Summary
"Chang Dai-chien (1899-1983), one of the most celebrated Chinese painters of the twentieth century, is renowned for his stylistic variety and unparalleled productivity. This book explores three key artistic periods-Chang's early ink paintings emulating ancient Chinese styles, his transcendent portrayals of nature made while residing in Brazil and California, and the innovative splashed-ink art of his later years. Stunning reproductions of masterworks and insightful texts come together to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Chang's birth and his lasting connection to the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco"--provided by publisher
