The Taiwan Art Exhibition, also referred to as the Taiwan Exhibition, was Taiwan's first large-scale art exhibition. It was held ten times from 1927 to 1936. The organiser was the Taiwan Education Association, a peripheral corporate organisation affiliated with the Cultural and Education Bureau of the Taiwan Governor-General Taiwan under Japanese rule. In 1937, the Government-General of Taiwan was initially expected to hold it. However, it was suspended due to the Lugou Bridge Incident between China and Japan. In 1938, the Taiwan Governor-General's Office held the first round, and six rounds were held by 1943. It's called " Fuzhan " for short.
History
Some initially promoted the original idea of the Taiwan Exhibition to Japanese art teachers and art enthusiasts in Taiwan. It was initially hoped that the private sector would stimulate the exhibition. The magazine "Taiwan Times" then published an article by Tōho Shiotsuki, which mentioned that he, Gobara Koto Kinichiro Ishikawa, and others discussed the preparation for the Taiwan Art Exhibition near Taipei New Park. However, when they reported the matter to the officials, officials told them they wanted the Government House authorities to host the exhibition. Later, the Taiwan Art Exhibition was organised by the Taiwan Education Association. Although it was nominally a private legal person, its prominent members were all crucial officials of the Governor-General's Office. Therefore, the Taiwan Art Exhibition can be regarded as an official exhibition that is representative of the tastes of the colonial authorities. The government's desire to intervene in art exhibitions has important political implications. The Taiwan Education Association hosted the Taiwan Exhibition. It can be seen that for the colonial authorities, the exhibition was an educational tool. Director of Culture and Education Hidehiko Ishida wrote an article before the first Taiwan Exhibition: "Provide hobbies and promote interests for islanders." It can be understood that this is a way to "enhance" the standards and tastes of Taiwanese people. To clarify, it is Some "assimilation" approach. Promoting Japanese tastes and aesthetic concepts through art exhibitions is essential for Taiwanese people to be "trained" to become people the mother country can use. It is also a meaningful way to promote colonial achievements to the world. The exhibition is divided into two departments: the Eastern Painting Department and the Western Painting Department.
Oriental Painting Department
The first session (1927/Showa 2)
Unique selection: Hideo Murakami's " Waiter Lanterns in Keelung."
Examiner: Kinoshita Shizua, Gobara Koto
No inspection: Hagiya Akiharu, Suda Ansu
Many formerly famous painters, such as Cai Xuexi, Lu Tie-Zhou, Li Xueqiao, and Guodao Shuima, were rejected. Only Chen Jin， Lin Yushan, and Guo Xuehu were selected among Taiwanese painters, who were young and unknown at the time. They are known in history as the "Three Young Men of the Taiwan Exhibition." As a result of this phenomenon, examiner Shizua Kinoshita pointed out that among the exhibited works, works such as "portraits with erased brushes," "orchids, bamboos, and Bodhidharma that were casually mentioned," and "copied from "The Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden " " are unacceptable. Selected. He opposed the traditional ink-copying culture of Taiwan's Han cultural system and encouraged the new artistic sketching concept. However, Sherifa believes there are copying elements among the selected works, such as Takatori Yueyang, Isaka Asahi, and even Taiwanese Guo Xuehu. Therefore, the aggrieved painters who were unsuccessful, under the initiative of Nakaji Noro, held an exhibition on the third floor of Taiwan's RiRi Shin Newspaper. I hope to arouse the power of public opinion and fight back against the review results. Among them, Lv Tiezhou's "Hundred Birds" was well received, causing the Taiwan Education Association, which hosted the Taiwan Exhibition, to receive fierce criticism from all walks of life. This year's specially selected " Keelung Water Lanterns " shows Taiwan's local customs, but its formal style is an extension of Japanese ukiyo-e. Others, such as "Cool Evening" by Suda Yasusu and "Dance of a Hundred Butterflies" by Changjiu Changchun, all show the characteristics of Japanese line drawing, delicateness, and heavier application than dyeing.
