초록
This paper aims to analyze the cartoons and drawings of Chinese female cartoonist, Liang Baibo (梁白波1911?-?) who drew many attractive female characters for various newspapers, popular magazines, and tabloids, maintaining a unique, alternative feminist approach to her drawings. I divide the period in which she was producing works into three - the early, middle, and last periods. At first, she made her debut as a western-style painter in the early 1930s. She soon expanded her drawing skills into cover illustration, comic strips and even to quick sketches while living with Ye Qianyu(叶浅予), an eminent cartoonist. I pay special attention to the “Bee Girl”(蜜蜂小姐), her most successful comic strip. Bee Girl, a young, attractive, yet plucky heroine, challenges many of the male-centered values and conventions of metropolitan 1930's Shanghai. Liang also actively participated in the anti-Japanese cartoonist propaganda campaign, appealing to patriotism and gender equality. Lastly, after leaving Ye in 1938 and settling down in Taiwan, she painted in oils and gouache, baked some pottery, and composed illustrations for newspapers. Although her life was in a constant state of flux, she never stopped putting brush to canvas in an effort to record the desires and everyday lives of Chinese women. For Liang, drawing modernity through the mundane is to search for new political and cultural possibilities from the feminist perspective.
