A Study on Cultural Perception of Landscape Composition Based on Attention Mechanisms in Paintings: Between Shanshui and Impressionism

Abstract

This study compares Chinese landscape paintings and Western Impressionist landscape paintings using the attention mechanism method. Both types of paintings depict natural scenery and have unique artistic values in terms of composition, aesthetics, and cultural transmission. The attention mechanism, used for human visual research, has been applied to deep learning with great success. The researchers use this method for painting recognition and landscape design because of its simplicity, high speed, full automation, and accuracy. The results show that Eastern and Western paintings have distinct characteristics in composition, color, spatial hierarchy, and visual focus. A contemporary landscape composition model can be developed by integrating the advantages of both Eastern and Western artistic styles, revealing traditional aesthetic principles in modern design. This model provides diverse practical ideas for contemporary cultural landscape design, fulfilling modern human desires for a better living environment.