The second session (1928/Showa 3)
Unique selection: Kuo Xuehu (near Maruyama), Chen Jin (Nobuki)
Examiners: Kinoshita Shizua, Gohara Kotō, Matsubayashi Katsuki
No inspection: Murakami Murakami (Hideo), Gohara Kotomi, Kinoshita Shizua, Matsubayashi Katsuki
Katsura Matsubayashi, a famous Japanese painter from the Maruyama Shijo School of Southern Painting, was invited to serve as a judge. Song Lin encouraged painters to complete vernacular art that genuinely belonged to Taiwan. This point has been repeatedly emphasised in subsequent sessions. Guo Xuehu changed the traditional landscape painting style of the previous session and used glue colour with detailed depictions to present the gorgeous masterpiece "Near Round Mountain." This work inherits the ingenious, full-frame composition and magnificent colouring of the word "Nan Xun De (Chuo) Yue" by Xiang Yuan Gutong from the previous session. "Near Yuanshan" became a trend as soon as it was published, which was also why the "Snow Lake School" was formed in the Taipei painting circle in the future. This year, a large number of Taiwanese painters were selected in the style of sketching. Pan Chunyuan, a folk painter from Tainan, demonstrates his fantastic realism skills in "Seen at the Pasture." Pan did not receive an art education from an academy but had already become famous for his portraiture. Some examples of traditional landscape works have been selected, such as Xu Qinglian's "Eight Prizes Creek."
The third session (1929/Showa 4)
This is a unique selection: Lu Tiezhou's "Plum Blossom," Guo Xuehu's "Spring," and Chen Jin's "Autumn Sound."
Examiners: Kinoshita Shizua, Gohara Kotō, Matsubayashi Katsuki
Unchecked: Chen Jin, Guo Xuehu, Kinoshita Jingya, Xiangyuan Gutong
The painter who attracted the most attention this year was undoubtedly Lu Tiezhou, who was unsuccessful in the first exhibition for his "Hundred Birds" but won praise in the unsuccessful exhibition. Inspired by her failure in the first session, Lu went to Kyoto, Japan, to study painting with the famous painter Fukuda Heihachiro. Her painting style shifted from the original traditional ink to objective and realistic depictions using gelatin. His flower and bird paintings strive for accurate images, but the flowers and leaves have sharp shapes and are flat in a decorative style, and the gradients of painting and dyeing present an idealised sense of order. It strikes a good balance between naturalism and idealism. Guo Xuehu's "Spring" continues the previous subtle style of painting. Guo Xuehu's teacher, Cai Xuexi, had been unsuccessful in the last two sessions, so she decided to put down her body and ask Guo Xuehu for advice. She was also selected with "Autumn Round Mountain" in this session, which became a good talk. Shi Yushan's "The Sacrifice of Chaotian Palace" follows the theme of popular folk activities and has attracted considerable attention for its unique representation of distance and modern things. Lin Yushan's "Zhou Lianxi" is one of the few works that uses traditional ink. In response to the fact that there are fewer and fewer conventional ink paintings, examiner Matsubayashi Katsuki called for the emphasis on the tradition of expressing individuality in Southern painting and to pay attention to the expression of personal personality due to selection considerations.
The 4th session (1930/Showa 5)
Specially Selected Stage Exhibition: Lin Yushan's " Lotus Pond "
Taiwan Exhibition Award: Guo Xuehu " Festival on South Street "
Taiwan Daily Award: Cai Mada's "Sisters Make Om Butterflies"
Unique selection: Chen Jin's "Young Days."
Examiners: Kinoshita Shizua, Gohara Kotō, Katsuda Jiaoqin
No inspection: Lu Tiezhou, Kinoshita Shizuya, Chen Jin, Xiangyuan Gutong, Katsuda Jiaoqin, Guo Xuehu
For Taiwanese Oriental painting, this session symbolises a new stage. First, the exhibition's reward system includes the Taiwan Exhibition Award and the Taiwan Daily Award, in addition to the unique selection. Then, Xiangyuan Gutong proposed the "Taiwan type" and said it was "different from Taiwan type." Regarding the former, Gohara believes: "The Oriental paintings in the Taiwan Exhibition have gradually formed the 'Taiwan Exhibition Type,' which can be commonly seen at the venue. Lin Yushan's "Lotus Pond" and Chen Jin's "Young Days" are two. This stand showcases the orthodox excellence... ." As for the latter, he mainly commented on Cai Mada's "Sisters Nong Om Butterfly": "...the author went to Beijing to study painting, so he stayed away from the Taiwan exhibition style and had a unique style." It can be seen from this that The venue has gradually formed a mainstream artistic style. Gohara's "Taiwan Style" description may be