Of Colour and Ink: Chang Dai-chien After 1949

“Of Color and Ink”is the first film to document Chang’s 30-year exile in South America, Europe and the United States and is the result of a 12-year journey by Chinese-American director Weimin Zhang who sought to unravel the mysteries and controversies surrounding Chang's artistic and spiritual quest as he journeyed from East to West. The film makes a case for his strong influence on Western art, showing that his work formed a bridge not only between China’s past and present, but also between Eastern and Western aesthetic ideas. The film delves into his extraordinary life in exile and highlights his mission within the global art world.
