Chuang Shih-ho (Chinese: 莊世和; December 12, 1923 – November 18, 2020) was a Taiwanese painter.[1][2][3]
Life
[edit]Born in Tainan on 12 December 1923, his family moved to Pingtung when he was a child.[1] In 1938, he went to Japan to study painting at the Kawabata School of Painting, and in 1940 he entered the Painting Department of the Tokyo School of Fine Arts.[1] During his studies in Japan, he was exposed to avant-garde art such as Cubism, Dadaism, and Surrealism, as well as modernist ideas such as Bauhaus style.[2]
After his return to Taiwan in 1946, he joined Ho Tieh-hua’s “New Art Movement of Free China” and became one of the few Taiwanese artists actively promoting avant-garde and modernist painting in the 1950s.[1]
