confucius
the 16th century mughal painter basawan was an early artist who integrated western techniques and perspective into eastern art. when trade opened up between the far east and the west art slowly changed in both sides of the world. for instance, japanese ukiyo-e prints influenced parisian artists. and, jesuit priests, like matteo ricci, brought artwork to china that introduced western approaches for perspective and shading. these factors broadened the way in which nighttime was portrayed everywhere.

night in paintings (eastern art)
throughout the 1960s, international communities had great influence on the art scene in taiwan. western art schools were institutionalised and taught a variety of styles including abstractionalism, new-objectitivism, neoclassicism, cubism, surrealism, expressionism, structuralism, fauvism, symbolism, pop art, minimalism, optical art, and so on. this brought about a revival of the taiwanese nativist art movement, in which wu was extremely influential. in 1964, wu joined the modern print society and began to produce woodblock prints. the artist temporarily abandoned oil painting, as he believed that woodblock printing was a more successful method for capturing the orient's qualities, characteristics and identity. the movement is thought to have emerged in 1949, and was typified by a deliberate rejection of western art techniques that were initially introduced to taiwan by the japanese throughout their colonial rule. furthermore, the movement aimed to portray indigenous taiwanese cultural forms and their relationship to the taiwanese social, economic, cultural and political identity. wu employed nativism in his artwork to exert and explore national taiwanese characteristics, particularly throughout the 1960s and 1970s when the movement was fruitfully revitalised. an example of this can be seen in wu's 1967 woodblock print entitled "playing music" (annex 1).