more about emotional expression than stylistic analysis. Because there is not much similarity in style between Lin Yushan's "Lotus Pond" and Chen Jin's "Young Days." The former belongs to the style of Danqing painting in the Song Dynasty, with the addition of gold-plated techniques that are standard in Japanese paintings. The latter is a purely Japanese-style beauty painting. And are these types of paintings really "commonly seen at the venue," as Gohara said? The answer is not necessarily correct, either. Let's look at the content of the paintings in subsequent editions and the interpretation of the term "Taiwan Exhibition Style" by art critics. The delicate painting style of the Xiangyuan-Kuo Xuehu series is the central theme of the Oriental Painting Department of the Taiwan Exhibition. The characteristics of the "Taiwan exhibition type" mentioned by Gohara should include the creative attitude of sketching and the use of bright and flat colours. This year, several masterpieces were handed down from generation to generation. In addition to Lin Yushan's "Lotus Pond," which is in the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts Collection, Guo Xuehu's "South Street Yin Relief" and Xiang Yuan's "Taiwan Mountain and Sea Screen" are also in the collection of Taipei Fine Arts Museum. "South Street Yin Relief" is a representative work of this year's famous folk activities. Guo Xuehu applied his sophisticated painting style to depict the modern urban customs of Dadaocheng, which is quite innovative. The images of abundance and joy reflected in the painting have also attracted the attention of researchers in postcolonial theory. Guo Xuehu's teacher, Cai Xuexi's work "Dragon Boat" for this session is also similar, and its content also deliberately presents the various ethnic groups in Taiwan at that time. Works with unique styles, in addition to "Sisters Nong Om Butterfly" by Cai Mada, "Spring Night" by Xu Qinglian cannot be ignored. This work adopts the "Tang style landscape method," combining the composition and artistic conception of the Chinese Nanzong landscape with the detailed description and patterned shapes of Japanese paintings. This style was uncommon in Taiwan then but more common in Japan. Lu Tiezhou's "Spring in the Forest" is quite similar to "Autumn in the Trees" by Shimomura Kanzan and "Falling Leaves" by Hishida Haruna, both of which are masterpieces from the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition. It is also a unique work.
The fifth session (1931/Showa 6)
Taiwan Exhibition Appreciation: Lu Tiezhou "Back Court," Guo Xuehu "Xin Ji"
Taiwanese Day Appreciation: Huang Jingshan <Flowers>
Examiners: Kinoshita Shizua, Gohara Furuo, Ikegami Hidemu, Yazawa Gengetsu
Unchecked: Lin Yushan, Xiangyuan Gutong, Chishang Xiumu, Chen Jin, Kinoshita Shizuka
Compared with the previous session, the Oriental Painting Department of this session was relatively dull, and the art criticism was less enthusiastic. Lu Tiezhou and Guo Xuehu won the Taiwan Exhibition Award with their consistent style and more mature and sophisticated attitude. Lu Tiezhou's "Back Courtyard" presents Taiwan's native flowers and birds in an ideal form and excellent layout. Guo Xuehu's "Xinji" still uses a dense painting style, but the shape is slightly simplified, and the line drawing is lighter. From the second year to this year, Guo Xuehu has won the grand prize every time. Painters influenced by his style include Cai Xuexi, Cai Wenhua, Cai Yong (Yunyan), Cai Jiuwu (Bingqian), Xie Yonghuo, and Ji Xiuzhen. The so-called "Snow Lake School" has become a force that occupies a place in the Oriental Painting Department of the Taiwan Exhibition. Lin Yushan's "Zhu Luan" has a leisurely, wild charm, significantly contrasting the gorgeous feeling of the previous "Lotus Pond." "The Poet's Flowers Fall" by Cai Mada (Wen Fu) is also a work with a rural feel and captures the momentary dynamics of the characters. Tainan's folk painter system also achieved excellent results this time. Huang Jingshan's "Flower" won the Taiwanese Film Festival, and Pan Chunyuan's "Women" realistically and meticulously depicts the interior layout of the time that blended the earth and the West and the clothing and appearance of a prostitute. The work "Painting Tools" by Pan Chunyuan's son Pan Lishui (Yun (Snow) Mountain) is a realistic still-life painting with a very novel subject matter and strong contemporary characteristics. Zhou Xuefeng, born in Chiayi, has a comfortable atmosphere in "Chaoyue" and is excellent at handling both near and far.
The 6th (1932/Showa 7)
Specially selected exhibitions: Lu Tiezhou's "Castor and Army Chicken" and Lin Yushan's "Sugar Cane."
