Huang Rong-can

Huang Rong-can (Chinese: 黃榮燦; pinyin: Huáng Róngcàn; Wade–Giles: Huang Jung-tsan) (October 17, 1920 – November 11/19, 1952) was a Chinese artist and printmaker. Born in Chongqing, he worked as a teacher and trained in art before moving to Taiwan in 1945. There, he continued teaching, and attracted attention for his modernist and politically radical woodcuts, particularly The Horrifying Inspection (恐怖的檢查), an iconic depiction of the 228 Incident. His work's leftist subject matter drew the ire of the Nationalist Government, and he was executed in Taipei in 1952.
