Zhang Daqian was from Neijiang in Sichuan province (old name Shu). He studied Chinese painting in Japan and in Shanghai where he was active until the war. In 1949 he left China and went to São Paulo in Brazil where from 1954 on he built a famous garden in Chinese style where he lived until 1971. Here he did many paintings of the lotuses in the lake which he named the ‘Lake of Five Kiosks’. The splash ink technique combined with green and blue color is characteristic of his new style at that time
