百年跨世紀的交替，總會讓人省思土地的生活點滴。觀看近年回顧文化藝術的策展專題不斷，內容涵蓋有：藝術家百年紀念展、美術史脈絡探尋或展覽發展回顧等。特別的是國立台灣美術館出版《台灣美展80 年（1927-2006）》1 及台灣創價學會出版之《日治時期台灣官辦美展圖錄與論文集》2 等，探討展覽會對藝術家及文化發展的關連性，啟動了筆者查閱《台灣日日新報》，有關1927～36 年的「台灣美術展覽會」及1938～43 年的「總督府美術展覽會」之報導資料，發現台灣首次的官辦美展所面對的問題，並非推廣藝術交流及創作者獲得榮耀而已，所涉及的美術行政事務相當繁多，在無任何前例經驗的帶領下，所有的措施都不斷的修正，這考驗著主辦者、創作者、評審者與觀者的共識，也與今日美術展覽會所面臨的問題有相似之處。本文主要參閱《台灣日日新報》為日治時期最具影響力的報紙，也因有官方股份的介入推廣，成為台（府）展重要訊息來源3；從報導中分析有關台（府）展所發生的展覽事件，做為研究論述之軸線，以期探討當時美術行政之種種問題，並提供現今美術展覽會的參酌。

A turn of a century has always caused people to reflect on every aspect of life on this earth. In recent years, many exhibitions have been curated to give a retrospective look into art and culture, including artist centennial retrospective exhibitions, exploration of contexts of art history, retrospective exhibitions of art exhibition development, etc. In particular, the 80 Years of Taiwan Art Exhibition published by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and the Catalog and Essays of the Official Fine Arts Exhibition in Taiwan During the Japanese Occupation published by Taiwan Soka Association explore the effects that exhibitions have on the development of artists and culture. This has prompted the author to search through archives of Taiwan Nichinichi Shimpo (Taiwan Daily Newspaper) for reports related to the 1927~1936 Taiden (Taiwan Art Exhibition) and the 1938~1943 Fuden (Taiwan Governor-General’s Art Exhibition). In these reports, the author discovers that the problems faced by the Taiwan’s first government-organized fine arts exhibition were not just related to the promotion of artistic exchange and the proper accordance of credit to the artists. There was also a considerable range of matters involving art administration that are similar to the problems that art exhibitions deal with today. Even more, the first government-organized exhibition was a large-scale exhibition led by individuals who did not hold any previous art administration experience. All of its measures were continuously being revised as they tested the consensus of organizers, artists, jurors, and viewers. This paper mainly refers sources from Taiwan Nichinichi Shimpo, which was the most influential newspaper during the Japanese Colonial Period. With the involvement of government shares, it became an important source of information for Taiden and Fuden.Reports on events that occurred during Taiden and Fuden are analyzed and utilized as the axis for research and discussion. With this information, various problems in the art administration o that time are explored, providing reference for fine arts exhibitions today.
