pan says, the launch of the program resulted from years of endeavor with the chang family — the parents, firstborn daughter chang shana, who was director of what is now academy of arts and design of tsinghua university, and chang jiahuang — as well as fan jinshi, who took charge as director of the dunhuang academy that year.
"chang shuhong was well-established in oil painting. it's a pity he painted so little in the latter part of his life," pan said while visiting the exhibition at the zhejiang provincial museum on sept 29.
that day, chang jiahuang said at the exhibition's opening ceremony that as his parents' student, secretary and assistant, he witnessed their twists and turns, their creation and research, and experienced their art and spirits, following which he grew to become introspective, modest and rigorous.
according to him, the ongoing exhibition is the largest display of chang shuhong's paintings since 1990 and a good presentation of the master's spirits conveyed through his works.
