ARTIST BIO: Zhang Shanzi 张善孖 (1882 - 1940) was a ink and color painter, and older brother of Zhang Daqian. Born in Neijian in the Sichuan province, Zhang excelled at landscape, flower, bird, and wild animal paintings, and was particularly well known for his depictions of tigers. In 1903, he studied in Japan and participated in the activities of the underground resistance movement known as the Tongmenghui. After returning to China, he remained active in revolutionary movements, and served as a member on the presidential consultative committee after the founding of the Republic of China. Following the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937, Zhang created a number of anti-Japanese paintings with strong nationalistic themes. He also helped fundraise for the Chinese army by selling his paintings in Europe and the United States. He died in Chongqing after returning from a fundraising trip.
