席德進 1974（左下）

This work is in very good condition. The background has a light wash of colour, probably resulting from creation and consistent with the aging process of the material.

「中國人順從自然，以純自然為尚，所以畫花卉生長的姿態，中國人走中庸之道，以不變應萬變，在『氣韻生動』、六法中打轉…。最能表現中國毛筆的筆力、書法勁道、線條變化的是寫意花卉。大千的荷幹，一筆直下，通達上下，這是西方畫筆所無法達到的效果。中國有一筆畫，也是在表現筆勢的力量流暢，一氣呵成。」
