The University of Hawaii Art Gallery will
be open to the public for special hours on Saturday, April 2, from

The Reformer's Brush: Modernity and Traditional

and showcases 78 works of Chinese calligraphy and painting from Honolulu
collectors Dr. Ernest and Letah Lee and Dr. Chin-tang Lo. Artists and leaders
whose works are highlighted include Li Hongzhang, who received King Kalakaua and
Queen Emma on their 1881 visit to China, and Liang Qichao, who visited Honolulu
in 1899 to raise funds for reform. Works by Chiang Kai-shek, Mei Lanfang, Guo
