梁秀中

尺寸:93x90x3(含框)

梁秀中（1934-），廣東順德人，台灣水墨畫家。為著名戰史畫家梁中銘先生長女，自幼受家族藝術風氣薰陶，後入師大藝術系就讀，受黃君璧、溥心畬、金勤伯、吳詠香、林玉山等名師指導，奠下深厚的水墨畫基礎。梁秀中曾獲國家中興文藝獎章、中華民國畫學會金爵獎，多次擔任全省美展評審，作品獲歷史博物館、國父紀念館、中正紀念堂典藏，亦應邀至日、韓、美等國展出。此外，更投身美術教育不遺餘力，曾任師大美術系主任與藝術學院院長。
基於家學影響之故，梁秀中專攻人物，善寫山水、花鳥。其父梁中銘與伯父梁鼎銘、梁又銘當時合稱「藝壇三傑」。生於抗戰時期的梁鼎銘畫風融合中西，又擅畫馬；梁又銘曾編畫報，精於人物、動物等；其父梁中銘本為漫畫家，對水墨與人物亦多有表現。梁秀中深受家庭教育影響，最喜愛描繪人物。
此作刻畫中正紀念堂迴廊民眾一景，描繪三個人物之間的有趣互動。畫面中最右方站立的女性與坐著拉二胡的老者相互唱和，女性情態愉悅，搭配手勢傳達吟唱表演之感。坐在最左方的老者拄著拐杖，凝神聆聽，觀者彷彿經歷一場和諧共鳴的音樂饗宴。相較於前景人物的生動細膩姿態，背景的處理則用沒骨寫意的筆法拉遠距離，引導觀者看到後方的中正紀念堂。整體用色清雅活潑，讀來舒暢適意。（508字）

Liang Hsiu-chung (1934–), born in Shunde, Guangdong, is a Taiwanese ink painter. The eldest daughter of the celebrated war painter Liang Chung-ming, she was immersed in an artistic family environment from childhood. She later enrolled in the Department of Arts at National Taiwan Normal University, where she received instruction from renowned masters including Huang Chun-pi, Pu Hsin-yu, Chin Chin-po, Wu Yung-hsiang, and Lin Yu-shan, establishing a deep foundation in ink painting. Liang has received the National Chung-Hsing Literary and Arts Medal and the Golden Goblet Award of the Chinese Painting Association of the Republic of China, and has served on multiple occasions as juror for the Taiwan Provincial Fine Arts Exhibition. Her works are held in the collections of the National Museum of History, National Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, and Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, and she has been invited to exhibit in Japan, Korea, and the United States. She has also devoted herself to arts education, serving as head of the Department of Fine Arts and dean of the College of Arts at National Taiwan Normal University.

Drawing on her family background, in her youth Liang specialized in figure painting, and is adept at landscapes as well as bird-and-flower painting. Her father, Liang Chung-ming, and her uncles Liang Ting-ming and Liang Yu-ming were known at the time as the "Three Heroes of the Art World." Born during the Sino-Japanese War, Liang Ting-ming's style blended Chinese and Western elements, and he excelled in painting horses. Liang Yu-ming edited pictorial publications, and was skilled in figure and animal painting. Her father Liang Chung-ming was originally a cartoonist, and had significant accomplishments in ink painting and figure painting. Liang Hsiu-chung was profoundly influenced by her family environment, and figure painting remains her greatest love.

This work depicts an everyday scene in the roofed corridor of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, capturing an engaging interaction between three figures. On the far right, a standing woman sings in response to an elderly man seated and playing the erhu; the woman's expression is animated and joyful, and her gestures convey the feeling of a musical performance. Seated on the far left, an elderly man rests on his cane and listens intently—the viewer feels as though present at a harmonious and resonant musical gathering. In contrast to the vivid, detailed rendering of the foreground figures, the background is treated with boneless freehand brushwork to draw the eye back toward the memorial hall. The overall use of color is fresh and lively, and the work is a pleasure to read.
