王雲五 行書賀張群金婚暨壽詩

水墨粉紅虎皮宣紙 立軸


款識︰時會方開國,人文萃上京。朝堂方接坐,華蓋已相傾。大度神霄闊,風儀玉宇清。群流歸碩望,舉世重勳名。甫定西遷轍,遙揮北指旌。敬勤期破虜,志慮在消兵。運祚千秋盛,烽煙一旦平。及公調鼎鼐,邀我佐鈞衡。草木回生意,關河遍頌聲。恩極施化域,威著受降城。隆典宣行憲,磐才屢主盟。肩隨三度選,胸次廿年情。末議叨嘉重,論交感竭誠。步趨捐禮數,契好到忘形。姻婭通門閥,彝倫屬晚生。謙懷偏序齒,稍長忝稱兄。玳瑁雙棲穩,星霜五十更。人欣連理秀,花看並頭榮。情歎描蛾筆,心通引鳳笙。駐顏皆不老,健步喜同輕。贈句珍如璧,投瓜愧報瓊。公曾頒吉語,我合祝長庚。天眷宜加秩,高秋好舉觥。當頭瀛海月,祗傍壽星明。

岳軍先生暨夫人五十年金婚同慶七三雙壽。王雲五敬祝。


鈐印︰「岫廬」。


註︰本幅題詩收錄於〈王雲五全集〉,詩題〈張岳軍伉儷金婚同慶七三雙壽〉,成於「五十年九月二十五日」,故可推本幅亦相若時期所書。

張群「中行廬」藏書畫 (編號6102-6137)


張群(1889-1990),近代政界大老。早歲投身革命,民國肇建,襄助極峰,掌外交,主省政,討袁、北伐、抗日,無役不與。本輯所集,著眼於民國政壇元老寫贈者,範圍自護國運動以迄抗日戰爭,如李烈鈞、吳稚暉、戴季陶等,所涉人事,在在映照其歷史發展軌跡。尤以黃克強書迹,乃討袁役後寫贈,譚延闓跋曰乃黃氏「絕筆」,足堪寶之。


他嗜藝術,二十年代末起矢志收藏,其「中行廬」藏品今春於蘇富比釋出時,集中於三十年代京滬名家畫作。本輯承襲此脈,匯聚同期名家寫贈成扇、扇面及冊頁, 集南北藝文界人士逾廿家,如謝玉岑、賀天健、蕭愻、王一亭、傅增湘等,皆精心繪製。


輯中亦集政壇藝壇友好為其祝嘏之作,如趙恒惖、王雲五等,其中于右任及黃君璧將其名句「人生七十方開始」賡詩書贈,蓋其歷盡風雲變幻,練就曠達胸懷,於養心養生尤有所得。親若手足之張大千,於節慶贈畫,亦書「金石仁義」聯誌念兩人半生莫逆、患難相扶之情誼,並贈以「大風堂」訂製文房用品及擺設,足證對摯交惦記之情矣!

FROM THE COLLECTION OF CHANG CHUN (LOTS 6102-6137)


Chang Chun (1889-1990) was a prominent figure in modern Chinese politics. Earlier in his life, he dedicated himself to serving the revolutionary cause and was instrumental in the founding of the Republic of China. He took on the duties of foreign diplomacy and provincial affairs, and heroically engaged in the Second Revolution, Northern Expedition, and the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. The highlight of this collection is the gifted writings of eminent Republic officials, spanning from The National Protection War to the Second Sino-Japanese War. With works by notable men including Li Liejun, Wu Zhihui and Dai Jitao, this bespoke curation unravels the gripping narrative of Chinese history. Taking center stage is the writings of Huang Xing, gifted in the aftermath of the Second Revolution. Referred by Chinese political Tan Yankai as Huang’s last work executed before his death, it attests to the utmost rarity of the piece.


A savant in arts, Chang began his lifelong journey as a refined connoisseur in the late 1920s. The Collection of Chang Chun made its debut first this spring at Sotheby’s , focusing on artworks by renowned Beijing and Shanghai artists of the 1930s. Following its footsteps, this season gathers together gifts of fans and albums from the same period, meticulously crafted by around 20 notable Beijing-Shanghai artists, including Xie Yucun, He Tianjian, Xiao Xun, Wang Yiting and Fu Zengxiang.


This collection also features benedictions from intimate friends in politics and art, such as Zhao Hengti and Wang Yunwu. Among the ensemble of cherished works, Calligraphy Couplet in Xingshu, gifted by Yu Youren and Huang Junbi, immaculately encapsulates Chang’s life experiences: the expression ‘Life begins at seventy’ applauds him for his continued self-cultivation amidst any turbulence in life. Close confidante Zhang Daqian once presented to Chang, on the occasion of a festival, the painting Summer Fruits and Blossoms and a Calligraphy Couplet in Xingshu, as a tribute to their half of a lifetime of brotherhood through thick and thin. Gifted too were custom-made Dafengtang vases and small plates – undoubtedly a testament to their profound camaraderie!
