Sunday morning we went to the coastal city of Kaohsiung, about 40 minutes from Tainan, for a visit to the Fine Arts Museum. It's Taiwan's newest and largest. There was a big show of the work of Josef Albers, of the Bauhaus (top right). In addition to his homages to the square, many early drawings, Bauhaus furniture, and color studies.
There was also a retrospective of the modernist painter, Richard Lin (below, top), who was born in Taiwan, spent many years in the UK, then returned to Taiwan (a contemporary of the sino-italo painter Hsiao Chin); and photographs of the Russian artist Leonid Tishkov's series, My Private Moon (below, bottom). There was a moon installation in a pavilion in the park next to the museum but no time to see it. For more on museum and artists, see links, left.
