永锡难老——張浚生序言

序

南國六月，流光溢翠，一派生機，我們十分欣喜地在此舉辦”永錫難老——唐雲百齡誕辰紀念展” ，面對唐雲先生卓越的藝術成就和高雅深湛的鑑定修養，飽賞藝術精神盛宴，共同緬懷這位給人們帶來美的享受和美好祝福的藝術家前輩。

唐雲先生一九一零年生於杭州，歷任上海畫院副院長、代院長、名譽院長。唐先生出生時值晚清，正值中國備受西方列強欺凌的社會，歷經戰亂滄桑，激發了他愛國、奮發的熱情。受家庭的影響，他幼年就受到藝術的欲蒙，為他一生轉益多師奠定了基礎，同時，父親熱情好客，廣交天下志士能人的家風，養成了他豪爽任俠的秉性。青年唐雲倜儻瀟灑，多才多藝，有杭州“唐唐伯虎之譽，晚號“老藥”、“藥翁” ，是取醫藥救民於水火之意。他的一生也正是這樣，對藝術“愛畫入骨髓” ，一片至誠；朋友肝膽相照，一往情深；對民眾社會，以濟世懸壺的態度，卓有奉獻。許多人至今還記得當年他為地方慈善畫畫捐畫，不僅捐畫，連在賓館創作的住宿餐飲費都自掏腰包的佳話‘唐雲的老友知己、著名畫家賴少其先生戚歎唐雲一生：“多少好事己辦完！”

唐雲先生與粵、港、澳素有淵源，早在二十世紀五十年代初，他就應邀前往香港辦過個展，大受歡迎。改革開放後，他煥發了藝術青春，從八十年代中期到九十年代初，在新加坡、香港、深圳等地舉辦了許多展覽，臺灣、澳門的展覽也在計劃之中。然而天不假年，唐先生在病中不無遺憾地說： “以今觀之，去澳門和臺灣辦畫展的事，恐怕不一定能成行了。“在唐先生仙逝以后，唐家二公子唐逸覽為實現父親遭願，特別到臺灣舉辦了晝展。然而，唐先生想在澳門舉辦展覽的遭願卻一直未能實現。值此唐唐先生誕辰百年之際，唐先生的展覽終於來到了澳門與廣大澳門朋友見面，唐先生在天之靈也會感到欣慰的。

唐雲不僅是傑出的畫家，還是一流的書畫鑑定專家，他一生鍾愛八大、石濤，收藏了許多價值連城的古代精品，除書畫外，更

有八把曼生壺，晚年自號畫室為“八壺精舍”‘早在一九八四年底，當他與老友賴少其共同在深圳舉辦“唐雲賴少其書畫作品暨藏品展”時，即被人驚呼“敢於把自己的作品和收藏的精品共展於一室，中國的畫家中除唐雲，恐怕沒有第二人。”這對唐先生而言是勇氣和自信，對廣大觀眾則是眼福，這次來澳門展覽的作品，比當年深圳展在數量和品質上均要更勝一籌，蒙澳門同仁和廣大觀眾的厚愛，將足以告慰唐老先生在天之靈。

我本人曾長期在杭州市和港澳地區工作，與一生以“杭人唐雲”自署的唐先生頗有淵源。我十分欣慰地能出席老友唐雲的展覽，再一次祝賀展覽圓滿成功，並對澳門藝術博物館的精心準備表示咸謝。

preface

The verdant and vigorous South China lends vitality in june to one of its delightful lands-Macao.We are very honoured to host the Unfading Memory:Exhibition in Commemoration of the Centennial Anniversary of Tang Yun’s birth in this very palce and moment,in recognition of Tang Yun’s outstanding artistic achievements and his masterly connoisseurship.In enjoying this feast of arts and spirits,we an joinly commemorate this elder in the filed of arts who has brought us enormous visual enjoyment and wonderful blessings.

Born in Hangzhou in 1910,Tang Yun serve as vice President,Aciting President and Honorary President of the Shanghai Painting Academy.Born in the late Qing Dynasty– a peried when chica suffered interminable chaos,wais and Western invasions –Tang developed great patroptism and passion,which he channelled into rejuvenation of his nation through dedicated woke.Influenced by his mamily,he received enlightenment in the arts at an early age,which also equipped him with the knowledge to master various schools of art throughout his life.At the same time,he grew to be as forthright and chivalrous as his father was hospitable ,and had a wide of friends,many of whom were individuals of great ability or high aspiration.Tang Yun was hospitable and an all rounder during his teens and was thus acclaimed Tang Bohu(a talented poet and painter)of Hangzhou.

His pseudonyms in later years were Laoyao and Yaoweng,meaning’to save people from deep distress with medication’.His pseudonyms also tell the story of his life.He demonstrated his sincere ‘love for painting deep in his bones’,he treated friends with wholehearted passion and faith,and he unselfishly served and contributed to the community.Today,many people canstill recall that he not noly donated paintings to local charity activities but even paid for his own accommodation,food and beverages when staying in hotels to create.Renowned painter Lai Shaoqi,a bosom friend of Tang Yun’s,emtionally claimed that’Tang Yun has done all good things in his life!’

Tang Yun established ties with Gangdomg,Hong Kong and Macao a long time ago.During the early 1950s,he was invited to host a solo exhibition in Hong Kong,for which he received high acclaim.Following the reform and opening of China,he con tributed to the revival of rhe arts.From the mid-1980s to the early 1990s he origanised a great number of exbihitions in Singapore,Hong Kong and Shen Zhen.He also planned to host exhibitions in Taiwan and Macao.Unfortunately,he did not enjoy a long enough life to accomplish his goals.Tang expressed regret over these goals when he was ill,saying:’Now it seems that Imay not be able to organise painting echibitions in Macao and Taiwan.’

After Tang passed away,his secondson Tang Yilan specially organised a painting exhibition in Taiwan to realise his father’s unfulfilled wishes.On the occasion of centennial anniversary of Tang Yun’s birth.Tng’s exhibition finally arrives at Macao,greeted by friends from Macao.It is believed that Tang’s soul,resting in heaven,will indeed feel gratified.

Tang Yun was not only an outstanding painter but an excellent connoisseur of calligraphy and painting.Throughout his life,he greatlyabmired Ba Da Shan Ren and Shi Tao and chollecting many invaluable ancient fineworks includingcalligraphy,painting and eight Mansheng teapots.During his latter years,he even named his den the ‘studio of eight Great Teapots’.Long before in late 1984,when he and his friend Lai Shaoqi jointly held the Calligraphy,pianting and collection Exhibition by Tang Yun and Lai Shaoqi in shenzhen,people exclaimed in surprise that:’Among all chinese painters,Tang Yun is probably the only one who dares display both his works and collection in same place.’

The exhibition,on the one hand,represented Tang’s courage and confidence,while on the otherhand it delivered great visual enjoyment to the gentle public.Compared to the exhibition held in shenzhen,the exbihits to be showcased in the forthcoming exbihition in Macao are larger in quantity and better in quantity.Tang – resting in heaven-will definitely be very glad to see the support and admiration from Macao compatriots and all exhibition goers.

Having worked in HangzhouCitymHong Kong and Macao over the years ,I feel a special kinship with Tang -who signed as ‘Tang Yun,person of Hangzhou’.I am very grateful to be attending my friend Tang Yun’s exhibition.Once again,I wish the exhibition every success.
