Brush up on the past

"Huang was an industrious creator, and thinker. He looked back to the past which empowered him to have insight into the present and future, to enrich the tradition, and to usher his contemporaries into a realm to take Chinese ink art to a new height," Wu says.

The exhibition brings together paintings from the collections of several institutions, Huang's photos and manuscripts, as well as magazines he edited, to show the full extent of his accomplishments.
