    We don’t know much about Taiwanese artists. If his son hadn’t been promoting him, we wouldn’t have known that he was Taiwan’s first sculptor. Three generations of Pu Tiansheng, Pu Haoming and Pu Yijun were selected for the French Salon Award. The bronze statue of the Founding Father in front of the Sun Yat-sen Hall is the work of Pu Tiansheng.

    (Translated by Google) Pu Tiansheng was born in Meijie, Chiayi City; his father Pu Ying was engaged in mounting painting and was good at drawing portrait paintings, and his grandfather was a painter and Buddha engraver. In his father's shop, he became interested in painting and began to describe customers as his objects. In 1919, he entered Yuchuan Public School (now the predecessor of Chongwen Elementary School in Eastern District, Chiayi City); during this period, he was taught by Chen Chengbo and inspired his talent for artistic creation. At the age of 14, he won the first prize of the Hsinchu Art Exhibition with his work "Cockfighting". At the same time, he has always hoped that he can go to Japan to study like his neighbor Lin Yushan, but he has been unable to achieve this because of the family's financial situation. In 1928, he teamed up with Lin Yushan and other painters to form the "Chun Meng Painting Academy". At the age of 20, Pu Tiansheng took advantage of the opportunity to collect the balance of the painting business for his father and went to Keelung and boarded a steamer to Japan. In 1931, he began to specialize in drawing at the Tokyo Kawabata School of Painting (Japanese: Kawabata School of Painting). In the long days after arriving in Japan, he has been relying on sporadic part-time job opportunities and remittances from his father and brother from time to time to make a living. In 1932, he was admitted to the glue color painting department of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts and then transferred to the sculpture department. In 1934, he was transferred from the Imperial Art School to the private school of sculptor Fumio Asakura (Japanese: Fumio Asakura); under his strict teaching, he developed a profound basic ability and correct sculpture concepts, including training in observation and memory , And the spirit of seeking creative inspiration from nature. In 1939, he married Chen Ziwei, the eldest daughter of Chen Chengbo, as his wife. [In 1940, he was selected into the Exhibition of Prince Shotoku's Praise for His Sculpture "Sea People". Afterwards, he decided to return to Taiwan to organize the Taiyang Fine Arts Association with Yang Sanlang and others, and set up a sculpture department under it. At the age of 30, he returned to Taiwan from Japan, and was recommended by his father-in-law Chen Chengbo to take over his first job: making a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen and a military uniform of Jiang Zhongzheng; it happened that Fumio Asakura presented him with more than ten photos of Sun Yat-sen before he returned to Taiwan. He also urged him to keep it properly. Subsequently, with the help of these photos and his relatives and friends, he successfully completed the bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen (later placed on the northeast side of Taipei Zhongshan Hall Plaza). In 1946, he insisted not to wear a military cap when he made the "Chairman Chiang's Armored Portrait" in order to convey his spirit through his head shape and avoid unnecessary disputes and political risks through communication. At the age of 35, he introduced copper casting technology to Taiwan from Japan and established a copper casting factory. From 1949, he taught at the Sculpture Workshop of the Taiwan Provincial Department of Education until 1979. In 1971, he was asked to wear a military cap when making Jiang Zhongzheng's figure, otherwise the authorities would not accept it. In 1982, he created the work "Sunshine" using a French woman as a model; however, the work was not only not accepted by the organizer of the National Art Exhibition (exhibition location is the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall), its modeling also triggered whether it was pornographic dispute. In 1983 and 1984, at the suggestion of his son Pu Haoming, his works "The Poet" (in memory of Lu Xun) "Slim and Jade", "Remembrance", etc. were sent to the Paris Salon Art Exhibition (English: Salon (Paris)) for selection and Selected one by one. In 1988, he was inspired by the women's gymnastics performance at the Seoul Olympics and created ten "Sports Series" works. In 1993, he accepted the invitation of Lee Teng-hui (the President of the Republic of China at the time) to create a commemorative bronze statue of Lin Jingjuan, a teacher of a health kindergarten. This work is one of the last works. He often suffered cramps or lost physical strength due to cancer during the creation process. [5] At the end of May 1996, he died of gastric cancer in National Taiwan University Hospital shortly after finishing the work. In addition, he has served as a judge for many decades in fine arts exhibitions in Taiwan Province.

    Full of harvest, behind art is the process of struggle, allowing younger generations to understand what history looks like, and art education is the lubricant that brings people closer together.

    The curator’s patient introduction taught both adults and children a valuable lesson! It is worth letting children understand the story behind the bronze sculpture.

    I often pass by Shandao Temple, but I didn’t know there was such a temple, because it is really low-key and has an unremarkable appearance. Pu Tiansheng is a famous sculpture master in Taiwan's history. He is the second sculptor to study in Japan after Huang Tushui. He later married Chen Chengbo's daughter. His works are mainly commemorative sculptures of celebrities, which are erected in important parks and landscapes across Taiwan. Image source: Du Jieping

    It is recommended to visit the Pu Tiansheng Sculpture Memorial Hall, which is a Japanese-style wooden building with a history of more than 80 years. This special place was carefully built by Mr. Pu Tiansheng’s descendants to commemorate his dedication to art, including residence, studio and exhibition area. Showcasing the artist's lifetime achievements. This is also a place for introductory education, providing citizens with the opportunity to appreciate art. They can appreciate Pu Tiansheng's sculptures in the sculpture display area, enter the work exhibition hall to learn more about his artistic style, and appreciate his creations through the art corridor. History is a special place that allows you to experience Pu Tiansheng’s artistic world up close. If you are interested in art, this is definitely a place worth visiting. Remember to make a reservation before visiting~~~

    (Translated by Google) Feeling the spirit of Taiwanese sculpture inherited by the descendants of the Pu family, and the life of the works displayed by Pu Tiansheng's effort, the entire memorial hall is a historical testimony of the development of Taiwan's art. (Original) 感受到蒲家後人傳承台灣雕塑的精神,以及蒲添生用盡心力所展現的作品生命,整個紀念館就是一個台灣藝術發展的歷史見證。
