Exhibition Profile

Fu Baoshi memorial hall is the center for collecting, preserving and studying Fu Baoshi's paintings and materials. In the eyes of the majority of painters at home and abroad, it is also a home of humanistic spirit. In Taiwan, there is always the saying of three stones (Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, Fu Baoshi) and one thousand (Zhang Daqian). Among them, Fu Baoshi is the youngest, but his reputation is not weak. When Fu Ershi arrived in Taiwan in 1993, an old man presented him with a CD recording all the reports about Fu Baoshi that had been broadcast on Taiwan TV for decades, which greatly impressed the first director of Fu Baoshi Memorial.
