Documentary abstract — original language
Japanese colonial governments mobilized painters to depict the landscapes of Taiwan as symbols of the expanse and extent of the Japanese Empire. Taiwanese plant diversity signified economic benefits and exotic imagery that glorified the Empire. Japanese artists trained in Japan played important roles in encouraging botanical paintings in Taiwan by promoting exhibitions where depictions of Taiwanese flora were rewarded. Traditional Japanese bird-and-flower paintings, tan imaginary of “the south,” and the mainstream “exhibition style” from mainland Japan were components of this imperial aesthetic. However, the new modern concept of shasei, or painting directly from firsthand observation, began to push artists in Taiwan toward new modes of expression in their depictions of nature. Although the practice of depicting plants for the annual official exhibition, on the one hand, unavoidably reinforced imperial logics by visualizing the imperial lands and closely adhering to the colonizer’s aesthetics, on the other hand, local artists’ exploration of new subject matters and new species allowed them to challenge the artistic and aesthetic conventions of Japanese-style painting, creating local interpretations and new approaches to the botany of Taiwan.
