Interesting video, but what's most interesting about Chang Daichien is that he was a master forger of Chinese paintings: "So prodigious was his virtuosity within the medium of Chinese ink and colour that it seemed he could paint anything. His output spanned a huge range, from works based on the early masters of Chinese painting to the innovations of his late works which connect with the language of Western abstract art. Second, he paid scrupulous attention to the materials he used. "He studied paper, ink, brushes, pigments, seals, seal paste, and scroll mountings in exacting detail. When he wrote an inscription on a painting, he sometimes included a postscript describing the type of paper, the age and the origin of the ink, or the provenance of the pigments he had used." Third, he often forged paintings based on descriptions in catalogues of lost paintings; his forgeries came with ready-made provenance. Chang's forgeries have been purchased as original paintings by several major art museums in the United States, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: Of particular interest is a master forgery acquired by the Museum in 1957 as an authentic work of the tenth century. The painting, which was allegedly a landscape by the Five Dynasties period master Guan Tong, is one of Chang’s most ambitious forgeries and serves to illustrate both his skill and his audacity."
@balisong46 This is not a controversial opinion. It's well established that he forged a ton of work. It's estimated he made well over $10 Million selling forged paintings. I don't think it indicates a lack of skill, rather it takes a lot of skill and knowledge to pull off convincing forgeries. I'm sure he saw it as a feather in his cap. I find forgers to be very interesting and in my mind Chang ranks up there with van Meegeren, Beltracchi, Myatt and Sakhai. Here are a few sources that corroborate my statement. Fairly easy to find a ton of these if you're into using Google. Cheers friend-o. "Painting theory". Challenging the Past: The Paintings of Chang Dai-Chien.

I'm not an artist, but I took a drawing class in high school. One assignment was to draw a still life without using lines, only shading values. It was very challenging- this reminds me of that for some reason.
Zhang Daqian is a master of traditional CBP who is able to demonstrate handling a brush, his brushes are selected for varied strokes, choosing a brush is crucial for effects. He chooses a large paper, several shades of black He then proceeds to balance mountains with trees, presence of fog, waterfall, moss, lakes among either element of this CBP.A treat for learners of CBP.Almighty to bless Zhang Dqian in the hereafter.Ameen
I actually find her voice and commentary kind of irritating, especially her high pitch and affectation with which she speaks. It’s very typical of the era. People who spoke like that thought they were being superior and more sophisticated. It’s not how the average folks speaks, then or now.
@@baldrbraa I understand. As a child, I grew up in Taiwan listening to this kind of way of speaking. For many years, the ruling authoritarian party KMT actually forbade students to speak Taiwanese (their mother tongue) at school even during recess time and would fine the students if they broke the rule. The way she speaks with a "Beijing" accent was considered by people who came from mainland ~1945-49 (while the KMT was being defeated by the communists) to be culturally superior, even though most of them literally escaped from mainland China to Taiwan. Many "mainlanders" even looked down on local Taiwanese people for speaking Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent. Nowadays it's a lot different. The differentiation between local Taiwanese and "mainlanders" has been blurred as teh older generations die off. Most people in Taiwan now speak with an accent unique to Taiwan, which is much softer and gentler than the harsher tone of the Beijing accent.
@@joncaju Wow, that’s amazing, thank you for giving me some insight. I can understand how a particular accent can carry more meaning than meets the ear of a European like me. Be proud of your country and your culture. I wish your country the best. Love from Norway🇳🇴
Thank you for sharing an art form I didn't know existed (ink pouring) the honorable Zhang Daqian is indeed a Master and I am blessed to have seen him perform his art.

I love this artists use of blue and green. Does anyone know what kind of colours he would have used? I was wondering if it was those mineral based chip ones or some other kind. I'm not seeing any Marie tubes!
I believe he used Chinese painting colors. The different colors in Chinese painting come from different sources. For example, the 'ochre' is a mineral pigment, while the 'floral blue' is a vegetable pigment.
Thank you. A great artist who could also pull ancient masterpieces out of his hat -- so to speak. They mention 2 other videos at the end, are these obtainable?

And what did he do during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution? 無產階級文化大革命 1966-1976. Did you go to the village to grow rice? Drawing campaign posters and banners for the Communist Party? Or was he left alone and allowed to continue painting watercolor pictures?

@@rogerredford4010 thanks for your response. i hope it was not the quickness of the production that makes you call it a mess. that would not be fair, because most of Michelangelo's drawings or Sargent's watercolors or Rodin's sketches take even shorter time to produce. no one ever called them mess, although, honestly, some of them are indeed a bit messy.
@@rogerredford4010 In different years, Zhang Daqian worked in different styles. For example, during the 1940s, he made copies of medieval Dunhuang grotto paintings. e.g. en.chinaculture.org/2018-02/22/content_1157875_4.htm

Being kidnapped by bandits probably carries a certain distinction as well.

The different colors in Chinese painting come from different sources. For example, the 'ochre' is a mineral pigment, while the 'floral blue' is a vegetable pigment.
He used vomit
The green is from Malachite, blue from Azurite or lazurite. Lazurite is far more expensive.
Those mineral are mixed with gelatin.
大千大師的潑墨畫，很優雅大氣，像霧又像仙境，他很大膽的用色，🎉孔雀藍是國畫常用的色調，如果多點透視拿捏不好就會落於俗套，但大千大師畫龍點晴，使作品因色而提昇更高層次，佩服大千大師的世紀之作，像魔幻般的程現眾人眼前。
