SPECIAL ART CONTRIBUTION AWARD LAUREATE

Shih Chiao Li 李石樵

 

Mr. Li was born in Hsing Chuang, Taipei Hsieh in 1908. He graduated from Taipei Normal School and from Tokyo Fine Art College, Japan. He was a founder of the Taiyang Fine Art Association during Japanese occupation, and served as an evaluator of the National Painting Exhibition, Provincial Painting Exhibition and Wu San Liang Culture and Education Foundation. He established his own foundation, "Li Shih Chiao Fine Art Foundation" and served as its chairman since.

Special Achievement

Mr. Li was a rigorous and productive oil painter. His oil paintings garnered prizes seven times in the Japanese Imperial Painting Exhibition. He stubbornly refused to leave wealth to his children and donated over 500 paintings of his own to the "Li Shih Chiao Fine Art Museum" so that the general public of Taiwan could share and enjoy his creations. His selflessness and his great personality should be remembered.
