Exhibited Revolution/ Renaissance : The Art of Liu Kuo-sung, National Museum of History, Taipei, November 2014Exhibition of Liu Kuo-sung Contemporary Ink Painting Collection, Cheng Shiu University, Kaohsiung, October 2015 Post lot text This year, 2022, we celebrate the 90th birthday of Modern ink master Liu Kuo- sung and his long and distinguished career, dedication and contribution to the art community in Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and beyond. Born in 1932 with ancestry in Shandong, Liu arrived in Taiwan as a young man in 1949. He studied at the Fine Arts Department at the Taiwan Normal University under Pu Ru and Huang Junbi, graduating in 1956. The ambitious young artist founded Fifth Moon Group in the same year to promote modern art. Within a year of its foundation, Fifth Moon Group was joined by influential artists such as Chuang Che, Fong Chung-Ray, Chen Ting-shih, Sun Duoci, Liao Chi-chun and many others. Several years later, in 1963, Liu Kuo-sung was determined to give up oil painting and canvas to refocus his creativity on Chinese ink and paper. To revolutionize the tradition, he made a heavily textured paper which he called Liu Kuo-sung paper and from then created his unique, highly personalized style of Chinese ink paintings.In the next six decades, Liu travelled, taught and lived in the United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and many other countries, each of these places inspired him to create new works and exchange ideas with the artistic community there. His career, distinguished by a few distinct series of work, reflects the diverse experience in his life. To this day, Liu is revered by academics and collectors throughout Asia and beyond and is heralded as the father of contemporary ink art.
