Written and compiled by Dr. Peggy Pik-ki Ho of the Art Museum of CUHK, this publication is a journey of retrospection and reconstruction of Guangdong painting and calligraphy from CUHK’s collection with in-depth and original research. It leads the readers to delve into the mindset of Guangdong cultural elites in relation to arts, culture, and history. On the occasion of celebrating the Golden Jubilee of the Art Museum, we hereby commemorate the unparalleled efforts and enthusiasm of these pioneers in their quest for applying their learned knowledge of statecraft to practical affairs and contributing to the nation’s intellectual legacy. The catalogue consists of five chapters: “Introduction,” “Subtlety and Silence have Merits,” “The Reluctant Choice of Shunning from the World,” “The Century of Arts and Culture,” and “The Sweeping Wing and the Elegant Bamboo,” with about 130 paintings, calligraphic works and objects. Prof. Ho Chuan-hsing wrote the title of the catalogue. Conservation of exhibits was carried out by Master Xie Guanghan, Leung Kai-hin, Yeung Mung-chuk, and Woo Tsz-ming. The exhibits were photographed by Tang Ming-leung and the exquisite catalogue was meticulously designed by Lo Kwan-chi. 本書由文物館何碧琪博士編撰,這是從靜水流深至廣納百川的回溯與重塑的歷程,透過館藏廣東書畫精品及深入淺出的文字,引領讀者重新思考廣東文化精英的思想源流與藝術、文化及歷史的關係。在文物館金禧館慶之際,特此紀念廣東先賢們為實踐經世致用、爭取在全國知識界佔一席位所付出超乎常人的努力和熱誠。本圖錄包括五章:〈緒論〉、〈虛靜有為〉、〈無奈避世〉、〈文藝世紀〉及〈風滿筠清〉,共收錄書畫、文物約130件。 何傳馨教授為圖錄題字,謝光寒師傅、梁啟軒、楊夢竹及胡子明細緻修復選件,鄧明亮專業拍攝,精美圖錄由盧君賜匠心設計。
