Life
Early life and education
Huang Kuang-nan was born on February 15, 1944, in Niaosong Township, Kaohsiung County, Taiwan (now part of Kaohsiung City). He grew up in a farming family and attended Kaohsiung County Little Harbor Junior High School (now Kaohsiung Municipal Xiaogang Junior High School). In his third year of junior high school (1960), he was inspired by the substitute art teacher, Jiang Ching-rong (1922-2015), to begin learning ink-wash painting.[1][2]
Huang was admitted to the regular program at the Provincial Pingtung Normal School (now National Pingtung University of Education) in 1960 and was taught by Pai Hsueh-hen (1919-1971). After graduating from the normal school in 1963, Huang was assigned to Dingjin Elementary School in Kaohsiung City to teach.[1] Three years later, in 1966, he passed the entrance exam to the Department of Fine Arts at the National Taiwan Academy of Arts (now National Taiwan University of Arts),[3] where he studied under Li Meishu, Fu Chuan-fu, Jin Chin-bo, Shi Tsui-feng, Lin Shu-yao, and other artists.[4] During this time, his understanding of painting theory, techniques, and creative concepts expanded and improved.
Career
Huang graduated from the National Taiwan Academy of Arts in 1969 and began teaching at Shoushan Junior High School in Kaohsiung City the following year. In 1972, he transferred to the Pingtung Teacher's College, where he taught until 1985, when he embarked on a career in cultural administration.[1] Huang also studied at the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Kaohsiung Normal College (1977-1981) and the Graduate Institute of Fine Arts at National Taiwan Normal University (1982-1985)[1], obtaining a master's and doctoral degree, respectively.[1] He continued to create and exhibit his artworks while also contributing to the development of cultural policies, publishing critiques and recommendations. Huang's artistic accomplishments during this period earned him the 20th Literary and Art Award (Chinese painting category) from the Chinese Writers and Artists Association (1979) and the first "Kaohsiung City Literary and Artistic Achievement Award" (1982).[1]
In 1986, Huang Kuang-nan passed the civil service exam for the first-class public servant (general administrative and educational group) and was appointed as the director of the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, where he served from 1986 to 1995. Huang transitioned from a painter and teacher to a leader in arts administration, starting his administrative career.[5]He later served as the director of the National Museum of History (1995-2004)[6], president of the National Taiwan University of Arts (2004-2011), national policy advisor to the President's Office (2010, 2014), minister without portfolio of the Executive Yuan (2012-2014), and chairman of the Tainan City Art Museum (2019-2020).[1][7] At the same time, Huang's teaching career never stopped. He served as a full-time or part-time professor at various colleges and universities, including the National Taiwan University of Arts, National Taiwan Normal University, National Central University, Tainan National College of the Arts, National Chung Hsing University, and Yuan Ze University.[3] In addition, Huang continues to create artworks, with exhibitions and publications to this day.
