Footnotes

吳青霞 南無觀世音菩薩 設色紙本 立軸 一九四五年作

款識:
南無觀世音菩薩。乙酉(1945)秋九月,篆香閣主吳青霞敬寫。

鈐印:吳氏、青霞

註:吳青霞以畫鯉魚和蘆雁知名,仕女人物亦精絕。其人物畫取法高古,上溯唐宋,她曾反復臨摹唐代仕女畫和李公麟的人物,亦步武唐寅、仇英諸家,故其筆下仕女清健大方,不似近世流行之嬌弱態。是幅中觀音細目圓臉,端莊豐腴,蔚為唐人氣象,衣飾、髮冠、線條、敷色皆見敦煌壁畫影響。
吳青霞成名頗早,上世紀三十年代即於上海嶄露頭角,與張大千等名家往還,大千曾讚她「畫風老辣,出手成熟」,觀是幅知其所言不虛,而取徑敦煌壁畫,是否亦緣於大千對敦煌藝術的發揚?
