This retrospective is designed to celebrate the centennial of the birth of Deng Nan- Guang (1907-71), one of the pioneers of Taiwanese modernist photography. The exhibition provides a largely chronological overview of his artistic life, beginning with his first portraits and street scenes, which were strongly influenced by Japan’s “New Photography” movement – part of the Japanese modern art movement of the 1930s – to which Deng was exposed during his overseas studies in Japan from 1929 to 1935. The exhibition also includes examples of the many other stages of his career, up through his nudes and portraits of the 1950s and 1960s, when he was an active and leading figure in the first photography society in Taiwan.
