一、主旨說明

   「前衛藝術」在19世紀成為擺脫、批判舊有學院觀念、具有創新發想與實驗精神的創作思潮，並在20世紀初孕育一波波的主義與流派，其演進歷程既快速且多元。這波浪潮透過文學家、藝術家、留學生的學習或是印刷品、媒體作為媒介傳遞至東亞與東南亞，並在透過藝術家的自我的詮釋與在地性的融合後，不論是藝術理論或是風格方面，這些現代主義繪畫的風貌皆有所轉化。

　　戰爭前後，前衛藝術在東亞與東南亞因政治局勢遭受挫折，至戰後又因各國內部社會氛圍與強權冷戰等世界局勢而另開新篇章。各地藝術家們除了追尋現代主義的繪畫精神外，作品中亦宣揚或隱晦道出生活及社會變遷的憧憬與感慨。同時，相異的藝術流派在各地發揮的影響力亦不盡相同，成為或主流、或少數的現代主義繪畫風格。在一地的藝術史體系中，不同派別的現代主義繪畫究竟扮演何種腳色？在後續的藝術發展中又具備何種意義？值得關照。

　　臺灣藝術發展歷程與東亞、東南亞鄰近諸國互有交織，各地域的現代主義繪畫發展與臺灣之間的交流亦是近年來許多學者開始關注的議題。戰前，前衛藝術透過藝術團體、巡迴展覽等活動映入臺灣在地藝術家的眼簾，然而影響卻有其侷限性。戰後，這股前衛藝術的潛流再次透過出生於中國的藝術家流入臺灣；另一方面，亦有在臺畫家延續戰前對造型美術的追求或是對國際展覽、藝壇的呼應進行創作。此外，隨著國際局勢的轉變，因國際華裔藝術家的交流，也讓當時國人與藝術家窺見東南亞地區的現代藝術風貌。

　　本研討會擬邀請近年來關注此領域之十位國內外學者，並規劃五大議題，內容涵蓋：「超現實主義的東亞在地化與異域經驗」、「現代主義的驅動性—跨媒介與跨文化」、「現代美術理論與知識體系的認知與實踐」、「突破『主義』─藝術家定位的再審視」與「戰前臺灣藝術思潮的回應與互動」。同時邀請日本與臺灣藝術史學者後小路雅弘（北九州市立美術館館長、九州大學名譽教授）、陳貺怡（國立臺灣美術館館長、國立臺灣藝術大學教授）分別針對亞洲與歐洲的現代主義思潮進行專題講座。本研討會將藉由學者們對東亞至東南亞的前衛藝術研究的探索與視野，進一步審視與反思在臺灣的發展，期待能激發更宏觀的思考脈絡與更多研究方向的可能性。

1. Rationale

In the 19th century, avant-garde art emerged as a creative movement characterized by artistic innovation and a spirit of experimentation, positioning itself in opposition to established academic conventions. By the early 20th century, this movement gave rise to successive artistic movements and stylistic formations, which evolved with notable speed and diversity.

Around the same time, these ideas were transmitted to East and Southeast Asia through the efforts of writers, artists, and overseas students, as well as through print materials and other media. Upon their arrival, they were reinterpreted through the artists’ individual perspectives and integrated into local cultural contexts, resulting in transformations in both the theoretical underpinnings and stylistic expressions of modernist painting.

At the same time, the influence of different artistic movements varied across regions, with some emerging as dominant strands of modernist painting and others remaining at the margins. Within the art historical frameworks of different locales, what roles did these forms of modernism assume? And what significance do they continue to hold in the subsequent trajectory of artistic development? These are questions that warrant closer examination.

The development of Taiwanese art has been closely interwoven with that of neighboring countries in East and Southeast Asia. In recent years, the exchanges between Taiwan and these regions in the development of modernist painting have drawn increasing scholarly attention. In the prewar period, avant-garde art entered the view of Taiwanese artists through artist groups and traveling exhibitions. Although some avant-garde works appeared in official exhibitions, their influence remained limited. After the war, this undercurrent of avant-garde practice once again flowed into Taiwan, this time through artists who had been born in China. At the same time, artists based in Taiwan continued to pursue prewar interests in the plastic arts or created work in response to international exhibitions and art circles. As global political dynamics shifted, various strains of Western modernism exerted a more direct influence on Taiwan. In parallel, exchanges with Chinese diaspora artists offered local audiences and artists glimpses of modernist art in Southeast Asia.

This symposium invites scholars who have engaged with this field in recent years and is organized around five major topics: “East Asian Localization and Distant Land Experiences of Surrealism,” “The Driving Force of Modernism — Cross-Media and Cross-Cultural,” “Understanding and Practicing Modern Art Theory and Knowledge Systems,” “Beyond ‘-Isms’—Reconsidering the Position of the Artist” and “Responses to and Interactions with Prewar Taiwanese Artistic Currents.” In addition, the symposium has invited distinguished art historians Masahiro Ushiroshoji (Director of the Kitakyushu Municipal Museum of Art, Japan and Professor Emeritus at Kyushu University) and Kuang-yi Chen (Director of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and Professor at the National Taiwan University of Arts) to deliver keynote lectures on modernist trends in Asia and Europe, respectively. Through the explorations and perspectives offered by research on avant-garde art across East and Southeast Asia, the conference seeks to further examine and reflect on its development in Taiwan, with the aim of generating broader conceptual frameworks and identifying new directions for future research.
