More Highlight on the Christie's Auction (Click Here)
( 北國風光) 吴冠中, HK$316萬吳冠中創作了極少數以北方浩瀚疆土為題的油畫，本次拍賣推出的《北國風光)，更是此題材在市場上唯一流通的作品，極為珍罕。七十年代期間，許多藝術家遠赴鄉間，把鄉土情懷注入藝術創作中，《北國風光》正是此時期的巔峰之作。吳冠中揉合了中國筆墨的細膩和西洋油畫之色彩，為具象的風景注入抽象的意念；整幅作品以登高俯覽的視野角度下構成，讓觀者一覽山川、人文景緻，如雪峰、松柏、飛瀑，充分展現中國北方自然景象的磅礡氣勢。
(珍妮小姐畫像) 徐悲鴻, HK$2496萬
徐悲鴻自1925年初次造訪新加坡後，便與南洋的華僑社會建立了密切關係；抗日戰爭期間，他更曾遷居至新加坡，《珍妮小姐畫像》便是他在此期間，受比利時駐新加坡副領事勃蘭嘉之委託，為其粵籍好友珍妮小姐而創作.

Starry, starry night... DonMcLean- Vincent (Click to Listen)
Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.
Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will...
My Choice from Christie's: 邱亞才CHIU YA TASI (1946, B. Taiwan) (Click Here)
邱亞才擅長人物畫，受莫第尼亞里、常玉等畫風影響，人物畫呈現其孤絕意識，似在追尋闡述一種徘徊在聖賢影子中的獨白，形成其近於文人畫家的獨特藝術風格。
