Of Color and Ink

This is the first film to document Chang Dai-chien’s 30-year exile in South America, Europe, and
the United States. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Weimin Zhang, Of Color and Ink is the
culmination of Zhang’s 12-year journey to unravel the mysteries and controversies surrounding
his political, arQsQc, and spiritual quests. The film delves into Chang's extraordinary life in exile,
highlighting the global context of his art and its broad impact as it crossed cultural boundaries
and political borders - even more relevant in today’s world. The film argues for his significant influence on Western art and illustrates how his work formed a bridge between East and West. Last February, The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco premiered Of Color and Ink, and called it a significant revelation: “Despite being the world’s top-selling artist, Chang Daichien’s life remained a mystery—until now.”
