He served in the Inner Court during the Tien-shun (1457-1464) and Ch’eng-hua (1465-1487) eras. He is known for incorporating the free, cursive strokes of the “grass style” calligraphic script into the brushwork of his painting style. An eagle is caught in mid-turn as it swoops down in pursuit of a fleeing mynah bird. Imbued with a spirited movement that is remarkably true to life, the scene conveys the tension of the moment. Using primarily monochrome ink, Lin has employed loose, coarse strokes in fluid motions; light washes of faint color are overwhelmed by the saturated fullness of the darker ink. The overall effect is one of powerful balance and a sense of the uncontrived naturalness of the primeval world. &*林良(約1424-1500之後),廣東南海人,字以善。善花果翎毛、煙波水禽景致。早期畫法工細精巧,後改以水墨寫意作畫,看似輕鬆不經意,實挺健厚實。帶有草書筆意,在迅捷中見沈穩。 本幅為林良重要的代表作,繪鷹迴身俯衝而下,眼神銳利,被追逐的八哥倉皇奔逃,神情驚駭。情境和筆墨均富於動感,尤點葉的躍動筆法,平添不安氛圍。逸筆草草間,不失對景物特徵如禽鳥喙足等的準確描繪。 (20110913)&* Lin Liang (style name Yishan) was a native of Nanhai in Guangdong. He excelled at painting fruits and vegetables, birds and other animals, and scenery of waterfowl and mist-covered waters. His early painting method was fine and delicate, but later he turned to working in the “sketching-ideas” manner using monochrome ink, appearing relaxed and natural yet strong and solid. His style has the brush manner of cursive script calligraphy with a sense of steadiness appearing in its quickness. This is an important representative of Lin Liang’s painting. It depicts a falcon circling back and swooping down, its eyes focused sharply on the mynah, its prey, which rushes away in a flurry and appears panicked. The sentiment and use of brush and ink are both quite dynamic, especially the leaping brush method of dotted leaves that adds an unsettled atmosphere to the scenery. The untrammeled brushwork is cursive but does not depart from fidelity to the subject, with such details as the beak and claws of the birds still being rendered with accuracy. (20110913)
