| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 人類學研究所 === 102 === The stone carving artist Syu li-sian is analyzed in this study to discuss the following questions: What it means to create a work of art? Where do the inspiration and ideas come from? What is the social context that affects the creation of the art? These questions represent the important relationship of art and social context that distinguishes anthropology from the fine art. In order to achieve this objective, the author has collected data through ethnographic methods, interviews, and personal observation. Working and doing field research with Hsu’s creation, I may observe and understand the ongoing feelings and emotions in the creation process that can’t be known otherwise. In addition, the author throughout the process collects stories behind the creation process and to explore to what extent these things affect the artist’s inspiration and creation.
The author is particularly interested in the distinction in Hus’s personal creation and public art creation. The different experiences of personal creation and public art work creation demonstrate the extent the artist responds the calling of work and the public. Taking examples of art works in both categories, the author discusses the contexts, ideas, creation processes, and differences behind the two types of art. I will show that the artist has made efforts expressing such themes as self, society, and the value of art by creating the two types of art.
