Seven generations of his family had been involved with painting and calligraphy. He himself excelled at painting trees-and-rocks, pines, and bamboo as well as an occasional landscape. He often liked to use very dry ink, giving his brushwork a feeling of utmost refinement within its severity. He himself considered calligraphy as one of the most important things in his life, followed by bamboo. He was an able poet and connoisseur, amassing a large collection. In this painting, three stalks of bamboo in monochrome ink rise upwards. The stalks are upright and powerful, while the leaves are numerous and crisscrossing, yet still retaining an orderly feel. The layers of ink tones are natural and the work is permeated with the elegant tone of literati depictions of bamboo. This painting was donated to the Museum by Ms. Sun Tuo-tz’u. &*余紹宋(1882-1949),浙江龍游人。號越園,別署寒柯。書畫七代家傳,善寫木石松竹,間作山水。喜用焦墨,筆法謹嚴中寓有瀟灑之致。生平自稱字第一,竹次之。能詩,精鑒賞,富收藏。 此幅繪墨竹三株,挺拔向上。竹幹勁挺有力,竹葉紛繁而不亂,墨色層次井然,富有文人寫竹之雅韻。 孫多慈女士捐贈於民國62年。(20110204)&* Yu Shaosong (sobriquet Yueyuan, self-styled name Hanke) was a native of Longyou in Zhejiang. Coming from a family of seven generations who practiced painting and calligraphy, he excelled at depicting trees, rocks, pines, and bamboo, also sometimes doing landscapes. He often enjoyed using very dry “scorched” ink, giving his brushwork a sense of utmost refinement and careful precision. He himself considered calligraphy as first in his life, followed by painting bamboo. He was an able poet as well as connoisseur, amassing a collection of his own. This work depicts three stalks of bamboo done only in monochrome ink as they rise through the composition. The stalks are upright and powerful, the leaves numerous yet not chaotic. Ink tones are layered and orderly, giving this painting much of the elegant harmony of bamboo depictions by literati. Ms. Sun Duo-ci donated this work to the National Palace Museum in 1973.(20110204)
