Jiahuang Chang and the Modern Grottoes

Jiahuang Chang: Mogao Grottoes
Oil on canvas

The Mogao Grottoes (T housand-Buddha Cave) in Dunhuang are often described as immense pearls inserted into the Silk Road. In these caves, the superior wisdom of ancient Chinese civilization is represented by large quantities of cultural relics, including silk, hand-copied books, sutras, and Buddhist decorative sculptures and wall paintings.The Mogao Grottoes consist of about five hundred caves filled with colorful murals, sculptures, and religious scripts, all of which were created during a seventeen-hundred-year
period.Today, people from all corners of the world visit the Mogao Grottoes to learn about Chinese art, history and culture. One great man known as the “Protector of the Mogao Grottoes," Shuhong Chang, played a key role in protecting the caves and cultural relics to promote Dunhuang study.

Shuhong Chang was a gifted and well-known artist in the modern art history of China. He studied painting in France in l920s and l930s, and his works were collected by the Centre National d’Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou in Paris. It is no doubt that he would have been a promising artist had he stayed in Paris; however, pictures of the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and cultural relics from them which he found in a bookstore by Seine River in Paris changed his life. Chang was simply amazed by those fine and splendid murals and decided to go back to China. Chang arrived in Dunhuang in I935 traveling on a cart pulled by a donkey.At the Mogao Grottoes, Chang and his companions cleaned and numbered the Buddhist caves, took pictures for documentation, used various techniques to protect the wall paintings, and recreated many of the artworks they saw for further study.
