A Retrospective of Prof. CHOU Ying
From June 16 to 21, 2015, Basel Confucius Institute will exhibit selected artworks of Professor CHOU Ying (1922-2011). Born in Fujian, Prof. CHOU was a widely acclaimed print artist and established art educator. During his long and distinguished career, Prof. CHOU devoted himself to both art creation and education. He cultivated and mentored innumerable young talents over and beyond four decades of his teaching career and influenced the development of Taiwan contemporary art.
