Zhang Daqian：An Artist of Contrasts

摘要

ZHANG Daqian (1899-1983) was skilled in many arts, including calligraphy, seal cutting and poetry, but it is for his paintings that he is best known. Yet he is not known for just his own paintings. Zhang Daqian was also a master forger of such quality and prolificness that curators are warned to ask themselves of Chinese paintings with uncertain origins, "Is this a work of Zhang Daqian?"
