张大千是二十世纪最著名和最具影响的艺术家之一。他以画风多变为称,最初以国画为主,后来也被视为现代印象派和表现主义画家。
张大千于1899年在四川省出生。他自少在艺术世家长大,跟随母亲和姐姐学习绘画。1917年,他移居京都学习绘画和纺织染色技术。 1919年回到上海,跟随曾熙学习艺术,奠定了相当成功的艺术生涯。 1940年,他被派往敦煌临摹古代壁画。在那里的两年零七个月里,他完成了276幅作品。 1945年,他更在巴黎、伦敦、布拉格、日内瓦等地举办画展。
1949年,他定居香港。一年后,他应邀到印度新德里举办展览,参观了阿旃陀石窟,并将当地壁画与敦煌的壁画进行了比较。在印度期间,他的作品以工笔画为主。1953年,他移居巴西圣保罗,并兴建中式园林八德园。1956年,他在法国尼斯会见毕加索,两人更交换了绘画作品。
张大千的国际声望渐盛,经常往来穿梭于美洲,亚洲及欧洲之间。世界各地的风景都成了他灵感的来源,促成了他泼墨的新风格,将抽象表现主义与传统国画相结合。他曾说过,中西艺术不应该有分界。他所向往的中西融合,甚至是能用水墨画西画,油画画国画。
1967年,他在美国滨海卡梅尔“环筚庵”定居。同年,他在加州的首次个展于斯坦福大学举行,吸引了数千人参观。1974年,他被太平洋大学授予荣誉博士学位。
在台湾,张大千经常在国立历史博物馆举办展览。1982年,他获授予中正勋章。一年后,他在台北去世。终年八十三岁。
