紐約東森電視台 王一如 訪問為人類而藝術 專訪 “The Arts can be an expression of what is sacred and alive within us, within human civilization. If you feed your soul with the Arts and cultivate your character with their beauty, you will never be poor. This is a message our children need to hear. And as our world converges more and more, we are blessed to enjoy the creative gifts of artists of all backgrounds, from throughout human history. In this age of advanced technology, besides ‘hardware’ and ‘software,’ we are also called to cultivate ‘SOULWARE’ -- a new spirit of Love and Globalism.” In this Tour, we celebrate this Soulware with ‘Art for Humanity’s sake,’ art that reflects and encourages this new global village in which we live... -- Dr. T.F. Chen, Initiator of the Art For Humanity World Tour

Arts For Humanity Invitation

“Arts For Humanity” A World Tour 2005 – 2010

Embracing Cultural Harmony We invite your participation & support. The Arts For Humanity World Tour will organize and provide powerful exhibits, cultural events, and educational programs; focusing on issues of peace, tolerance, and cultural diversity. Museums, galleries, universities, and organizations who are interested in advancing the importance of Art Education and positive values of Art as a vehicle for global peace expression, or who would like to enhance their existing programs are welcome to participate. We invite you to become a member, arrange or sponsor an exhibition/event in your area, or intern/work with us professionally. Please watch for our upcoming Commercial to be aired this year. The initiator of this project, Dr. T.F. Chen, is a master artist, painter, art historian, writer, philosopher, visionary, and founder of his own Cultural Center and Foundation in SoHo, NYC. In 2001, Dr. Chen was honored with the Global Tolerance Award from the Friends of the United Nations and designated a Cultural Ambassador for Tolerance and Peace, for his lifetime of work dedicated to peace and for his art of multiculturalism—a body of work that inspires worldwide cultural harmony and progress. Dr. Chen’s artistic life spans more than half a century. A Taiwanese-American, Dr. Chen was the first Asian to earn a Ph. D in art history from Univ. of Paris (La Sorbonne) while simultaneously studying at the Nat’l Superior School of Fine Arts, where he established "Fifth-Dimensional World Culture" in theory (1969) and initiated "Neo-Iconography" (Neo-I) in painting. Renowned for his artistic style, philosophical vision, and honorable character, Dr. T. F. Chen is a true Renaissance Man who embodies the merging of Western and Eastern Cultures. Neo-Iconography is a daring new form of communication. It unites East and West, past and present, by organizing and combining familiar "icons" in unfamiliar ways. Like a passionate art collector, Dr. Chen assembles images he treasures and places them together in contexts that defy time, space, and cultural barriers; to create a new painting with a new meaning. Dr. T.F. Chen has produced more than 1,000 paintings in his signature Neo-I style and has published over 20 books in English, Chinese and French concerning his art and his theories of an upcoming Global New Renaissance. Recognized as "one of the twenty most influential artists in the world today” (Dr. Thomas McEvilley, art critic), Chen has conducted more than 100 one-man exhibitions worldwide. Chen's works are featured in over 150 books, (including the art history textbook, Art and Ideas), countless articles, newspapers, etc.; and are collected widely. His series include "The Spirit of Liberty," "Humanity," "Post - Van Gogh," "East - West," "Space Age," “War and Peace,” "Princess Diana," "9/11," etc. There are many ways to get involved and make a cultural contribution. Please visit our site at www.artsforhumanitytour.org. Thank you.
