Abstract
"Throughout art history, laborers are often depicted realistically and with methods that convey humanitarian beliefs. The adversity of the life of laborers is portrayed through the paintbrushes of western masters such as Millet, Rouault, Daumier, and Van Gogh, who are known for giving luminosity to the dignity of laborers. In the art history of Taiwan, Hung Jui-lin is the pioneer in depicting the theme and is dubbed the 'mining painter' and 'humanitarian painter'. Hung dedicated his entire life to portraying miners and holds an important place in the art history of Taiwan due to his outstanding sketching abilities and mastery of realism."-- Page 18, curatorial essay.
