With the adaptation of document analysis and interviews, Chang’s background and creation process, along with his artworks, were studied to depict the path of Chang’s painting learning, to examine the formation of his painting ideas, and finally to induce his painting styles and features. With the analysis of his landscape, still life and portrait paintings being the main part, Bing-Nan Chang’s paintings were analyzed and expounded through lines, colors and forms of composition.
Chang grew up during Japan’s occupation, and he used to work as an elementary school and vocational school teacher. He painted in his leisure time. Oil and paints were used to show different textures on his oil paintings. His colors were rich and glamorous, lines were smooth, and his composition skill was exact and diverse. He tried innovative styles and constantly pursued self-breakthrough.

1.Period of Exploration of Modern Painting Styles in the West (1946~1964): Realism and the division skill of cubism integrated with surrealism to create a romantic atmosphere.
2.Period of Comparison between Concrete and Abstract (1965~1974): Realism mingled with the division skill of cubism and multi-vision paintings. The overlapping of colors increased, and the brightness and saturation of colors gradually lifted.
3.Period of Taiwan Impressionism (1975~2008): The two styles of the period were impressionism and impressionism blended into Fauvism which had strong colors and bold lines.
