Master Max Liu
My portrait done by Master Max Liu
Master Max Liu is a great artist in the modern Taiwan art history. His style of painting is simple and direct. Looking at his painting, you would feel as if you are looking at a cheerful child playing. Your heart will fill with joy!
I was so grateful that I had the opportunity to learn with him in the early 80s, when I was taking my diploma course at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore. Master Max Liu was a visiting artist then, and taught us water colour painting for a short while. I was so lucky that he had chosen me as the model of portrait painting class, and painted my portrait.
As a teacher, Master Max Liu was extremely approachable, knowledgeable and sometimes witty and playful. He was over 60s then, but still behave as a curious youngster. He had no problem communicating with youngsters in the class. Everyone enjoyed his teaching, and learned a lots from his water colour painting skills. Until these days, I still missed him for his gentle way of teaching and wealth of knowledge in painting.
Details of Master Max Liu could be found at the following website, but it is in Chinese, as he is from Taiwan:
