Eestablished by Professor Hu Nian-Zu in 1998, Taiwan Ink and Wash Painting Association is the very first art group that aims for localization. Its objectives remain the same which are to search for new possibilities for creating ink and wash paintings and creating ink and wash paintings by applying traditional skills with new ideas in spite of the constant changes and diversity of the art circle; its members include old, middle-aged and young members and hopefully the art will be passed down to future generations and become timeless.
