Title of Thesis: LUO QING’S PAINTINGS OF POST-INDUSTRIAL TAIWAN AND THEIR INCOMPATIBILITY WITH GUOHUA Jen-Yu Wang, Master of Arts, 2010 Thesis directed by: Professor Jason C. Kuo Department of Art History and Archaeology This thesis examines the career and artwork of Luo Qing in the context of past artistic movements and current academic discourse. Using Luo Qing and his work as a point of departure, this thesis aims to combine diachronic and synchronic concerns in the arts, specifically art that is made in the medium of ink. Luo Qing is famous for his inventive style in poetry and ink paintings. The two bodies of work selected, Here Comes the UFO 不明飞行物来了 and Asphalt Road 柏油 路, not only exemplify his creative spirit in redefining ink art, they also establish him as a member of the modern Chinese literati, a scholar artist, in Taiwan. Both series were Luo’s ongoing projects in the 1980s and the 1990s. A conflict between the traditional and the new was present in Chinese politics and culture at the time, and this tension affected the creative community. The dynamics between Chinese imperial history and modern Chinese industry is the subject of most of Luo’s work. He creatively portrayed conflicts
