石魯　華嶽巍乎 | Shi Lu, Mount Hua
Est: $300,000 - $600,000
林維和舊藏石魯　華嶽巍乎水墨紙本　立軸款識︰山之嶽也，何其巍乎！寫華峰一面。石魯。鈐印︰「石魯」（手繪）。註：西嶽華山，奇險天下第一。石魯最愛寫華山，五六十年代，曾數次登臨，留下不少寫生。至七十年代，「華嶽松風」成爲固定主題，山水作品幾乎全部表現華山雄姿，筆墨抽象誇張，極具個人風格。華山與松之堅韌不折，昇華為人格品質之精神象徵，實為畫家自我心志寫照。從風格看，本幅大約作於七十年代，近松遠山，乃「華嶽松風」之經典構圖，物象高度概括。石魯寫華山，多竪長幅狀其高峻，並藉筆墨作肌理效果，塑造裸巖之粗糲質感，以突出其險絕嶙峋。本幅迥異尋常，畫面近方，滋潤的墨筆掃出山形，不作刻畫，僅憑墨之濃淡示陰陽向背、遠近透視，旨在凸顯華山巍峨磅礴之氣勢。前方蒼松則姿態夭矯，筆力剛强，與山形成濃淡、虛實之對比。山與松，分踞前後，毫不勾連，卻無割裂之感，只令人如親臨華山奇境，嘆其巍峨，扣緊主題。硃砂款書，於水墨留白的畫面中尤具視覺效果，點劃如刀琢，富金石氣。印乃手繪，配合整體風格，為此時期又一特色。 81.7 x 63.5 cm 32¼ x 25 in. --------------------------------------------- FROM THE YAYASAN LIM YEE HOH COLLECTION Shi Lu Mount Hua ink on paper, hanging scroll 81.7 x 63.5 cm 32¼ x 25 in. 林維和舊藏 (編號9030-9031) | FROM THE YAYASAN LIM YEE HOH COLLECTION (Lot 9030-9031) 林維和（1924-2005），原籍福建，生於馬來亞。祖輩早於十九世紀初自閩移居，發展橡膠種植、生產及貿易事業。林氏承祖業，活躍於當地僑界，熱心公益，且雅好文藝，大力出資支持當地交響樂團，亦資助當地藝術界發展。他因經商之故，不時往來香江、星洲等地，工務之暇，於拍賣會及畫廊致力搜購書畫，歷年所積極豐，以近現代名家之作尤精。是輯乃以林維和基金會名義釋出，所得款項，部份撥充公益，延續林氏一貫對藝術、音樂及文化之支持。

石鲁骆驼图立轴 "Camel herd" painting scroll, attributed to Shi Lu (1919-1982). Heart size: 180 cm × 95.5 cm. Autobiography: Shi Lu (simplified Chinese: 石鲁; traditional Chinese: 石魯; pinyin: Shí Lǔ; 1919–1982), born Feng Yaheng (simplified Chinese: 冯亚珩; traditional Chinese: 馮亞珩; pinyin: Féng Yàhéng), was a Chinese painter, wood block printer, poet and calligrapher. He based his pseudonym on two artists who greatly influenced him, the landscape painter Shitao and writer Lu Xun.[1] Shi Lu came from a wealthy land owning family in Renshou County, Sichuan Province. A student of the Chinese traditional painting style guohua, he studied at Dongfang Art College and West China Union University in Chengdu (1934-1940).[2] He joined the Communist Party of China and in 1949 at the first national assembly was elected and executive member of the China Artists Association. In 1955 Shi Lu travelled to India to supervise the overall art design of a Chinese pavilion at an international expo. In 1956 he attended the Asian-African National Art Exhibition in Egypt. During these travels he made many sketches of the people he observed developing his technique of Western drawing and Chinese brushwork. In 1959 he was commissioned to produce a large scale painting to be displayed in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the forming of the People's Republic of China.[3] By this time Shi Lu had developed a mature style and looked upon the opportunity to create what is now considered his masterpiece. The painting depicts Mao Zedong standing on the precipice of the Shaanxi Mountains in 1947, leading his troops against the National Revolutionary Army. The painting was criticized for the small image of Mao with a grand landscape and his back turned to the viewer. One critic saying that he appeared "isolated and at the end of the road". Shi Lu refused to revise the painting when asked and further uncompromising stances on his artistic vision lead to his eventual persecution by the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution. His art was publicly denounced, he was put in prison and not allowed to touch a brush for three years. During this time Shi Lu suffered a mental breakdown and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. After his release in 1970 he quickly returned to painting, taking some of the water color landscape sketches he had made in India and Egypt and adding a dense over layer of ink painting that exhibited a darker and more erratic style, similar to that sometimes found in the work of people with schizophrenia.[4] Auction results: From 1,162,775 to $135,056 – 30 paintings From: $128,625 to $51,450 – 30 paintings From: $51,450 to $10,038 – 25 paintings

