Li Meishu Memorial Hall Lake Okutami

art analysis This is Li Meishu's Japanese landscape creation in his later years. Lake Okutami is located at the junction of Niigata, Gunma and Fukushima in Japan. Lake Okutami is the first man-made lake in Japan. The lake surface reflects the surrounding mountains and the beauty of the four seasons. The color changes depending on the season. It is especially beautiful during the season when the maples are red. To describe it, "the lakes and mountains are so beautiful," is the most appropriate way to describe it. Li Meishu is a giant of Taiwan's rural realism. "Okujijian Lake" is a work he made in his later years, when he was 79 years old. His skill in sketching and realism can be seen as average. You can take a look at the strong light and shadow performance, the sparkling lake surface, and the natural and delicate depiction, which enriches the viewer's visual enjoyment and spiritual feelings. "Okutami Lake" partly adopts the technique of color mixing on the screen. The orange maple tree in the center of the screen and the beige mountain wall have a high chroma. The expression of brightness and tone has a visual focusing effect. The performance of the reflection on the lake is smooth, vivid and successful. The surface of the lake shines with beautiful impressions of life. The beauty of nature gave Li Meishu a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere in his later years.

He was deeply influenced by Western painting and the idea of learning painting arose spontaneously. His early paintings, "Still Life" in 1927 and "Three Gorges Backstreets" in 1928, were selected for the first and second Taiwan Exhibitions. In 1928, he went to Tokyo and studied painting at three painting institutes: Kawabata, Tongzhou Society and Hongo. The following year, he passed the entrance examination for Tokyo Art School (the predecessor of Tokyo University of the Arts). He studied under the masters of painting, Kotaro Nagahara, Mango Kobayashi and Saburosuke Okada, etc., laying a solid foundation for his subsequent realistic style. In 1934, he co-founded the Taiyang Art Association with his friends Chen Chengbo, Yan Shuilong, Yang Sanlang, Liao Jichun, Chen Qingfen, Li Shiqiao and Tateishi Tiechen. In 1935, "The Napping Girl" won the first place in the special selection of the 9th Taiwan Exhibition and was awarded the "Taiwan Governor's Award". In 1939, "Red Clothes" was selected for the Third Cultural Exhibition (formerly the Japanese Imperial Exhibition). In 1940, "Flowers and Girls" was selected for the 4th Cultural Exhibition (Fengzhu Exhibition), establishing his historical status as an outstanding Western artist in Taiwan. In 1946, he applied to be a member of the review committee of the first provincial exhibition. The exhibition "Sunday" was purchased by the provincial government and presented to President Chiang Kai-shek. Large-scale paintings such as "Dusk" and "Outing" in 1948 are regarded as representative works. After Taiwan was regained in 1945, In addition to being involved in the local politics of the Three Gorges, in 1947 he was elected to preside over the reconstruction of the Changfuyan Qingshui Patriarch Temple. Since then, the subject matter and style of his paintings have increasingly tended to be rural realism, reflecting his unique style and his demeanor that stands out from the crowd. After 1962, he successively served as art professor and director at the Cultural University, National Art College, and Normal University. Guiding art college and other sculpture students to participate in the metal relief project of the Three Gorges Ancestral Temple. Integrating the professional skills of the academy into the practice of traditional temple architecture is a pioneering work in the history of Taiwanese art education. Professor Li's contribution to the promotion of art education, in addition to the formal education in the college, he also guided many traditional wood and stone carvers hired by the Patriarch's Temple with rigorous and exquisite aesthetic qualities, making the Patriarch's Temple a "palace of oriental art" with exquisite sculptures ", and is a classic masterpiece of modern temple architecture in Taiwan. In his later years, he was elected by the art circle to hold lofty positions such as Chairman of the Oil Painting Society, Chairman of the Artists Association, and Honorary Chairman of the Oil Painting Society.
