Chang Dai-chien, Swiss Peaks; Calligraphy in Xingshu
This work by Chang Dai-chien comprises two complementary pieces: a landscape painting executed in the spontaneous splashed ink technique and a calligraphic inscription in the running script style (xingshu). The splashed ink approach, which emphasizes gestural brushwork and atmospheric effects, captures the dramatic essence of Swiss mountain scenery through abstract forms and tonal gradations. Together, the painting and calligraphy demonstrate the artist's mastery of both pictorial and textual modes of Chinese artistic expression.
