There are masters such as Chen Cheng-po and Liao Chi-Chun, who were among the first to adopt Western-style painting techniques in Taiwan, and modernist sculptors including Huang Tu-Shui, Paul Tien-Shen, and Wang Shui-Ho. Prominent post-war artists include Yu Peng, Lee Chung-Chung, Chao Chung-Hsiang, and Richard Lin, who are recognised for their abstract ink-wash works and experimentations with ideas of modern Western art.
