展览介绍

仕女作为中国古代人物画的专门题材,至迟在唐代中期已经发展成为一种独立画科。唐周昉、张萱乃当时之专门名家,周昉并有“周家样”之目。宋代以后,仕女画已经相当流行,传世宋画仕女,可谓屡见不鲜。明清时期,中国古代仕女画最为兴盛的时代——《红楼梦》开篇中叙“金陵十二钗册”,每一钗皆系写一图,以寓言其生平遭际之况,画面除了以自然物象来间接暗示之外,其中多以仕女为意象来直接表现,即可见其流行之概焉。

本次展览汇集了馆藏仕女画精品,时间跨度从清代中期至近现代,其作者既有仕女画名家如费丹旭、改琦之流,亦有一些名不见经传而难得一见的小名家。画面构图或取庭园一角,或状闺阁之内,或在芳草之地,或行山水之间;配之以梧竹蕉石之景,而尤喜点缀春柳与梅花;情态或吹箫于花树之下、或拈毫于红窗之前、或嬉戏于家庭之内,亦有女红、葬花之属。形式上立轴、屏条、手卷、团扇、摺扇、册页皆有,技法则水墨写意、工笔设色以及浅绛、白描兼备,风格大致以工细秀淡为主,意境则以婉约娴静为尚。明清以来江南闺秀之美,于此可见一斑。

Preface

To portray the fair lady is one special motif of figure painting in ancient China, and became an independent branch no later than mid-Tang dynasty. Renowned painters in this respect in the Tang dynasty included Zhou Fang and Zhang Xuan. This kind of painting had become quite popular since the Song dynasty and many were passed down through generations. It reached its peak in the Ming and Qing dynasty. For instance, A Dream of Red Mansion, one of the four most important classical novels in Chinese history, depicts twelve ladies with a painting for each and implicates their life course. Apart from natural objects, the images of fair ladies were often used to present their life directly, which also shows how popular this motif was.

This exhibition has selected high-quality fair lady paintings from mid-Qing dynasty to modern times. The artists include famous ones such as Fei Danxu, Gai Qi, etc. and also some lesser-known but rarely-seen ones. The composition of the painting is varied with garden, chamber, greens, mountain designs and plants like plum blossoms and willow. Ladies are doing different activities including playing the vertical flute, practicing calligraphy or painting, having fun, doing embroidery, etc. The paintings are in ink or color or other skills, in forms of hanging scrolls, handscrolls, fans and album leaves, with focus on delicate description and elegant style. This exhibition will provide visitors with access to the beauty of Jiangnan area in the Ming and Qing dynasty.
