure of a particular form, when arranged in such a way, it would seem more interesting to see than usual. They began to find some kind of flavor of beauty in its activities and continue to do so so that they become more proficient. They were the first artists in the world and at that drawing and painting began leaning into art activities.

Painting classical antiquity 

Classical age painting mostly intended for the purpose of:

   
- Mysticism (as a result of underdeveloped religion)
   
- Propaganda (as an example of graffiti in the ruins of Pompeii),


At the time of this painting is meant to mimic as closely as possible the forms that exist in nature. This is as a result of the development of science and the beginning of the realization that art can communicate better than words in many ways.Medieval painting.

As a result of overly strong influence of religion in the Middle Ages, having penjauhan art than science. Science is regarded as magic can keep people out of devotion to God. Consequently, painting was no longer in line with reality.

Most of the paintings in this day and age is more of symbolism, not realism. So it is very difficult to find a painting that could be categorized as "good".

Paintings of this period are used for religious propaganda tool. Some religions forbid depictions of animals and humans encourage the development abstrakisme (separation of elements form the "right" of the object). 

Renaissance painting

Starting from the city of Florence. After the defeat of Turkey, many scientists and humanists (including artists) who withdrew from the Byzantine to the area of ​​the Italian peninsula now. Support from family deMedici who control the city of Florence to modern science and the art of creating synergy they generate a lot of donations towards a new culture of Europe. Fine art find new life in the rebirth of the art of classical antiquity. Science in the city is no longer considered magic, but as a new tool to regain power seized by Turkey. In the end, the influence of art in the city of Florence spread throughout Europe to Eastern Europe.

Art Nouveau 

The Industrial Revolution in England has led to mechanization in many respects. These items are made with mass production system with high accuracy. As a result, the hand craftsmanship of an artist is not as appreciated as it has replaced the machine-made delicacy. In response, the artist turned to forms that can not be achieved by mass production (or if possible, cost will be very expensive). Paintings, works of art, and crafts geared to smooth curves are mostly inspired from the beauty of the lines of plants in nature.

The history of painting in Indonesia

Indonesia modern painting began with the entry of Dutch colonialism in Indonesia. Tendency of Western European art at that time to make a lot of painters flow romance Indonesia participated in developing this genre.

In addition, tools such as paint and canvas paintings are increasingly hard to come by making paintings Indonesia tends to forms more simple, hence the birth of abstraction.

Painting is no longer regarded as a messenger and propaganda tool. Indonesian painting trips since planting R. Saleh until the beginning of this XXI century, was still swayed by the various conflicts of conception.

Indonesian art establishment that has not reached the level of success has been ravaged by the idea of ​​modernism that produce alternative art or contemporary art, with the emergence of the concept art (conceptual art): "Installation Art", and "Performance Art", which once flourished in parts of the campus art colleges around 1993-1996. Then came the various alternatives such as "collaboration" as a mode 1996/1997. Together it is also conventional painting with a variety of styles adorn the galleries, which are no longer as a token of appreciation to the community, but it is an alternative investment business.
