Lu Chi-Cheng (1914-1990), a renowned mountain painter, is a representative oil painter of postwar Taiwan. Lu was born in Taipei, but soon emigrated to Xiamen (Amoy) with family and spent his childhood there. It was during the Xiamen period that Lu, following the instruction of Wang Yiyun (1895-1981), received preliminary artistic education. This experience of studying art differs from that of other modern Taiwanese artists, most of whom chose to go to Tokyo and enroll in Tokyo Fine Arts School or other institutes. To further study art, Lu went to Japan in 1931, where he relied on his brother who was running business in Kobe. During his stay in Kobe, Lu studied oil painting with Asaji Imai, and was influenced by such members of the Independent Art Association as Shigeyoshi Hayashi and Ren Ito, etc. Additionally, Lu spent time in Tokyo studying nude life sketching. When Xiamen was occupied by Japan in 1938, Lu was conscripted to as a translator. During this period (1938-46), Lu also attended art activities in Xiamen. For instance, Lu exhibited his paintings in Sino-Japanese Joint Fine Art Exhibition, a cultural activity that the Japanese authority held to win over local Chinese’s support. Some Taiwanese painters also attended such events, from which a phenomenon can be detected, i.e., the frequent cultural exchange between Taiwan and Xiamen painters due to this very special political circumstance. This research investigated Lu’s art activities traveling between Taipei, Xiamen, Kobe and Tokyo, hoping to provide a new transregional perspective towards Taiwanese Art History study, which, till now, mostly emphasized art activities taking place in Taiwan. |
