This catalogue was published on the occasion of the travelling solo exhibition of Liu Kang during 2000-2001. Born in Fujian, China in 1911, Liu Kang spent his formative years in Malaya, studied art in Shanghai and Paris, and taught art in Shanghai in the thick of the Chinese modern art movement. He returned to Malaya in 1937 and moved to Singapore in 1942 where he was regarded as a founder of the modern art movement as well as an acute commentator of diasporic Chinese art and culture.
The present catalogue brings us through the various periods of the artistic journey of Liu Kang, which are listed below:
I. A Gentleman in Paris (1928 to 1933)
II. First Homecoming (1933 to 1937)
III. War & Destiny (1937 to 1953)
IV. In Search of The South Seas (1953 to 1957)
V. Beyond Bali (1957 to the 1970s)
VI. His Golden Years (1980s to the present)
VII. Pastel Works Selected By The Artist
