Lot 1232 IMPORTANT ZHANG DAQIAN PAINTINGS FROM A DISTINGUISHED NORTH AMERICAN COLLECTION (LOTS 1230-1233)
“In the late 1980s, we began collecting 20th Century Chinese ink paintings. Our fascination with the master painters of that period led us very quickly to develop a passion for the paintings of Zhang Daqian. Our particular fascination with Zhang Daqian arose from the incredibly proficient technical brilliance of his paintings, but even more importantly the versatility of both his style and subject. There are few master painters during this period who made the journey from the most traditional of classic Chinese painting to the extraordinarily abstract splash ink style that he was famous for in his later years.”
