Light of the South

Light of the South brings together 47 works from the Taipei Fine Arts Museum collection that are in the public domain under Taiwan's Copyright Act — oil paintings, folding screens, Eastern gouache, ink painting, watercolour and calligraphy made mostly between the 1900s and the 1940s — with 21 virtual loans shown through images the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts has released in its Public Domain section, among them Huang Tu-shui's Water Buffaloes. A prologue, The South, and four chapters — Local Colour; New Ways of Seeing; Island of Watercolour; Brush and Ink — unfold along the route through the two-storey hall. Images follow the files each collection publishes and every data point carries its source.
