Description
Aung Soe Illustrations is an open-access online database of periodical and book illustrations by Bagyi Aung Soe (1923–1990), Myanmar’s trailblazer of modern art and most prolific illustrator of the twentieth-century. It seeks to conserve the memory of this artistic, cultural and intellectual heritage, uncover and reinterpret the (hi)story of a country’s modern art through digitization, visual analysis, ontology creation, data curation, database design and data visualization of 6,000 illustrations and 60 texts sourced from private and public libraries. This project is a collaboration between Yin Ker, at NTU’s School of Art, Design and Media, and Hedren Sum Way Yuan of the Office of Information, Knowledge and Library Services.
