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.

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."
