Abstract

This article is based on Bergson philosophy of life point of view, to interpret the same period of modern painting as part of research projects. The initial study was the author of "father of modern painting," Cézanne and the real comparative study between Bergson; then, have been discussed separately subsequent art movements: Fauvism, Cubism, rhythm, Futurism and the doctrine of representativeness of Ophelia in theory and creative artists in the philosophy of Bergson quality. This adjourned its theta to metaphysics in "appearance and it is" and the theory of knowledge in "intuition and reason" analysis into the road, explore the important artists: Duchamp of the "Bergson style." Hope this is closely related to before and after the study is further discussed in contemporary painting and Bergson philosophy, culture and meaning in the same system of interaction and development of the situation; and interpretation in this framework, multi-arts style of modern painting; as distinct from the present work are generally more focused on the analysis or discussion of the form. Henri Bergson's philosophy shares great importance in the late 19 and early 20 centuries in French. This is the point of departure I will take in this article, which constitutes the third part of my modern painting research. The first part of the research started from the issue regarding Cézanne and Bergson. While the second part regarding representatives of Cézanne's successors: Fauvism, Cubism, Rhythmism, Futurism and Orphism were also probed. On these grounds and under the same direction, this article moves forward for further research. Namely, Ⅰ will take the similar approach to interpret Marcel Duchamp's art. With these Ⅰ will show the multiple styles of modern art with Bergsonian viewpoints. Consequently, a principal characteristic of early 20 century European painting could better be interpreted as the multiple formal expressions and innovative developments of "Bergsonian style", or the crystallization of Bergsonian spiritual-positivism
