The Ton Fan Group<\/strong> was established in 1956. This group of painters \u2014 the pupils of Lee Chun-Shan (1912\u20131984) \u2014 held its first exhibition in November 1957 in the building that housed the Taiwan Shin Sheng Daily News.<\/p>\n

The name \u2018Ton Fan\u2019, which means \u2018East<\/strong>\u2019 or \u2018the Orient\u2019 in Chinese, was intended to express a desire to adhere to Eastern culture. The artists who participated in this first exhibition were described as \u2018the Mounted Highwaymen\u2019 by the columnist Ho Fan (1910\u20132002), as a way of highlighting their intrepid approach.<\/p>\n

From the outset, the Ton Fan Group<\/strong> adopted an avant-garde approach that was orientated exclusively towards abstraction. They exhibited their works in Taipei and on many occasions in Europe; the continent influenced many of them, who settled there in the wake of Hsiao Chin. They also held exhibitions involving European artists in Taipei, where the works of artists such as Lucio Fontana, Fran\u00e7ois Morellet, Piero Manzonni, and Antoni Tapies were displayed.<\/p>\n

In addition, they had many contacts with circles of modern poets, with whom they exchanged poetry.<\/p>\n

The Ton Fan Group was dissolved after their fifteenth exhibition, in 1971.<\/p>\n

However, the Group\u2019s members perpetuated its precepts via the establishment of Lee Chun-Shan\u2019s foundation, who became the spiritual guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
