Chang Dai-chien also rendered as Zhang Daqian 1899-1983 is one of the best-known and most prolific Chinese artists of the 20th century as prized for his detailed portraits as he is for his splashed-ink landscapes. Originally a traditionalist who excelled at a broad range of classical Chinese styles and techniques he later developed innovative methods resulting in compositions of a more modern style. It can be hard to attribute works to Chang since his style was so varied. Not only did he create his own work as well as forging other artists but others would forge his originals. Because he was hugely prolific these volumes cannot be described as a catalogue raisonné since they represent only a small portion of the artist's works. Chang Dai-chien lived variously in mainland China Argentina Brazil the United States and finally Taiwan. <br/> <br/> National Museum of History hardcover
