This dissertation proposes a critical introduction to the work of Chang Dai-chien, an important Chinese painter of the 20th century, who lived in Brazil between the 50s and 70s. The starting point of this study will be the artist's production related to landscape painting , maximum genre of the Chinese pictorial tradition and main subject of his work. The research is based on the specific bibliography on the subject and on the classics of Chinese aesthetic thought, associated with the observation of the artist's capital works and paintings consecrated in the history of Chinese art. Along this path, both concepts related to literature, poetry and other arts are explored, as well as the historical and social forces at work in the contexts linked to his trajectory. These references are necessary for an initial analysis of Chang's production, in which aesthetic transformations are observed that culminated in the development of an individual style, which assimilates trends associated with Western art to a strictly traditional Chinese elaboration. Started in his passage through Brazil and developed in the following years, in the United States and Taiwan, this language guaranteed the presence of his works in international museums and in the global art market, contributing to the dissemination and preservation of traditional Chinese painting in an multicultural artistic scenario.
