Chiayi in Painting

"Children's Amusement Park", 1946
Even though only photos in black and white have survived, in the scene, the bygone days' amusement park arched entrance and ticket booth to the right, as well as visitors walking hand in hand can still be seen clearly. In Tan Ting-pho's works, the people are often shown in pairs of father and son or mother and son, expressing the artist's interest in parent-child themes. After the war, this painting was sold to the Minister of Education of that time at the first provincial exhibition. Its subsequent whereabouts are unknown. Perhaps this artwork is still hidden somewhere in Taiwan, waiting for the day of its re-discovery.
