香港收藏界名宿梁勁予(1911-2003)，其部份藏品經香港蘇富比選列成輯，自二○○四年起分批釋出，琳瑯滿目，精彩紛呈，引起各方垂注，競爭逐之者眾，成績斐然。蓋梁氏問業於南北藝壇名家，復與香江書畫文藝界往來密切，直接求得或獲贈誌念者，皆非泛泛應酬之作。復早嗜收藏，當年香港集古齋得「天時地利」之助，內地書畫多循此途散佈各方，他竟日往訪搜求，十數年如一日，憑其慧眼為取向，不囿於畫名大小，故「百川匯海」，歷年積累，蔚然可觀矣！今輯所聚置於成扇及近人書法兩大門類。

成扇乃掌中把玩之物，歷來為風雅之士所好，梁勁予所集溯自清中葉以迄民國，無拘地域、流派，俱擇萃而貯之。本輯可窺見他好筆法工緻精細、設色秀逸清麗者，尤重成扇兼書畫兩面相配之妙。如張石園、蕭蛻闇；吳琴木、吳敬恆；劉凌滄、徐宗浩；熊庚昌、王師子等，或山水、或人物、或走獸，輔以行、楷、篆等諸體，而職業畫家襯以政界耆老、或文壇碩宿，通收相得益彰之效。舊王孫一脈如溥儒、溥伒、溥僩等更為他所重。即如陳子清，尚未廣被賞識，但其〈翠嶺蒼松〉（編號1116），筆法上追衡山，遠接宋人，清爽秀麗，俊逸不凡，可見梁氏品味、識見不隨流俗！

另書法部份，多出自在港金石書法家筆下，尤以馮康侯三幅對聯，書體變化多姿，異於慣常所睹，洵屬佳構。而錢賓四先生及饒宗頤寫贈之條幅及對聯，足見梁氏與士林之交往，可謂「談笑有鴻儒」矣！至於鄭午昌〈行書十五言聯〉（編號1130），運筆酣暢，墨彩淋漓，結構骨肉勻稱，十五字貫通一氣，句意放逸，襟懷曠達，堪稱鄭氏書法中之極品。
