Synopsis

Overturn the Centre offers an insight into the life and inner thoughts of Liu Kuo-sung, one of the most important artists in the history of Chinese art. Liu is a pioneering figure in the global discourse of modern and contemporary ink painting, a fierce advocate for the modernisation of Chinese painting and a seminal innovator who charted the course of the modernist avant-garde in Taiwan. This volume is a record of interviews conducted over several months in Taiwan in 2021, in which Liu Kuo-sung and Rudy Tseng discussed Chinese painting, global modernism, Taiwan’s critical role in developments, and the story of Liu Kuo-sung’s life. It combines art theory with informal observations on a successful life of art, teaching and global travel.
