Chang Dai-chien (Zhang Daqian) (1899-1983), known as the “Picasso of the East” during his time, was widely considered one of the most important Chinese painters of the 20th century. Chang left his beloved homeland in 1949 when the Communist Party came to power and spent the ensuing three decades traveling and showing around the world before settling down in Taiwan in 1977.Of Color and Ink is a feature-length documentary that follows Chang Dai-chien’s journey as he embarks on a quest from the East to the West. This documentary was inspired by the beautiful film footage produced in 1967 by beloved and revered art historian Michael Sullivan. Sullivan’s historic 1967 footage helped inspire Weimin Zhang. Zhang is an award-winning filmmaker and teaches at San Francisco State University. Prof. Zhang embraced the almost impossible challenge of documenting Chang Dai-chien’s tangled international profile. This project spanned 12 years and involved extensive travel.
A Q&A session with Director Zhang will follow the screening.
