歐豪年

尺寸:136.5×70 (180×84)

歐豪年（1935-2024），廣東茂名縣人。十七歲起，即跟隨嶺南派大師趙少昂習畫並遊歷，畢業於嶺南藝院，妻子朱慕蘭同為水墨畫家。1968年，畫家伉儷於歷史博物館聯展，同年獲聘中華學術院士。1970年由港來臺，開始於中國文化大學美術系擔任教授。歐豪年年輕時即嶄露頭角，二十一歲參加東南亞巡迴畫展，國際聲望卓著，展覽邀約遍及日、美、英、德、奧、荷等國，並曾應邀至芝加哥藝術學院美術館進行中國畫專題講座，被推崇為具有東方人文精神的代表畫家及嶺南派後繼之秀。
歐豪年少時即得嶺南派真傳，寫意風格率真豪曠富意趣，兼擅沒骨花鳥、動物、人物與山水畫。來臺初期，於陽明山寫生之作仍帶有明顯嶺南派「中西折衷」之特質。例如1972年的《校景與梅花》，以沒骨法描繪前景梅花，背景建築則以透視法畫出仰觀的視角。此外，歐豪年亦擅長書法、詩文，書風以行草見長。
此作《望嶽圖》為2006年所作，畫面右下以重墨群青、石綠等色兼皴帶染描繪山嶽氤氳氣質。本件手法與1975年《岡川》舊作，無論在用筆用色、山勢構成等方面皆十分雷同。較大的差異是，《望嶽圖》表現左下方旅者拾級而上，仰望高山，左上方留下較大空白，構圖倚重於下半部；而《岡川》則是小舟與大山間的對話，觀視自然與人的互動，深刻有趣。（503字）

Ou Hao-Nian (born 1935) is a native of Maoming County, Guangdong. At the tender age of 17, he began to study painting under the master of the Lingnan School, Zhao Shao'ang, and traveled extensively. His wife Chu Mu-Lan, a graduate of the Lingnan Art Institute, is also a renowned ink painter. In 1968, the couple exhibited together at the National Museum of History, and in the same year, both were appointed academicians at the Chinese Academic Institute. In 1970, Ou moved from Hong Kong to Taiwan and began his tenure as a professor in the Fine Arts Department of the Chinese Culture University. From an early age, Ou Hao-Nian showed exceptional talent. At the age of 21, he participated in the Southeast Asian Traveling Art Exhibition and received great international acclaim. His exhibition invitations spread to countries such as Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. He was even invited to the Art Institute of Chicago to give a special lecture on Chinese painting, and was praised as a representative painter who embodies the Eastern humanistic spirit and is an outstanding continuation of the Lingnan School.

Since his youth, Ou Hao-Nian has been a true heir of the Lingnan School, his freehand style is bold, genuine and full of charm. He is skilled in painting flowers, birds, animals, figures and landscapes. In his early days in Taiwan, his plein air works in Yangmingshan still carried the obvious Lingnan characteristic of Eastern and Western eclecticism. For example, his 1972 "Campus Scene with Plum Blossoms" depicted plum blossoms in the foreground in a boneless style, while the buildings in the background were drawn in perspective, showing an upward view. In addition, Ou Hao-Nian excels in calligraphy and poetry, especially in running and cursive script.

This 2006 work, "Mountain viewing," depicts mountains in the lower right corner using heavy ink and colors such as ultramarine and stone green, combined with textures and staining techniques. This work is similar in technique to his 1975 work "Gang River," both sharing similarities in brushwork, color application, and mountain compositions. The main difference lies in the depiction of the traveler climbing the steps and looking upward in "Mountain viewing," with a large empty space left in the upper left, concentrating the composition in the lower half. In contrast, "Gang River" captures the dialogue between a small boat and the mountains, reflecting the fascinating interaction between nature and man.
