Born in 1899 in China's Sichuan province is the most significant Chinese artist of the 20th century. Zhang Daqian developed his eyesight problems in the late 1950s while living in Brazil. As his condition deteriorated, he developed his mature splashes color (pocal) style.
This style is seen on his work "Splashed-color Landscape" which depicts abstract expression landscape with titanium mountain region lighted with cerulean and phalo blue deconstructed waterfall. After the creation of the "gold-line" style, the "broken-ink" technique was developed. It was a style to transcribe ink upon paper, and this style stimulated many artists such as Wang Chi, Wang Wei who were all influenced by Chinese Song Dynasty landscape paintings.

Splashed-ink was first introduced in the early 9th century by a Chinese painter named Wang Hsia who would smear ink on silk while he was drunk. Its is said the visual psychology of the splashed-ink is derived from the Taoist concept.
It requires a deep understanding of natural landscape settings as well as academic study of Chinese painting. The ink applied on the canvas gives an almost transparent water color effect that it leaves the viewer to assume that ink was badly used as a medium to paint. There is so much smoothness to the ink painting and is auspiciously smooth to the eye. The ink paint seems to depicts so much justice to the subject matter with its smoothness. The smooth hues blue only emphasize on the waterfalls' conveyance graving on top of black and gray formations.
Zhang Daqian art work " Splash- color Landscape" was dated in 1965 when the politics, world power, military growth and civil rights were all rising. There was a lot of U.S involvement in the Vietnam conflict where more than 4000 marines landed in South Vietnam. There were already about 23,000 Americans who had been serving as military advisers for several years to South Vietnam.
During this time while the world powers move in the Pacific, Zhang Daqian was moving abroad to his western studio in order to accomplish the perfection to the works of his subject matter. It was after he became a Buddhist, that the root of his work became a direct reflection of his Zen Buddhism study.
Zhang Daqain art of work ranged from human figure all the way to his popular abstract lotus painting. He created these painting till he reached the final solution of splashed ink and color method to create the abstract paintings.
With overall technique of loosely applied ink, the procedure of free form of the ink splotches and carve the lines of the images delicately bringing dimension of two foot by three fold finished work of art.
