Caught in the transitional point of the old and new, Wu Hao's history of painting is parallel to the progress of Taiwan's history. In the fifties, he tried very hard to find his own character and the zeitgeist in spite of scare sources. In the sixties, with many members of Oriental Art Society, he started confidently to demonstrate his works in domestic and foreign exhibits, in search of the modern within the traditional fields. Until the seventies, he chose the prints to reflect on the simple and folk motifs. In the eighties, he used oil on canvas to show his colorful and vigorous spirit. In his artistic life, though the contents and images of his works may change through time, he always sticks to his ideal and searches for the purity of art: loyal to emotions, to himself. He combines the soft and the hard to pursue joys and colors. He can find splendor and hope even during the desolate years and among shabby objects. These are his potentials. Just like a wanderer away from his home, he can always find a happy land among thistles and thorns. Optimistically embracing new possibilities and advancing new routes, he cultivates beautiful flowers in the soil of sorrows and sweats.
