南方的美神－「台南美術研究會」之研究（1952-2008）

Abstract

摘要

南方藝壇有一群創作者秉持對藝術熱忱，多年來持續在台南地區協助地方政府進行藝術推廣、教育工作，以有限的資源、人力下默默爲台灣美術貢獻心力。郭柏川等人憑藉一股對藝術的熱情，凝聚南部藝壇人士成立台南美術研究，畫會成員多元豐富的創作風貌、前瞻性的思維，努力在創作形式、風格上融合現代美學理念，重新思索不同於北部觀點的藝術表現，頗有重振南台灣藝壇的企圖心，更在創意、造型、色彩、技法上力求突破，逐漸成為台灣藝術史上另一股力量。

本研究主題「南方的美神－台南美術研究會」主要是以南美會的發展歷程與會員藝術作品和藝術活動為主。論述架構先將南美會從一九五二年至二○○八年間的會史發展劃分為萌芽期、成長期、發展期、轉型期四個階段，探討南美會從籌設、立案到內部組織架構建立的過程，再透過南美會各部風格的分析，深入了解藝術家創作理念與畫會整體特色的關係，最後再與同時代相似成立背景、組織模式的台陽展、中部展、南部展進行比較，藉此重新建構一套完整的台灣美術史。

本研究大致獲得以下結論：

一、南美會有別其他畫會在於從創立至今從未停止運作，二○○八年改名為 「台灣南美會」後，正式由地方性畫會組織躍升為全國性藝術團體。

二、每年的南美展結合西畫、國畫、立體雕塑和攝影四類，以創新多元的風 格、突破性的藝術思維，展現南台灣活潑明亮的特質，打破地方性畫會的 束縛，在全台各地散發璀璨耀眼的光芒。

三、南美會藝術家多來持守創會時的理念，以實際的行動表達對社會環境和 美術教育的重視與反思，在台灣各地孕育出許多耀眼美麗的明珠，共同串 聯出一條光彩奪目值得珍藏的藝術珍珠。Abstract
