| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 美術學系 === 95 === The thesis mainly explores the “avant-garde” characteristics of contemporary art in Taiwan after Martial Law lifted, and targets art criticisms to analyze the development of Taiwanese art in the late Twentieth century.
In the 1980’s, there was a gradual rise of avant-garde in Taiwan’s artworld. The many art exhibitions named “avant-garde” were considered “modern” by art critics. At that time “avant-garde art” was Taiwan’s contemporary art. This new concept of “avant-garde” became prominent in Taiwan’s artworld. However, the term “avant- garde” was coined in Western Europe and the use of the term later extended to America and throughout the world. After some time, the “avant-garde” implicated special features to the Taiwan region.
This article will also take a deeper look at “avant-garde” from the aspect of the Analytic Philosophy theory. It especially emphasizes the “avant-garde” characteristics in art criticisms and discourse. Furthermore, the article is written with a blend of citation analysis, discourse analysis, critical consciousness, and compares the characteristics of European avant-garde art with those of American avant-garde art, to produce this analysis of avant-garde discourse. The article illustrates the concept of avant-garde, a culture of complicated ideologies.
