The present catalogue was published on the occasion of the centennial exhibition of works by Chang Dai-Chien. Chang Dai-Chien, the man and the artist, represented the interaction of the old and the new in modern China. His paintings, all in the traditional style, reveal the marks of virtually every age of Chinese painting and he was considered to be the greatest painter in China of the last five hundred years. The exhibition featured works produced during Chang's entire artistic career from 1926 to 1982, including his final masterpiece: "Panorama of Mt. Lushan", "Panoramic Handscroll of Mt. Huang", and "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River". The catalogue also includes an abbreviated chronology of Chang Dai-chien and selected bibliography.
