新妝半舊——吳友如的仕女畫 New and Old Fashions: Wu Youru’s Paintings of Women

Description

晚清畫家吳友如（一八九四年卒）因繪製《點石齋畫報》中的時事新聞畫而蜚聲後世。同時，他所創作的仕女畫亦頗引人注目。一般觀點認為，吳友如所畫的女性是上海妓女的形象。本講座擬以魯迅對吳友如畫中時裝仕女的偏見為切入點，重新梳理畫史中對吳友如的評價，進而探究晚清至民國時期的女性圖像文化。本講座將聚焦於吳友如所畫的時裝仕女，及其作品在民國時期的傳播，藉此剖析吳友如對仕女畫這一畫科的貢獻。
The late Qing dynasty artist Wu Youru (d. 1894) gained posthumous recognition, particularly for his illustrations of current events featured in the Dianshizhai Pictorial. His portrayals of female figures, often associated with Shanghai courtesans, have also garnered significant attention. This lecture begins by examining Lu Xun’s biased perspective on these depictions to reassess Wu Youru’s reception within art history and to explore the print culture surrounding women during the late Qing and Republican periods. By focusing on Wu’s representation of fashionable women and the dissemination of his works during the Republican era, the lecture investigates his contributions to the genre of female figure painting.
