Zhang Daqian is a famous Chinese painter. He and Qi Baishi. also an influential Chinese painter, are honored with the title “Zhang in the South. Qi in the North”, meaning the best two Chinese painters of the time. Xu Beihong. a modern Chinese master of fine arts, had given high praise to Zhang, saying that he is the best painter in the recent five hundred years. Zhang traveled around the world in 1950s, which gained him a great reputation with the title of “the distinguished painter in the Eastern world” in the Western art world. However, seldom do people know that this master of art also has a strong interest in food, and knows a lot about it. These two points are critical for justifying him as a gourmet.
