Liu Kang (1911-2004) and Ho Ho Ying (1936-) are important painters
in Singapore's art history. But along with their creative
practices, they also played key roles as art writers and critics.
Their opposing positions on modernism and abstraction, and the
debate and discussion generated between them, both shaped and
reflected Singapore's art scene through the 1950s, 60s and 70s and
well into the 1980s. These selected writings, mostly drawn from the
Chinese-language press, and now translated into English, vividly
document important phases in Singapore's art history. The editorial
team of T. K. Sabapathy, and Cheo Chai-Hiang has an unparalleled
understanding of the critical landscape in which Singapore's art
has developed over the years. Cheo's introduction of Liu Kang and
Ho Ho Ying as writers establishes certain key themes in the
relationship between art and criticism in Singapore and Southeast
Asia, with its many artist-writers and artist-critics. Those in
Singapore's art world often assume that they work, write and read
in a critical vacuum, but as this book shows, this conclusion is
far from the truth.
