Campus of Changrong Girls' High School/ Chen Cheng-po/ 1941/ Canvas/ Oil Painting/ Collection of Chen's Family Members, Tan Teng-pho, 1941
The style with taiwanese urban characteristics that chen chengbo wanted to create was finally implemented in the small town of tamsui. The winding path in the picture is full of vitality. There are rows of buildings along both sides of the road. Chinese and western coexist, old and new, and an invisible vitality is ready to emerge. Chen chengbo stacks various houses like building blocks to create a layered space, and the characters walking on the paths are like shrunken dolls, bringing out dramatic narrative interest. The dominant red tone also conveys a sense of warmth familiar from his work. Object Type: painting. Date: 1941. Medium: canvas oil painting. Chen Chengpo 1941c
