碩士 === 東海大學 === 美術學系 === 101 === ABSTRACT The intrinsic value provided by a cafe is comprehensive. From its functional point of view, cafe provides a space for leisure, tension-relief and social intercourse. On one hand, people can liberate busy life and practice their free lifestyle through café, so as to keep a peaceful emotion and happy feeling. On the other hand, café, being as a social platform, gathers all kinds of people, providing an opportunity for people to observe each other. In the first part of this dissertation, through the literature, the context and development of the famous coffee shop paintings was presented through literature review. Next, the psychological journey of the author, who considers herself to be a cafe loiterer for years, for keening on the exploration of interpersonal alienation the story behind men and women is presented. By integrating the inspiration, inspired by the historical paintings, and personal observation experienced from the café, two creative themes are proposed including: Theme one- Self-space: topics related to personal feelings of calm, bright mood and happiness brought from the cafe; Theme two- Social alienation: topics related to alienated feelings, and topics related to emotional entanglement between men and women. In the part of creative concept, the intention and arrangement for applying different elements (colors and lines) to different themes are described in sequence. Hopefully, the author wishes to provide viewers a whole new visual experience and demonstrate the diverse experience of the coffee shop.
