To commemorate and to fully present the life of the late renowned Taiwanese artist Walasse Ting, Taipei Fine Arts Museum is holding a retrospective exhibition, with more than 50 precious collections borrowed from his family and 4 huge paintings that have never been showcased before. The majority of Walasse Ting's beautiful, colorful paintings were of women. According to Ting's friend, poet Kuan Kuan, Ting's painting style might have been wild and unrestrained, but he was extremely gentle and caring to the women in his life. Ting also loved to paint animals, including horses and parrots. He suffered a stroke in 2002, and was bedridden in the last few years of his life. However, demand for his paintings remained high, and his pieces continued to fetch high prices in auctions. The Taipei Fine Arts Museum is currently planning a large-scale exhibit of Ting's art, and has arranged to borrow more than 50 of Ting's pieces from his family for the exhibit. Four of the pieces are more than ten meters long, and they will be displayed together on the four walls of an exhibition room. Ting created the four pieces in his later years, and they have never been exhibited before. ◆ 追蹤更多華視影音及圖文新聞: 1.用Plurk追蹤華視影音及圖文新聞:追蹤 2.用Twitter追蹤華視影音及圖文新聞:追蹤
