Garden of Zhang Daqian

The ongoing exhibition features a group of photographs by Hu Chongxian (1912-1989) with inscriptions by the painter Zhang Daqian (1899-1983). Hu deliberately left a blank space on each picture for Zhang to inscribe a little poem with his running cursive calligraphy directly on the photo. With Zhang’s inscriptions on every single photo, the two artists were of one mind, connected through a shared aesthetic conception of Chinese literati painting that emphasized poetry, calligraphy and painting in a new medium. This is the first time in the past 40 years the artworks have been showcased in China’s mainland.