Unique Taiwan Day Tour: Guo Xuehu "Xun Yuan"
Examiners: Kinoshita Shizua, Gohara Kotō, Yuuki Sumaki, Chen Jin
No inspection: Lu Tiezhou, Chen Jin, Guo Xuehu, Kinoshita Shizua, Xiangyuan Gutong, Yuki Sumaki
Lu Tiezhou's "Castor and Army Chicken" uses his consistent plant depiction style, with an enlarged rooster on the right, making the picture full of surging momentum. Lin Yushan's "Sugar Cane" depicts a hen and chicks walking in a sugar cane garden, continuing the wild style. Guo Xuehu's "Xunyuan" depicts the Lin Family Mansion and Garden, still using a sophisticated painting style. The most prominent feature of this year's exhibition is that many female painters participate in the exhibition, such as Lin Aqin, Zhou Hongchou, Chen Xuejun, Peng Rongmei, Xie Baozhi, and Qiu Jinlian. They are all students from Taipei Municipal Zhongshan Girls High School background and studied under Xiangyuan Gutong. These works are all paintings of single plants. The painting style is very close to Gohara's, using lines to highlight the colour. In addition to "Xun Yuan," other art styles that Gohara also influenced include "Autumn Colors" by Shi Yushan, "Autumn Sunny" by Cai Yunyan, and "Valley Brocade" by Qingmiu Xuejiang. However, in this session, the clever painting style has been attacked by art critics. Comments in Taiwan's Daily Newspaper called it "venue art (works created to cater to the exhibition atmosphere)," "close to the composition of foreign paintings," "huge and densely packed," and named it "Taiwan Exhibition Type." After the term "Taiwan exhibition type" appeared in the fourth edition, it has not only been given a different meaning in this edition. Still, it has also become an adjective with negative connotations in art critics. Art critic Xi Guiyilu pointed out that the Taiwan Exhibition has become rigid and must be reformed; otherwise, many people will be unwilling to participate. In addition to "Xun Yuan," Guoxue Lake has another work, "Morning Fog." This work differs from the sophisticated painting style, focusing on free and easy lines. Lines no longer exist to set off colour surfaces, and leaves are not painted piece by piece. Pan Chunyuan's "Emperor Wu" is a portrait of Guan Gong and Zhou Cang. In the previous sessions, this kind of portrait was considered to be drawn according to the painting manual and was to be eliminated, but this time, it was selected. Japanese painters still have not won significant awards, but several outstanding works have been with unique styles. For example, Murakami Murakami's "Linquan Temple Hill" is flat and sculpted, similar to "Maiko Linquan" created by Tsuchida Makisen in 1924. Yataro Miyata's "Shocking from the Flying Spring" has good light and dark performance and layout. "Deep Mountains" by Autumn Mountains and Spring Waters uses far and near arrangements to create an artistic conception. These works can only be selected but cannot win awards, which shows the narrow aesthetic interest of the exhibition.
The 7th (1933/Showa 8)
Taiwan Exhibition Award: Lu Tiezhou "Southern Kingdom (Garden)"
Special Taiwan Daily Award: Chen Jinghui "Journey"
Specially Selected Asahi Prize: Murakami Murakami "As Seen in Manchuria"
Unique selection: Lin Yushan's "Sunset," Murasawa Setsuko's "Pretending to be a Family Wine," and Fuwa Shuko's "Waterside."
Examiners: Kinoshita Shizua, Gohara Kotō, Yuuki Sumaki, Chen Jin
Starting from this session, the qualification for non-inspection will be abolished, but examiners still have the right to exhibit directly. In addition, this year's Asahi Prize has been added. After six years of competition, a Japanese painter finally won another grand prize this year. Murakami Murakami changed the trend of simplification in the previous edition and won the Asahi Prize for her multi-frame work "Seen in Manchuria" in a realistic style. In contrast, Murasawa Setsuko's "Pretend to Be a Family Sake" is relatively flat in shape, emphasising the expressiveness of lines and full of interest in life. Shuko Fuwa's "Waterside" is an idealised depiction of tropical plants and is a typical Japanese-style flower and bird painting. However, generally speaking, the bold innovations of the previous session are no longer seen. The difference between Han and Japanese styles is very prominent in this session. Opposite to Japanese painters are some traditional ink landscape works. Pan Chunyuan abandoned the solid sculptural style of previous editions and was selected with the traditional ink painting "Dawn Color in a Mountain Village." From now on, he will no longer participate in the Taiwan Exhibition. Zhu Futing's "Harvest in the Rain" is a typical Nanzong painting. Xu Qinglian's "Autumn Mountain Xiaosi" follows his previous "Tang style landscape" with a more assertive Japanese flavour. Still, it is quite different from the performance of Japanese painters in the Taiwan exhibition. Chen Jinghui's "Journey" shows that the Japanese Academy influenced the painter. He painted the activities of urban women in Taiwan, but he abandoned the depiction of street scenes and only used a shallow depth of ground to represent roads. Applying this infinite depth method is a significant feature of classical oriental figure painting. Guo Xuehu's "Loneliness" can be regarded as the most daring work of this year. It also begins his gradual departure from the sophisticated painting style and various artistic experiments. This work is made entirely of ink and combined with the texture of the wallpaper, giving the entire picture a unique atmosphere.
