馬壽華(1893-1977)，字木軒，號小靜，出生於安徽省渦陽縣北門文明大街，台灣國畫家。幼時就讀私塾，喜歡繪畫，後赴北京入皖省中學堂、河南法政學堂。民國初建，歷任多省檢察廳檢察官、法院委員、司法部民事司科長、南京市政府秘書長、司法行政部主秘。1947年來台任台灣省政府委員、土銀董事長、司法院秘書長、行政法院院長、故宮管理委員、中國美術協會首任會長、中國書法學會理事長、全國美展副會長、總統府國策顧問，受聘東吳大學法學院。1950年於台北中山堂舉行個展，開台灣藝壇個展之先，與台籍文化藝術圈人士友好，任省展國畫部審查委員。參加自由中國美展，1958年與畫友組成「七友畫會」，除國內外，並赴歐、美、亞、非、日各地展出。
北京求學期間，於琉璃廠觀賞古今字畫，興趣益增。公暇之餘，常喜研究，與畫友、藏家多所切磋，藝道並進。戰後從其習畫者多已知名畫界，如釋廣元、任博悟、容天圻、張大千夫人徐雯波等。
繪畫為自娛，能作山水、松竹、花卉，並擅指畫。畫風溫厚有餘，用筆精謹，設色靜雅，畫如其人。勤臨古畫無數，兼採古今名家眾長，貴能入古出新。山水取法清初四王，上溯元明諸家及董巨，承繼南宗法脈；墨竹則以蘇軾、文同、李衎、趙孟頫為典範，通其筆意，抒發性靈，並成就自我風貌。(507字)

Ma Shou-Hua (1893-1977), styled Muxuan and also known as Xiaojing, was born on Wenming Street in the North Gate area of Guoyang County, Anhui Province, and became a celebrated Taiwan traditional painter. As a child, he attended a private school and showed a passion for painting. He later went to Beijing to attend the Anhui Provincial Middle School and the Henan School of Law and Politics. In the early days of the Republic of China, he served as a procurator in the procuratorates of many provinces, a member of the court, chief of the civil affairs department of the Ministry of Justice, secretary general of the Nanjing municipal government, and chief secretary of the Ministry of Justice and Administration. In 1947, he came to Taiwan, where he served as a member of the Taiwan Provincial Government, chairman of the board of directors of the Land Bank, secretary general of the Judicial Yuan, president of the Administrative Court, member of the board of directors of the National Palace Museum, first president of the Chinese Art Association, chairman of the Chinese Calligraphy Association, vice president of the National Art Exhibition, advisor to the Presidential Office on National Policy, and employed at the School of Law of Soochow University. In 1950, Ma held a solo exhibition at Zhongshan Hall in Taipei, pioneering personal exhibitions in the Taiwanese art scene. He was friendly with local cultural and art circles in Taiwan, and served as a member of the review committee for the traditional painting section of the Provincial Exhibition. He participated in the Free China Art Exhibition. In 1958, he founded the "Qi You (Seven Friends) Painting Association" with fellow painters. His paintings were exhibited not only at home, but also in Europe, America, Asia, Africa and Japan.

During his studies in Beijing, his visits to the Liulichang area, known for its collection of ancient and modern calligraphy and paintings, heightened his interest in painting. In his spare time, he often studied painting and exchanged ideas with fellow painters and collectors, furthering his artistic path. After the war, many of his painting students, such as Shi Guangyuan, Ren Bo-Wu, Rong Tian-Qi, and Xu Wen-Bo (the wife of Chang Da-Chien), became famous in the art world.

Ma painted for pleasure, creating landscapes, pine and bamboo scenes, and floral works, and was adept at finger painting. His painting style was warm, precise in brushwork and elegant in color choice, reflecting his personal character. He diligently studied numerous ancient paintings, integrating the strengths of renowned artists past and present, emphasizing innovation rooted in tradition. For his landscape paintings, he followed the style of the Four Wangs of the early Qing Dynasty, referenced various artists from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties and Dong Ju, and inherited the techniques of the Southern School. His bamboo ink paintings took Su Shi, Wen Tong, Li Kan and Zhao Meng-Fu as models, captured their brush spirit and expressed his soul, thus establishing his own unique style.
