UMAG Online Lecture Series (2025-2026) 💬 Lecture 3
Encountering the “Tiger Painter”: Zhang Shanzi’s Fundraising Tour of the United States, 1939–1940
This lecture reconstructs the 1939–1940 fundraising tour of the guohua painter Zhang Shanzi (1882–1940) across the United States, undertaken at the height of the second Sino-Japanese War. Zhang’s overseas activities received extensive coverage in prominent news outlets and popular magazines, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Life, and Time, where he was frequently dubbed the “Tiger Painter” in recognition of his signature tiger paintings. Through examining the artist’s mobilisation of personal networks, stylistic innovation, and new exhibition venues, this work complicates established discourses on the distinct trajectories of Chinese visual modernity and its entanglements with global modernism.
