Who was the famous painter Zhang Danian in the Republic of China?
Mr. Zhang Danian was a famous painter in the Republic of China, but he was not known to the general public after liberation. Only a few picture books have been published, such as Comic Mulan published by Radio and Film Publishing House 1982 and Zhang Danian's Painting Collection published by Shanghai Fine Arts Publishing House 1988. However, according to the Collection of Gifts from Collectors of Mao Zedong's Former Residence published by People's Fine Arts Publishing House in June 1983, during the period of 1945- 1972, Mao Zedong's paintings and calligraphy works were presented by domestic painters and celebrities, and 97 pieces were selected this time, including paintings and calligraphy works of many celebrities in modern history. Such as Liu Yazi, Guo Moruo, Chen Shuming, Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, Gao Xishun, He Xiangning, Hu, Hui Xiaotong, Wu Guangyu, Wu Jingting, Qi, Pu Songling, Ye, Wang Shensheng, Chen Banding, Yu Feiqi, Pu Xuezhai and Pu Yong. Pu, Jin Xiezhong, Pu, Liao, Du Bingpo, Yu Geyu, He Xia, Zhang Shiyuan, Xia, Xing Duan, Huang Yanpei, Zhang Shutong, Huang, He Yangxi, Zhou Shoujuan, Feng Fuguang, Pu Yiyue, Chen Tuanfu, Zhang Zhengheng and Zhang Yinghong. There are also several Japanese: Matsumura of Gui Yue, Saito of Saburo, and Kaii Higashiyama. These people are famous, such as Lei Guaner. Zhang Danian is still ahead of Mr. Deng Sanmu. If this Zhang Danian is Mr. Zhang Danian who painted the biography of Wu Zetian, it is unknown and incomprehensible.
