Meei –Er Ueng Master Candidate：Chu Chi-Hsu Date：2007, June Abstract All creatures naturally employ a variety of corresponding gesture during the flow of their lives. The transition of human society also alters its aesthetic value. Facing the coming of the new era, we realize that aestheticism has its importance and merits while the abundance and the profundity of life serve as the basis of aesthetic. It is from the dialectic from different space-timed perspective and cultural backgrounds that we deduce where eventually the real and unreal belong. Science pursues truth while art pursues beauty. We have confronted many aesthetic issues during my painting creations and this research is going to start with theory and practice, dividing into basic discussion, main body and the result, which includes eight chapters as follows. First, the basic discussion: Chapter one discusses the reason and the goal of the writer who engaged in painting on this topic and a sketch of the research method and range and limitation. Chapter two is the review of documents which generalize the study and the meaning of aesthetic, the development of Chinese and western aesthetic, the analysis of aesthetic and the idea of beauty and ugliness. Second, the main body: In Chapter three” The Transition of Mass Aesthetic” we discuss the transition of aesthetic and its factors from the female figure in east and west and their differences in culture. Chapter four” The Standard of the Female Figure” discusses the causes that affect the aesthetic judgment from different categories. Chapter five “Beauty Myth—the Beauty and Sorrow of the Female Figure” discusses mass aesthetic through the supermodel phenomenon. Chapter six “Independent Creation Theory” discusses the east-west painting styles and aesthetic attitude that affected the writer emphasizing Cezanne and post-cubism on his work. Third, the result: Chapter seven “Works Appreciation” discovers sophisticated and diverse aesthetic experiences through past and present, time and space and accomplishes works by reaching inner spirit and probes into the forms and fundamental elements in creation. Chapter eight “Conclusion” disserts what have been learned and the self-criticism and self-expect for ourselves. Key words: supermodel phenomenon, figure beauty, mass culture, aesthetic
