Lot 649(背面)

  本幅《芍药》直接征集自张蒨英家属,是她留赠的遗产。张蒨英(1909-2003),江苏无锡人,1936年毕业于南京中央大学艺术系,吴作人则在一年前自欧返国,前往该系任教,两人谊属师友之间。1937年抗日战争爆发,局势动荡,政坛显要,文艺名流,溯长江而上,齐聚渝州,吴、张两人亦随之西迁。

  张蒨英性格开朗,活跃于重庆艺坛,斡旋四方,或协助徐悲鸿筹办中国美术学院,或支持画家办艺术个展,因此获赠答谢书画甚夥,均属艺术家佳作。1946年,在徐悲鸿多次争取斡旋下,张蒨英与同窗费成武等四人,共赴英国,研究艺术。重庆期间和临别时的师友赠画,亦随张氏远渡海外。

  1947年春,吴作人亦经徐悲鸿推荐,应英国文化委员会之邀,赴英国游学访问,并于伦敦大学下属斯莱德美术学院(The Slade of Art School)举办西北主题画展。张蒨英、费成武前往协助,旧日情谊再续于异国,展览期间,众人留影合照以兹纪念。

  1953年,张蒨英与费成武在英伦共结连理,二人收藏亦合而为一,为“雾明楼”所属。2006年,香港苏富比(微博)举行“雾明楼专拍”,费张二人所藏始曝于众,其中有傅抱石金刚坡时期风景、仕女,徐悲鸿十二生肖册页等,画作品质之高,令人赞叹。相较于数目可观的书画作品,张蒨英所藏油画目前已知仅本幅《芍药》与孙宗慰《青年自画像》(本场Lot 650)两件。

  《芍药》描绘洁白桌面上,一尊普蓝色宜钧花瓶装点着正怒放的芍药花。此作为吴作人典型的写实主义风格,造型精准生动:花器瓶身修长、线条流畅、长圆腹向下渐收,形似观音瓶;寥寥阔笔呈花瓣婀娜轻盈之态,笔触堆叠显窑变釉色之绚丽微妙,少许亮白,点出花器晶莹玲珑的质感。吴作人一向擅长营造冷暖比对与明暗呼应的效果,深红缀浅粉花簇,凛冽深蓝映土调红棕,虽一冷一暖却清丽绝俗,气韵温婉雅。

  对比吴氏重庆时期的其他作品,如1942年《防空洞》(诚轩2007春季编号921拍品),本幅静物整体基调明快,色彩层次丰富,亮堂通透的空间内,一束暖光照射在花朵上,营造出温馨浪漫的氛围,有别于《防空洞》沉闷压抑的气息,而折射出吴氏创作时轻松平和的心境。
