张大千是我国现代最具代表性且富于传奇色彩的人物。他出身平微。他的父亲因经营盐业破产曾流落街头。青年时代的张大千只具有中学文化水平。他被迫做过土匪“师爷”,后来因为婚事不谐还居然当了一年多的“出家人”。 1941年,42岁的张大千去敦煌苦熬了三年,用原始的方法临摹了三百多幅壁画。这次敦煌之行几乎彻底改变了张大千的命运。这位当时靠造假画起家的小画家居然一步成了我国当代文人画家的代表人物。 Zhang Daqian is the most representative and legendary figure in modern China. He was born flat. His father had been on the street for bankruptcy in the salt industry. Zhang Daqian youth has only a high school education. He was forced to do bandits “master”, but later actually become a “monk” for more than a year because of marital disharmony. In 1941, 42-year-old Zhang Daqian went to Dunhuang to work hard for three years, copying more than 300 murals with the original method. The visit to Dunhuang completely changed the fate of Zhang Daqian. The little painter, who at the time started his fake painting, actually became a representative of the contemporary literary painter in our country.
