Chang Dai-chien (1899-1983) was born in Neijiang in Sichuan. He first learned painting from his mother, and later he studied in Shanghai under Zeng Xi (1861-1930) and Li Ruiqing (1867-1920). He left China in 1949, exhibiting his painting in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. In 1976, he settled in Taipei at a studio he called “Abode of Maya.”
