Abstract:In his late years, ZHANG Da qian employed the rich oriental colors in his ink-splash paintings. He splashed such colors in the landscapes with ink as background. This made his paintings rich in layers and beautiful and elegant. It not only showed the physical space between far and near natural scenes and distinction between rainy and sunny days, but showed the hierarchical space among colors themselves. And his followers have found it hard to get the miraculous fusion between ink and colors. From this, we know that ZHANG’s ink splash paintings were not the works done without any rules and at his will, but have their unique color designing ways.
