Abstract

The famous painter Chang Dai-Chien in the 20th century was one of the most dazzling artists in contemporary Chinese and Western painting world. His works not only inherited the techniques and aesthetic thoughts of Chinese traditional painting, but also developed the new techniques of tachisme and splash-ink painting to expand the Chinese painting style and artistic conception. Chang Dai-Chien loved Sichuan opera and Peking opera all of his life, drifting away the homeland for decades didn't change his accent, especially in Chang Dai-Chien's old age, his speech and behavior often showed his deep yearning for his local accent, nostalgia and the old friends. Chang Dai-Chien loved Sichuan opera and enjoyed to explore the cultural connotation of Sichuan opera and create a large number of classical opera figures in his works. Without any doubt, Sichuan opera's traditional culture has profound impact on his own artistic and aesthetic accomplishment. This paper starts from Chang Dai-Chien's artistic style and creative experience and the impact of Sichuan opera's traditional culture on his juvenile age, analyzes and discusses the embodiment of Chang Dai-Chien 's aesthetic thoughts in his works.
