Rhapsody in Green
In 1924, when George Gershwin created his Rhapsody in Blue, Huang Tu-Shui, (1895-1930), the first modernist Taiwanese artist, cast his bronze In the Outskirts depicting an ox and cranes, a common view in Southern Asian rice fields. The color green, semantically ambiguous in Chinese tradition and absent from the bronze cast, yet obviously implied in Huang's creation, is the departing point of Rhapsody in Green.
This exhibition explores how three contemporary Taiwanese artists, Kao, Tsan-Hsing (1945), Huang, Ming-Chang (1952), and Chou, Yu-Cheng (1976), artistically react to the color green, either taking an optical, an intersubjective, or a conceptual approach, reminding us of its RIGHTful place in our present living environment.
