From Fleeting Moments to Timeless Eternity
"Capturing the Moment" delves into the ways artists utilize painting and photography to capture the ephemeral, transforming fleeting reality into enduring art. The exhibition showcases how artists have mastered their chosen mediums across the past century, highlighting the evolution and fusion of these two distinct yet interconnected art forms.
As Susan Sontag eloquently stated, "The painter constructs, the photographer discloses."

In an era saturated with fleeting trends, the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts invites you to engage with the profound and thought-provoking essence of "classics." Through this carefully curated selection of paintings and photographs, the exhibition unveils the cultural contexts that shape artistic expression, encouraging contemplation on the enduring power of art to transcend time.
