《良友》畫報及其美術資料研究

Abstract

一九二０年代誕生於上海的《良友》畫報，開啟了中國報刊史嶄新的一頁，突破了過去石版、銅鋅版印刷方式，率先以影寫版印製大型畫報，進步的技術反映在新穎的封面和內頁中，加上多元的內容，使得《良友》甫一推出，便大受好評。《良友》畫報發行時間自1926至1945年，漫長的歲月見證了中國的發展過程，在史料的保存意義上更具意義，當時刊物如雨後春筍般出現在市面上，但往往曇花一現，維持不了多久便停刊，能像《良友》一般持續長達十九年時間的刊物，在動亂的年代中更難能可貴，加上畫報以影像真實地記錄歷史，對於後繼研究者則提供了豐富的材料。《良友》畫報內容包羅萬象，從時事新聞、科技新知、文學藝術及時尚軼事均羅列其中，美術內容正是其主要題材之一，本研究即以此基礎，將172期《良友》畫報裡的美術資料梳理出來，企圖建立一個《良友》畫報的美術資料庫，並從中挑選美術家、美術社團、美術學校、美術展覽四項做分析評論，由於《良友》大量引進西方美術思潮，並致力報導當代中國畫壇的活動現象，藉由資料的整理，試以瞭解民國早期的美術資訊如何傳播，而《良友》畫報做為大眾傳播刊物，又在其中扮演什麼樣的角色。
