He excelled at painting birds-and-flowers and animals. He also enjoyed reciting poetry, forming a fine complement to his painting. The most famous painter of reeds-and-geese in monochrome ink was Lin Liang (fl. latter half of 15th c.), whose brush and ink was free and unrestrained. Lü Chi (fl. 14th-15th c.) was a painter who excelled at refined brushwork using colors, but he also did an occasional work in monochrome ink. Although Lü’s brushwork was not as coarse as Lin’s, it still had a relaxed and untrammeled quality. In this work is a flock of wild geese by the shore of a river. The brushwork is elegant and refined, being quite similar to the Lü Chi style. &*劉炤,生卒年不詳,字巢雲,會稽(今浙江紹興人)。善畫翎毛、花卉,且喜吟詠,詩畫皆精妙絕倫。 明代畫水墨蘆雁的名家,當推活動於十五世紀後半,用筆豪放瀟灑的林良。另一位是善畫工筆設色花鳥的呂紀(活動於十四至十五世紀間),偶亦有水墨之作,用筆雖不及林良粗獷,但也灑脫雅逸。畫史記載,劉炤擅長巨幅大畫。本幅描寫江邊野雁群聚,筆意雅秀,與呂紀一派風格較為接近。(20110408)&*Liu Zhao, whose birth and death dates are unknown, went by the style name Chaoyun. A native of Guiji (modern Shaoxing, Zhejiang), he excelled at painting birds and flowers. He also enjoyed reciting poetry, forming a fine complement to his painting. One of the most famous Ming dynasty painters of reeds-and-geese in monochrome ink was Lin Liang (fl. latter half of 15thc.). His use of brush and ink was free and unrestrained. The other was Lü Ji (fl. 14th-15th c.), who specialized in fine-line depictions of birds and flowers in colors but occasionally did ink paintings. Although his brushwork is not as coarse as Lin Liang's, it is also free and elegant. Records in painting histories indicate that Liu Zhao specialized in monumental paintings. In this work depicting a flock of wild geese by a riverbank, the brushwork is elegant and closer to the school of Lü Ji.(20110408)&*劉炤、生没年不詳、字は巣雲、会稽(現在の浙江省紹興市)の人。翎毛(鳥獣)や花卉画を善くし、吟詠を好んだ。詩文と絵画のいずれにも極めて優れていた。 明代の水墨蘆雁画の名家には、15世紀後半に活動した、豪放でありながら瀟洒な筆遣いの林良がいる。もう一人は、緻密な描写と着色花鳥画で知られる呂紀(14∼15世紀の間に活動)で、呂紀にも水墨作品があり、用筆は林良のような荒々しさはないが、その画風にはやはり洗練された趣がある。画史によれば、劉炤は巨幅の大作を得意としたという。本作には水辺に群れ集う雁が描かれている。秀麗な趣は呂紀一派の画風にやや近い。(20110408)
