Join The Getty for a screening of "Of Color and Ink," a documentary about the remarkable journey of artist Chang Dai-chien (1899–1983), China’s foremost painter of the 20th century. Director Weimin Zhang documents her 12-year journey to unravel the mysteries and controversies surrounding Chang’s decades of exile in South America, Europe, and the United States. In the 1940s, Chang spent a formative period in Dunhuang, studying and copying the ancient Mogao Cave murals— the subject of a 2016 Getty Research Institute exhibition—which inspired renewed public interest in the murals and refined Chang’s techniques. Of Color and Ink offers an illuminating, revelatory, and entertaining exploration of one of the most influential giants of 20th-century art. The film will be followed by a conversation with director and producer Weimin Zhang, writer Carl Nagin, director of the Chang Dai-chien Research Center Yudan Zhang, and USC professor Meiling Cheng. After the screening, join us for a reception sponsored by the Getty Research Institute Council.