The 8th session (1934/Showa 9)
Specially selected exhibitions include Lu Yunyou's "Pear Shed," Autumn Mountains and Spring Waters, and "Spring in the Stream."
Taiwan Daily Prize: Takanashi Katsuki "Vegetable Garden"
Specially Selected Asahi Prize: Ishimoto Akibo "Portrait of Mother"
Examiners: Matsubayashi Katsura, Gohara Kotō, Kinoshita Shizua, Chen Jin
Since then, the mature style of the Taiwan Exhibition has been almost determined. Lu Tiezhou's "Southern Country," which won the Taiwan Exhibition Award last year, and Chen Jinghui's "Road," which won the Taiwan Japan Award, use presented compositions to express the results of sketching, which is different from Guo Xuehu's style of filling the whole frame with gorgeous style. Lu Yunyou of the Chiayi School of Painting inherited this year's style line and presented the individual plants he sketched in the Huxian Flower Orchard. Katsuhiro Takanashi's "Vegetable Garden" has attracted much attention from the media and art critics. About two-thirds of the painting is left blank, and the trees are drawn with freehand brushwork. Still, the vegetables in the close-up area are scattered one by one. The explicit depiction combines the two opposite styles of Nanhua and Xiaomi. This year, the autumn mountains and spring waters continue the gorgeous style that fills the whole frame, and the trend of clearly presented themes also influences them. What he painted this time was an aboriginal woman with a clay pot on her head, her face visible from the front, deliberately emphasising the deep facial features of the aborigines. In the background are mountain and forest plants, which fill the entire painting in fine detail. Among the works of other famous artists, Guo Xuehu continued his experiments in southern Chinese painting, all based on the expression of ink lines. Chen Jin's "Wild Side" depicts family interactions in the wild. In contrast, Chen Jinghui's "Noodle Making" describes the working conditions of rural farmers, both of which are mature expressions of "local colour." Xiangyuan Gutong continued to create his "Taiwan Mountains and Sea Screen." This time, he used Taiwan's mountains and forests as the subject of his painting. His style was still detailed with pen and ink. It has the name Southern Painting, but it is difficult to say it is Southern Painting. Songlin Guiyue's "Grapes" is composed of ink lines and shading changes, and the painting is sparse and precise, so it can be called a masterpiece of Southern painting. The famous portrait artist Luo Wanmei, who has never participated in the Taiwan Exhibition, also showed off his skills this time. Still, instead of painting figures, he painted tigers, which were very vivid and lifelike. The unique work is undoubtedly Miyata Yataro's "Waiting Night Grass." This work depicts the scene of prostitutes soliciting customers in the market. It is a subject that does not often appear in Eastern paintings. The shape adopts a hazy outline to enhance the romantic and eerie atmosphere of the picture.
The 9th (1935/Showa 10)
Specially selected exhibitions: Autumn Mountains and Spring Waters (Culture of Grass), Huang Shuiwen (Sea Lemon Fruit)
Taiwan Daily Prize: Lu Tiezhou "Cade"
Morning View: Guoxue Lake "Junke Boat"
Special selection: Murakami Murakami "Mount Flagtail"
Examiners: Araki Jumu, Kawasaki Xiaohu, Gohara Furuto
This Taiwan Exhibition was held together with the Taiwan Expo, so many painters created works that fit the occasion, and these works attracted more attention.
