In June, 1931, the Taiwanese Bei-Yuan Wang (1902-1965) published his first personal poetry anthology in Japan, called The Road of Thorns, where he built an art world, a fictitious Utopia, contrasting to the reality. The creation has much to do with his prior experience, the transference 'from art to literature.' Wang came to Tokyo in 1923, originally intending to fulfill an artist dream to become 'the Millet of Taiwan,' but due to the staleness of Japanese Art and the suppression of Taiwanese people under the colonized system at the time, Wang began to think and deliver human emotions and the truth of art through poems. By integrating the influence from Tagore, Millet, Van Gogh, Rousseau, and Gauguin, Wang used poems in replace of paintings and established an art world filled with peace, happiness, fusion, and meanings of life. His poetry revealed the thinking of an artist who did not want to compromise with the reality and the difficulty with the lost, frustration, and hopeless which the intellectuals in 1920s and 1930s were facing.
