So ein schönes Intermezzo 

In 1989, the founder of Chris Cam Mirror Linda Lin established her own business from a small factory building in Tainan. Due to a gradual increase in sales, Ms. Lin bought a new site and wanted to decorate the company with artworks. At an art fair, she fell in love with Lee Kuang-Yu’s The Carefree Drunkard at first sight, and decided to devote herself to art collection. Since then, Ms. Lin has started to collect her thoughts via books and exhibitions within her busy life. She gives both praise and sigh to life after understanding every artwork’s meaning and the artist's turbulent journey. Art indeed has extraordinary power, curing all living things.

‘So ein schönes Intermezzo!’, a German traveler once said before farewell, means ‘What a wonderful serendipity!’ in English. The general definition of Intermezzo, an Italian term of interlude, however, is a short orchestral piece, often heard in between plays or acts of an opera; a light instrumental composition in the middle of symphonies. Never had Director of Mezzo Art Chen Ei-len, who is also the daughter of Linda Lin and a classical music enthusiast, thought that a musical term could be described as serendipity. She was excited and simplified the word by selecting the last two syllables, Mezzo, to name the museum. Mezzo Art, a private art museum with their expectations and the purpose of sharing art collections, exists. They hope a moment of serendipity in the arts can occur in everyone’s life.

Enjoy a melody, a masterpiece at Mezzo Art. What a wonderful serendipity!
