Revolutionizing Research Perspectives
by AI Image Search & Colorization
With the innovative “AI Image Search/Colorization” feature, the “Lionart Digital Archive” revitalizes Taiwan’s art history. Imagine selecting a few from 60,000 originally blurry black and white photos, becoming more layered and distinct after coloring, especially the more enhanced portraits.
From 1971 to 1996, The LionArt Monthly was the leading art journal of Taiwan. A prime platform for the Chinese art community, capturing 25 years of art evolution. It houses rare materials such as works from 4,000 Chinese artists, 10,000 pages of gallery ads, critiques, and artist profiles. LionArt’s mission was to bridge Western ideas with local art, celebrating both renowned Western pieces and budding local artists. Its focus on “Taiwanese senior artists,” “contemporary calligraphers and painters,” and “Oriental art” is particularly notable. Beyond preserving history, it’s been a beacon of inspiration, setting art standards.
The database also boasts art lexicons from LionArt’s bestsellers, encompassing 12,220 entries, 30,000 articles, and 68,000 images. It’s a treasure trove for art scholars and educators.
