This catalogue was published in conjunction with a solo exhibition of ink paintings by Ho Huai-shuo (b. 1941) held at National Museum of History in 1999. The exhibition featured works from the 1990s, introducing his art development after the solo exhibition at Taipei Fine Arts Museum in 1990.
'My painting is a visual composition of a succession of personal inner images. I utilize realistic way to describe the most secret and abstract activities of the mind. You may call it "fantasy realism" -- using visual ideology to express a metaphor or a symbol. This is an obvious feature in my painting during the last ten years.' (excerpt from the artist statement in the present catalogue)
A preface by Huang Kuang-nan, the director of National Museum of History. Brief introduction of the artist including biography and a publication list in both Chinese and English at the back of the book.
