Catalogue Note

Note:
An Ho was born in Beijing in 1927 and became a disciple of Pu Ru in 1946, following him diligently after moving to Taiwan. Pu Ru was particularly fond of An Ho. Apart from painting, he also trained her in poetry, calligraphy, and other disciplines. Their relationship lasted seventeen years. This calligraphy is from An Ho's personal collection.
