在臺灣前輩藝術家當中，張義雄應當是最常於街道取景的一位。而且除了街道景觀與街旁的建築物，他也常畫路面上的行人與街頭上的眾生相。在這些有如生活即景的畫作中，張義雄往往特別著重於中下階層民眾日常生活的描繪。但與傳統風俗畫不同，張義雄筆下的人物從不顯得鄙俗，作品也不帶有特殊道德寓意，他所重視的乃是生活實景的呈現，以及人們日常生活中的自在面容。
1914年張義雄出生於臺灣，而後1964年移居日本，1980年又遷居法國巴黎。因此本文除探討張義雄所畫的臺灣街景與本地的市井庶民生活景象，也將討論他以心目中的藝術之都巴黎的城市景觀為題材的畫作，以及其中所呈現的當地人文風貌與日常生活。
張義雄畫作中的街道與日常生活，其意義絕不僅止於圖像誌的紀錄，其中更蘊含著他的人道關懷，以及他對人類與萬物之生命情狀的哲思體悟。在這些畫作中，我們亦可見到張義雄在臺灣美術史中的獨特性，及其獨到且深刻的藝術性。

Over nearly a century of creative life, famous Taiwanese artist Chang Yi-hsiung has produced a considerable body of work across various subjects and genres, including portraiture, landscape, still life painting, as well as non-representational painting. His achievements and unique style have earned him a very prominent place in the art history of Taiwan.
Chang Yi-hsiung was born in 1914 in the southern Taiwan town of Chiayi, and moved to Japan in 1964 before fulfilling his dream of settling in Paris in 1980. Although Chang may have most frequently painted European scenery, particularly in France, he has also produced many scenic paintings, and paintings of objects, in his homeland, Taiwan. Despite Chang's fascination with the beauty of Paris, he does not seek to glorify the city by painting beautiful tourist attractions. Instead, his Parisian street views feature people in humble conditions.
Chang's paintings are often concerned with the lives of ordinary people, city scenery, everyday life, and minorities in modern society, and each is shown with his unique artistry and profound depth. His artistic expression might be explored through an application of contemporary aesthetic theories, as well as cultural studies concepts, to enrich and expand our understanding of Chang's creative achievements.
