Aesthetic Features and Cultural Functions of Naturalistic Image arts

Different classes of artists would present differences in techniques, forms and depth in their works even when they all adopt the naturalistic method in artistic creation.

Image arts have explored a new aesthetic field of naturalism with the aid of documentary photography, and perform some special cultural functions which are difficult to be fulfilled by other classes of arts for human beings.
