前言

黃炳鏐

家父的畫冊出版了，寧缺勿濫可能寧遲勿缺更加合適，出版的日期一延再延，在家母百歲壽辰前了結心願，真是好事成雙。出版畫冊能夠在第三代孫輩們的努力，孫子黃卓斌先生和孫婿禤承德先生細心拍攝，最後由孫婿陳郁中先生設計團隊的籌劃下終於成功地出版了。

畫冊有精裝本和平裝本兩種不同的設計，精裝本封面以素色為主題，高雅大方，附合父親的獨特個性，以手工製作因此數量有限，不能廣泛的發行。平裝本封面則以色彩繽紛的設計，附合父親花卉的奔放風格。父親的畫風，在廣州市立美術學院奠定了深厚的基礎，修習西畫素描、水彩和油畫，師從黃君璧大師學習中國山水畫，所以他的畫作無論是山水風景或花鳥，都是以西方的風格、實景寫生，對於那些著名中西畫作，他都是欣賞有之、我從未見父親臨募古人畫作。

我記得小時候週末不用上課的時候，大多時間都會帶著我和他的學生一早遠赴郊外離島，尋找奇花異草，風景優美的景點，實地寫生或速寫。回到家裡或學校教室裡，我在一旁幫忙磨墨，父親就專心地把看到的感覺以高超畫技，所畫的風景，莫不生動活潑，躍然紙上。其間他更坐船環繞香港及離島多次，終於完成了他第一幅長卷 “香港”，後來遠赴寶島台灣，以另一幅長卷”寶島台灣”， 由台北直到恒春半島；今次畫冊未能把這兩愊長卷包含在內，至為可惜。不過父親周遊列國，台灣日本歐州美國都有他的足跡，這本畫冊內山水畫就以他曾經到過的地方留下的痕跡，提供後人的參考。父親嶺南畫風的花鳥也是以寫生為主，他到處找尋奇花異草，就是要把他的百花冊完成，其實早在上世記五十年代已經有了第一本百花冊，是一百幅不同的花鳥組成，後期就是一本厚厚的冊子，收藏在美國孫子那邊，大部分的花鳥都在這本新書與大家分享。
Preface

Wong Bing Lou

All or nothing, or shall I say better late than never, my father s paintings have finally been published! The publication was delayed several times, but what could be more perfect than having it arrive in time for the celebration of my mother’s 100th birthday in 2019?

Creating this album was a family affair. Initially, his grandson and his grandson’s wife Dr. Robert and Emily Wong, and Mr. Java Huan, his grandson-in-law, carefully photographed each piece to capture the delicate details in my father’s artwork. Finally, this album was assembled under the planning, editing, and design work by his grandson-in-law, Mr. Jone Chen and his design team. Partridge Publishing printed the first run of this album to be circulated worldwide.

I love that this album of his paintings possesses an elegant and confident look, perfectly reflecting the unique characteristics of my father, as well as matching his unrestrained style and personality.

My father developed a solid foundation in the fine arts while studying at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. During his time at the academy, he studied Western paintings, sketches, watercolors and oil paintings. Additionally, he studied Chinese landscape painting under the guidance of the Chinese Master artist, Huang Jun-Bi.

In this collection, you will notice the unique blending of these two differing influences. The Western influence can be seen in the foreshortening and depth of the landscapes, especially in one of my favorites, the bamboo forest, where I feel like we may be able to enjoy the scenery from within. Having found his style, my father spent his lifetime painting landscapes from around the world.

While he studied, admired and analyzed all of those famous ancient Chinese and Western paintings, he only took inspiration from them. Never in my life did I see him copy or replicate them.

Looking back at my childhood, I fondly remember the weekends and holidays when my father would take me along with his students to the outskirts of Hong Kong’s islands to find exotic flowers that we had never seen before. We would sketch and sometimes paint watercolors of them to the backdrop of the beautiful scenery of the open sea complete with the sunrise or sunset, and of course, the fishing villages.

When we went back home or to school classroom, I would help my father grind ink while he concentrated on what he saw from the field trips and started his printing with superb painting skills. I remember the scenery in his artwork being lively and vivid.

In the 1960s, he took several ferry trips around Hong Kong island, and completed his first long scroll entitled Hong Kong. Afterward, he went to Formosa Taiwan and painted another long scroll called Formosa, which captured the scenery from Taipei to the Hengchun Peninsula. It is a pity that these two long scrolls cannot be included in this publication.

Throughout his life, my father traveled around the world to sketch the most beautiful places: Taiwan, other Asian countries, Europe, Canada, and the United States. The landscape paintings in this album provide evidence of his travels.

The flowers and birds of my father s Lingnan style are largely based on the sketches from his travels. He always searched for exotic plants and flowers in the places he visited. The paintings they inspired filled two separate albums. His first album consisting of 100 paintings of flowers and birds was created in the 1950s, but has since been lost. The second one was a single book where my father painted exactly 100 flowers into its pages. Some of the images are captured in this collection.

I hope you enjoy this retrospective of a lifetime of my father’s work.

憶父親

憶父

黃炳華

懷君荔香秋月映，散步雲溪晚色靜。
畫山畫水畫花卉，寫生寫實寫意境。
家慈百歲期可待，嚴父畫冊盼引頸。
子孫滿堂齊慶賀，桂花庭園毓才穎。
