Contraption
"The first book to examine the achievements of California artists of Jewish descent, Contraption illustrates how sixteen artists use the metaphor of the machine to understand and depict how the individual aligns his or her identity with the workings of an at times incomprehensible social system. The compelling works showcased in this catalog illuminate the humor and drama of a century on the West coast"--
Chang Dai-Chien
Chang Dai-chien (1899-1983), one of the most celebrated Chinese painters of the twentieth century, is renowned for his stylistic variety and unparalleled productivity. This book explores three key artistic dimensions--Chang's early ink paintings emulating ancient Chinese styles, his lively portrayals of nature made while residing in Brazil and California, and the transcendent splashed-ink art of his later years. Stunning reproductions of masterworks and insightful texts come together to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Chang's birth and his lasting connection to the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. See the Chang Dai-chien exhibit at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco: November 26, 2019--April 26, 2020

張大千在加州
Unquestionably one of the most important Chinese painters of the 20th century, Chang Dai-chien (1899-1983) was unique in his mastery of historical styles dating back to the 4th century. He was also noted for his introduction of brilliant color with painterly modeling and acclaimed for his grand synthesis of these traditions with aspects of Euro-American Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism.With his reputation in China well-established, Chang Dai-chien emigrated to the West after the Communist Revolution. He traveled and exhibited in Asia, Europe, and South and North America. He finally settled in Carmel, drawn by the distinctive trees of the Monterey Peninsula which reminded him of the Chinese trees he had painted early in his career. Color reproductions of Chang Dai-chien's work are accompanied by commentaries from scholars and friends in the tradition of Chinese colophons. They share both reminiscences as well as remarks about the artist's legacy.
