EARTH ~









CHANG DAI-CHIEN


Oh ~ what beautiful work.

A twentieth century master who could out smart the best with his forgeries posing back to ancient times.

He had the touch.

And he lived long enough and wise enough to range as a traditionalist to impressionist to expressionist painter.

His life took him from his native China to Kyoto to Brazil to California and finally settling in Taiwan.

Prolific, he painted 30,000 paintings in his lifetime ~

capturing the essence of balance:

calligraphy, brush painting and poetry.

Just look at those blues!
