Following the accelerating pace of globalisation,an increasing number of individuals are going abroad to broaden their horizons,which is feasible and frequent and then the public are more likely to spread or transmit promptly their information,symbols,images,values,and beliefs taking advantage of the internet and communication technology.In addition,globalisation is not only the sharing of a high-tech society but it also involves the acceptance of certain values and ideas so that it is unavoidable that the spread of perspectives and values would not reduce cultural diversity.
Apparently,one of the dominant arguments embraces the statement that globalisation,a ubiquitous phenomenon,leads to the damaging of culture via cultural swapping so that it is attempting to give rise to one homogeneous culture (Barber,2003).That is to say,the decrease of unique cultural identity arises from globalisation.However,there is an opposing argument that globalization will not lead to the disappearance of culture and that dominant culture has not weakened the weaknesses of minority culture,but strengthens the strengths of it.As Lane and Ersson (2003) commented,globalisation proceeds have witnessed a couple of phenomena that involve the strengthening of cultural identities,or more correctly the search for new cultural identities including mixing culture alongside globalisation.In addition,globalization has an inclination to increase distinction in cultural expression,because in cultural exchange,it struggles to blossom to the kinds of cultural expressions.In other words,it creates more diversity (Cowen,2002).This can be seen in the way where the ming ling of culture or cultural hybridisation,are utilised and promoted.Plus,globalisation provides an opportunity for different countries to interact with one another and communication among different people,which is not restricted by geographical factors so that such opportunities are likely to increase,information is likely to spread far and wide,forms of expression are likely to diversify.Overall,cultural interaction and cooperation are advantageous through globalisation.
This increased heterogeneity of cultural expression,although there is rarely homogeneity.Diverse forms in painting adequately demonstrate distinction due to cultural shock and cultural integration.Obviously,forming a creative way of expression and sharing a range of distinction as well as taking advantage of all cultures can be seen in the following the example of Vincent Van Gogh’s Portrait of Père Tanguy.The Portrait of Père Tanguy was painted by Vincent Van Gogh who is an eminent and influential post-impressionist artist.This artwork exemplifies global heterogeneity on account of the fact that it is the most manifest artwork under the greater influence of ukiyo-e which is a genre of Japanese art,Japanese woodblock prints,among Van Gogh’s artworks.In the early sixteenth century,ukiyo-e became highly prevalent and was a source of muse to many Impressionists and post-impressionist artists in Europe including Van Gogh,even though other kinds of art were popular as well (Volk et al.,2004).In fact,Japanese geishas,Fujiyama and other Japanese elements were clearly utilised by Van Gogh in the artwork.What is more,the influence of ‘Japonaiserie’ which Van Gogh created this term to express the effect of Japanese art and specifically Japanese prints is still evident in this work reflecting the Japanese culture and tradition with his strong outlines;the use of overt colors is an element typical of Japanese woodblock prints;use of color contrasts and cropped compositions reveals the great Japanese impact on his work (VanGoghGallery,2017).Therefore,it represents that different styles from different countries offer the artists an opportunity of standing on the shoulders of giants and drawing inspiration from the masterpieces.
Consequently,it would be seen that paintings around the world is more various than in the past because of diverse factors and mainly the impact of globalisation.
