吉星福代表張振芳教授伉儷捐贈文物目錄,頁96、178&*陳年(1876-1970),浙江紹興人。居北京,字半丁,以字行,又字靜山。深得海上派名家吳昌碩的器重,親授六法及篆刻要訣。擅繪畫,尤以寫意花卉最為知名;書工四體,行書尤富北宋米芾的韻趣。 本幅畫紅梅二枝,梅花的向背變化多端,構圖繁而不亂。筆法恣意,墨色蒼潤,筆力樸拙沉著。陳氏雖將金石書法的意趣寓於畫中,可是卻多了幾分俊秀清新的氣息。 吉星福先生捐贈於民國73年。(20110204)&* Chen Nian, a native of Shaoxing in Zhejiang who lived in Beijing, had the style name Banding (which he later went by) and Jingshan. He was highly regarded by the famous Shanghai School painter Wu Changshi, who personally taught him the “Six Methods” of painting and the guidelines to seal carving. Chen excelled at painting, being most famous for his flowers in the “sketching ideas” manner. In calligraphy, he practiced four major script types, his running script especially rich in the harmony of Mi Fu’s brushwork from the Northern Song. This painting depicts two branches of red plum blossoms turning back and forth in a variety of poses, the composition complex but not chaotic. The brushwork is unbridled, the ink tones rich and moist, and the brush force simple and steady. Although Chen adopted the idea of Bronze and Stone School methods of calligraphy into painting, he also added considerable beauty and freshness as well. Mr. Chi Hsing-fu donated this painting to the National Palace Museum in 1984.(20110204)
