Historical Context

Chen Cheng-po, was a Taiwanese painter and politician. In 1926, his oil painting Street of Chiayi was featured in the seventh Teiten in Japan, which was the first time a Taiwanese artist's work could be displayed at the exhibition. Chen devoted his life to education and creation, and was greatly concerned about the development of humanist culture in Taiwan. He was not only devoted to the improvement of his own painting, but also to the promotion of the aesthetic education of the Taiwanese people. He was killed as a result of the February 28 Incident, a 1947 uprising in Taiwan which was repressed by the Kuomintang (KMT).

Memory Realm presents this context for educational discovery and remembrance, with public source links and media attribution preserved alongside the page content.
