拍品資料及來源

墨之戲

宣紙的光彩如一種暴風雨後極溫馨的寧靜。
─趙無極

幼年即向祖父學習書法,趙無極對水墨實而非常熟悉;杭州藝專時期,亦曾精進書法水墨技巧。初抵巴黎時,他刻意迴避墨的使用,以免被定型為來自中國的水墨畫家。而後,在七十年代中,直至兩千年,趙無極的水墨成了他恣意揮灑的場所。四十年代嘗試掙脫傳統的枷鎖,五十年代企圖援引傳統作為創新的來源,六十年代融匯而成他個人獨特的抽象風格,七十年代他再度援引傳統,而此次,不再是意象上的啟發,而是重拾中國古老的媒材─紙與墨,自此幽游於中國傳統的虛與實之間。1994年十月,趙無極前往東京明治館,受日本天皇(Majesty Akihito)與皇后(Empress Michiko)接見,授予《高松宮殿下紀念世界文化獎》(Praemium Imperiale)。趙無極藝術生涯中曾數度前往日本,拍品編號1011、1013與1015所用的特殊訂製竹節紙,為其向日本皇室御用之紙品專門店構買,早年張大千亦曾於此購買紙墨。
