Art of Kaohsiung 2008: Official Exhibition During the Japanese Colonial Period (美術高雄2008-日治時代競賽篇). Starting in 1927, the Taiwan Art Exhibition (Taiten), later renamed the Taiwan Governor-General's Art Exhibition (Futen), was held annually, with the exception of a one-year suspension in 1937 during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The exhibition lasted for 16 years and played an important role in forming artistic trends, one of which was opening local artists to Western styles of painting. By showcasing the artists' works and documents, this exhibition aims to introduce visitors to outstanding artists in the early period of Taiwan's art history.