His art was publicly denounced, he was put in prison and not allowed to touch a brush for three years. During this time Shi Lu suffered a mental breakdown and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. After his release in 1970 he quickly returned to painting, taking some of the water color landscape sketches he had made in India and Egypt and adding a dense over layer of ink painting that exhibited a darker and more erratic style, similar to that sometimes found in the work of people with schizophrenia.[4] Auction results: From 1,162,775 to $135,056 – 30 paintings From: $128,625 to $51,450 – 30 paintings From: $51,450 to $10,038 – 25 paintings

石鲁骆驼图立轴 "Camel herd" painting scroll, attributed to Shi Lu (1919-1982). Heart size: 180 cm × 95.5 cm. Autobiography: Shi Lu (simplified Chinese: 石鲁; traditional Chinese: 石魯; pinyin: Shí Lǔ; 1919–1982), born Feng Yaheng (simplified Chinese: 冯亚珩; traditional Chinese: 馮亞珩; pinyin: Féng Yàhéng), was a Chinese painter, wood block printer, poet and calligrapher. He based his pseudonym on two artists who greatly influenced him, the landscape painter Shitao and writer Lu Xun.[1] Shi Lu came from a wealthy land owning family in Renshou County, Sichuan Province. A student of the Chinese traditional painting style guohua, he studied at Dongfang Art College and West China Union University in Chengdu (1934-1940).[2] He joined the Communist Party of China and in 1949 at the first national assembly was elected and executive member of the China Artists Association. In 1955 Shi Lu travelled to India to supervise the overall art design of a Chinese pavilion at an international expo. In 1956 he attended the Asian-African National Art Exhibition in Egypt. During these travels he made many sketches of the people he observed developing his technique of Western drawing and Chinese brushwork. In 1959 he was commissioned to produce a large scale painting to be displayed in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the forming of the People's Republic of China.[3] By this time Shi Lu had developed a mature style and looked upon the opportunity to create what is now considered his masterpiece. The painting depicts Mao Zedong standing on the precipice of the Shaanxi Mountains in 1947, leading his troops against the National Revolutionary Army. The painting was criticized for the small image of Mao with a grand landscape and his back turned to the viewer. One critic saying that he appeared "isolated and at the end of the road".

Est: €400 - €600
Ink on Paper China Dimensions: 50 cm x 39 cm Shi Lu is famous for his wild, open painting style. In the 1970s he painted a lot of animal images such as cats, donkeys and tigers. Different from other painters, he preferred to “write” animals than to “paint” them, which is a special painting style of him. The two cats on this painting are standing facing each other and looking a little angry. Shi Lu expressed the emotion of the cats successfully with only a few brushstrokes. The two cats stood facing each other, quiet but angry. He used very few lines to express cats unhappy moods successfully. Dimensions: 50cm X 39cm
