Introduction:

The feature-length documentary OF COLOR AND INK unveils the three-decade-long life of Zhang Daqian, one of China's most significant 20th-century painters, spent overseas. Through in-depth interviews, innovative integration of animation and special effects, and cutting-edge visual representations, this film employs montage editing that transcends time and space, along with previously unseen historical footage, to deeply explore the artist's creative endeavors and steadfast spiritual pursuits. It also portrays the esteemed traditional Chinese artist's exploration in the Western art world. Major exhibitions of Zhang Daqian's works at museums such as the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, Musée National des Arts Asiatiques - Guimet, the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, and their inclusion in the collections of prestigious institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and other key collections worldwide, demonstrate his successful establishment as a global artist.
