本文旨在從歷史脈絡探討張啓華的創作養成。張啓華，1910 年出生於高雄前鎭區，東京日本美術學校畢業，是目前可考的高雄市首位留日西洋畫家。臺灣光復後，1952 年他與摯友劉啓祥，以及劉清榮、鄭獲義、劉欽麟、林有涔、施亮、陳雪山、李春祥、林天瑞、宋世雄等人創立了「高雄美術硏究會」（簡稱高美會），並於隔年與「台南美術硏究會」（簡稱南美會）及嘉義之「春辰會」、「春萌會」組成「南部美術協會」（即南部展），是早年南部地區的美術發展的重要推手。將畫家生平置於時代脈絡下作觀看，除可追溯畫家的創作養成與歷史環境間的關係外，亦期待藉由不斷進行的田野資料蒐整，爲南部美術活動的軌跡，留下更多可資憑藉與參考的硏究史料。
