Chang Gu-nien (Chinese: 張穀年, 1905 – 1987), also known as Huai Chun, was a Chinese painter from Wujiang, Jiangsu, Republic of China.[1][2]
Life
editIn his early years, Chang sold paintings in Shanghai before entering public service, but he continued to create art. He worked for the government and travelled to various scenic spots[3]. He began studying painting under his uncle, the famous Hai School artist Feng Chaoran, and copied paintings from collectors in Shanghai, establishing a foundation in painting. In the 1940s, his style gradually shifted from copying ancient styles to sketching from life. In 1943, he held his first solo exhibition of paintings and calligraphy in Shanghai. Chang studied the styles of various painters, particularly learning from the techniques of Wang Hui[4]. After moving to Taiwan, he emphasized sketching and focused on depicting the local scenery.
In 1955, he and six other painters, including Ma Shouhua, Chen Fang, Tao Yun-lou, Cheng Man-ching, Liu Yan-tao, and Kao I-hong, formed the "Seven Friends Painting Society."[5]
Chang also wrote about painting, discussing the use of perspective and the differences between sketching in traditional Chinese painting and Western painting. He proposed the use of oblique perspective and scattered-point perspective in traditional Chinese painting, which enriches the content of the painting.
In the preface to Liu Yan-tao's book "Illustrated Explanation of Chinese Landscape Painting Techniques," Liu praised Chang's "stubbornness" and his efforts to constantly improve his art. 'Ching-shui Cliff' created in 1968 is the masterpiece of Chang's constant innovation[6]." Chang's various interpretations and pursuit of sketching led to the creation of multiple artistic styles based on natural landscapes.
Chang passed away in March 1987 at the age of 82.
