| Summary: | 碩士 === 南華大學 === 視覺與媒體藝術學系 === 103 === Taiwan’s history dates back only a few hundred years but in that brief time the island has been controlled and influenced by many foreign powers and cultures. These foreign powers have cultivated the development of the arts in Taiwan but in some ways also obstructed the “self-birth” of Taiwanese Art. That is to say, though there are many artists in Taiwan, there has not been as of yet a style that one can truly call Taiwanese Art. In the 1970’s, Taiwan underwent a surge of social movements one of which the Nativist Movement then fostered the emergence of the Hung Tung wave. The rise and decline of the Hung Tung wave was directly related and dependent on the artist’s own characteristic’s and qualities as well as the culture and media. Using this wave as a case study, this research will discuss the following questions: How Taiwanese Art evolved through changes and transfers in political power? Does imitation of a style provide sustainable development of that style? What were the key factors that led to the rise and decline of the Hung Tung Wave?
Through standard art research methods and a digital representation of the topic and findings, this thesis will show that imitation and plagiarism as well as short term hype do not result in the sustainable development of an artistic style and that lack of cultural background and individual artistic style also hinder any long term artistic development. I suggest that the creator should be thinking the life cycle and sustainable of object. Loyal to the self. Loyal to the original.
