| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 台灣文化研究所 === 99 === This study investigates the Taiwanese artists after February 28 Incident, including the first generation of Taiwanese western painter, Cheng-Po Chen and four painters - Yu-Shan Lin, Tian-Sheng Pu, Sin-Lu Liu and Wen Ou Yang, who are familiar with Chen. To conduct the research, the study adopts Literature Analysis, Document Analysis, Historical Comparative Analysis and Socio-artistic Analysis.
This research first explores the development of Taiwanese art. In the Japanese ruled period, the generation of fine arts movement expanded to Chia-Yi, which had been called “Painting City”. This study further investigates the background of Cheng-Po Chen and his transition of mindset during the Japanese ruled and postwar period, including the Chinese identity and what he went through in the February 28 Incident. Chen’ execution by shooting did not negatively influence Yu-Shan Lin and Tian-Sheng Pu and they continued their relationship with KMT government. However, Chen’s death severely impacted Sin-Lu Liu and Wen Ou Yang. Liu quit painting and abandoned his career as an artist; meanwhile, Ou Yang had been imprisoned for twelve years since 1950. As a result of personalities, characteristics of works and economic reasons, Yu-Shan Lin and Tian-Sheng Pu were not influenced by Chen’s death and continued their creations for the government. Wen Ou Yang was imprisoned as a result of his participation in February 28 Incident. However, during his life in prison, he still positively affected Taiwanese artist circle and Sin-Lu Liu still dedicated himself to the development of art in Chia-Yi. Even though the four artists had different reactions and attitudes toward Chen’s execution and February 28 Incident, they still exerted their social influences as artists, continued their artistic creations and enormously contributed to artist education and promotion.
