Chang Dai-chien, Landscape after Shixi; Calligraphy in Lishu
This folding fan painting by Chang Dai-chien demonstrates the artist's mastery of both landscape composition and classical calligraphy, combining ink and color on gold paper with a complementary lishu script inscription. The work exemplifies Chang's skill in reinterpreting earlier artistic traditions, particularly his study of the Yuan master Shixi, while the gold ground creates a luminous surface that enhances the delicate brushwork. The intimate scale of the fan format showcases the refined aesthetic sensibility characteristic of Chinese literati painting.
