極簡水彩大師 蕭如松

「故鄉風景之美一樣可以媲美世界名畫中風景的水準，如何成為世界名畫大師完全端賴繪畫的人有無世界名畫家的素養，如果具備了，竹東的風景一樣可以成為世界名畫。」
蕭如松

1922年生於台北的蕭如松，是台灣美術史上知名的水彩畫家。蕭如松的大量風景畫作中，描繪的多是他居住地的景觀。儘管在成長的過程中經歷了政權迭替，從日據時代到國民政府掌權，蕭如松一生從來沒有離開過台灣。而他對居住地的認同感，皆體現在筆下的詩意風景中。畫如其人，蕭如松的作品流露出嚴謹有秩、簡潔優雅的調性。《樹林小屋》（拍品編號5130）和《春花遍野》（拍品編號5131）皆是蕭氏不透明水彩畫的代表，構圖俐落，層次沉穩。他捨棄了傳統水彩的渲染淋漓，而改用有力明快的線條和簡練純粹的大塊筆觸。簡潔的畫風不但呈現了豐富的遠近層次，更營造出靜謐清涼、充滿韻律的視覺感受。