Nomura Seizuki's "New Seimei" takes the newly renovated Meiji Bridge as the scene. Women are strolling with umbrellas, and men are taking photos with cameras, presenting an image of prosperity and progress. The background is the Taiwan Shrine on Round Mountain, representing that Taiwan has become a place successfully ruled by the Emperor of Japan. This work is representative of Taiwan's achievements under Japanese rule. Works that express modern imagery include "Mandolin" by Shirako Shujiro, "Gas Station" by Eikawa Shiqing, "Qingsheng" by Chen Yongsen, "Accordion" by Chen Jin, and "Portrait of a Teacher" by Ishimoto Akibo. These works were not necessarily designed to cater to the atmosphere of the Taiwan Expo. Such modern themes were also popular in official exhibitions in mainland Japan at the time, and the artists at the Taiwan Exhibition may have imitated them. Qiu Shan Chun Shui uses the aboriginal grass as a creative theme, which may also be in response to the considerations of the Taiwan Expo. The painting takes the legendary activities of the Indigenous people who had disappeared at that time (but not long ago, the Musha Incident still exists in people's memory) as the theme and deliberately shows the muscular physique of the Indigenous people, which can be said to be a flattening of the Japanese towards the Indigenous people. The impression is presented. This effect can also be seen in the "Junke Boat" in Guoxue Lake. This type of sailing ship is also one of the impressions of Taiwan for the Japanese, and the painter does not treat it as part of the landscape, but the entire boat fills the whole frame, presenting the details of the ship one by one, like a model drawing. Among the other essential works, Huang Shuiwen's works continue the style of the previous artist, Lu Yunyou, and are also botanical sketches of the Chiayi School. The theme of "Taiwan Mountain and Sea Screen" by Xiangyuan Ancient Tradition is the rapids of Taroko. Yataro Miyata's "The Story of a Girl with a Fan" is based on Haruo Sato's novel. Due to his interest in illustrations and prints, his works have begun to be combined with literature, and the color of romanticism has become increasingly intense.
The 10th session (1936/Showa 11)
Extraordinary selections: Zhang Qiuhe's "Slanted Photo," Maruyama Fukuta's "Little Haru."
Taiwan Daily Prize: Setsuko Murasawa "Lv Yin"
Specially Selected Asahi Prize: Takanashi Katsuhiro "Bamboo Forest House"
Unique selection: Yataro Miyata "Mo Chou," Chen Jinghui "Aftermath"
Examiners: Soaki Yuuki, Yuichi Murashima, Shizua Kinoshita
Xiangyuan Gutong, a celebrant in Taiwan's Oriental painting circles, left Taiwan and returned to Japan in March of this year so that this Taiwan Exhibition can be regarded as the beginning of a new stage. Compared with Gohara, who teaches at the Taipei Municipal Zhongshan Girls High School and organizes several folk painting groups, Kinoshita Shizua's authority in Oriental painting is slightly lower. Zhang Qiuhe, who later changed his name to Li Qiuhe, won the highest honour in the special selection stage with his paintings of flowers and birds that filled the whole frame. So far, three Chiayi painters (Lu Yunyou, Huang Shuiwen, and Zhang Qiuhe) have won this honour for three consecutive years. The image of "Chiayi as the capital of painting" established by various painting schools during the Japanese occupation can be said to be established. Takanashi Katsuto's rural countryside is still densely realistic in the close-up and straightforward in the distant view, which was well received then. Guo Xuehu's "Wind Wave" is beginning to show a trend of plasticity, especially his use of eye-catching lines to enhance this impression. Lu Tiezhou's "Village House" was his experiment in landscape painting, and the plants placed in the landscape were not yet ideal. Modern themes are still quite popular. For example, Chen Jin's "Music Score," Lin Yushan's "Chao," Nomura Senzuki's "Autumn Melody," Xie Yonghuo's "Coke Kiln," etc., all express modern life and symbols. The then-journalist Koichi Nomura praised Chen Jin's work, writing "On Chen Jin" for it. Yataro Miyata, who has been continuously selected since the first Taiwan Exhibition and often presents unique works, finally received a special honour. Compared with his previous selected works, the depiction of the characters in his "Mo Chou" this time is more incorrect. The woman's body in the painting is elongated, too thin, and slightly awkward, which is closer to the dramatic, romantic, and decadent expressions in literary illustrations. A congratulatory party for the Taiwan Exhibition was held on November 3 to commemorate the tenth anniversary, mainly to commend the painters selected for the ten Taiwan Exhibitions. The recipients of this commendation from the Oriental Painting Department are Chen Jin, Lin Yushan, Guo Xuehu, Hideo Murakami, and Yataro Miyata.
