| Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) Grandeur of Lotus Pond 1963 Ink on paper, hanging scroll, 141 x 74.8 cm Courtesy of Sotheby's 張大千 (1899-1983 年) 《冷香飛上詩句》 1963 年作 水墨紙本, 立軸, 141 x 74.8 公分 |
Owned by leading Chinese painter, teacher and collector Wu Hufan, the Mei Jing Studio Collection is home to books, paintings, calligraphy and stone rubbings of historical value. Wu was respected within the Shanghai art community, especially for his exquisite eye for art and his masterful brush technique.
Peers with deep request for each other, Zhang Daqian and Wu Hufan often dedicated paintings to one another, including personal and poetic inscriptions. Zhang created this piece in 1963 while he was in Brazil, and dedicated it to Wu on his 70th birthday. In celebration of that milestone birthday, Zhang used a paper measuring more than 140 centimeters and employed his most proficient freehand technique to portray a lush lotus pond filled with the gently swaying plants. Bold, gestural brushstrokes cast generously in ink create a vivid, watery effect in this magnificent work.
「梅景書屋」收藏歷代書畫金石碑帖名聞遐邇, 主人吳湖帆承襲家學, 以眼光精絶及筆底造化高妙, 享譽滬上藝壇。
大千甚為推重吳湖帆畫藝, 兩人每得歷代名人劇迹, 多招邀觀摩共賞, 品評切磋, 探討研究, 故在「大風堂」及「梅景書屋」藏品中, 不乏對方題跋, 甚或互贈珍藏, 傳為佳話。 大千移家南美後, 故國親朋藝友, 音訊未得相通, 偶有消息, 多請托友輩居中轉達, 寄贈作品, 亦循此途徑。本幅寫於一九六三年, 遙寄自巴西八德園, 誌賀湖帆七十整壽。 大千值賀湖帆古稀之壽, 取幾近五尺整紙, 以擅長之大寫意法, 寫雨過池塘, 白荷迎風招展, 巨葉掩映飄揚, 伴以含苞者挺拔而立, 全畫筆勢豪放, 大開大闔, 墨彩淋漓, 氤氲滿紙, 水氣盈溢, 生動自然, 且見雄渾之勢, 呈諸藝友。
