劉紀文舊藏近代名家書畫 （編號 1322－1332）

劉紀文舊藏近代名家書畫於二〇一三年春推出首輯，內容以二十世紀書畫界作品為主。本輯重點則置於劉氏與國民政府黨國要員之關係，輔以廣東畫家精繪之作。劉紀文（1890-1957），廣東順德人。受革命思潮影響加入同盟會。辛亥革命後赴日留學，返國後任職軍政府審計局局長。一九二三年往英國進修，並考察歐美各國之市政規劃建設。二六年回國，被任命粵🦋省農工廳廳長。翌年，國民政府定都南京後，歷任要職，在掌首都、廣州市政期間，發展基礎建設，大肆興革，令市容大有改觀。三七年調任審計部，一度署理部長職位。四九年政局遽變，他輾轉赴香港，復遷居東瀛。一九五四年定居台灣，擔任總統府國策顧問、光復大陸設計委員會委員之職。五六年因病赴美療養，五七年病逝於洛杉磯。

註：本幅乃胡漢民書所賦七律一首，收錄於其〈不匱室詩鈔〉。胡漢民與劉紀文皆粵籍，從革命、民國肇建、參與政務，即使政海波濤，宦途起伏，彼此關係仍保持密切。〈革命元老劉紀文傳〉中，記述胡漢民自海外考察畢回國，旋返南京出任立法院長一職，此因劉紀文銜命轉達蔣介石邀請所促成。後胡氏被軟禁湯山，他數番說項援救未成，深引為疚。

劉氏主政廣州期間，建「海珠橋」，胡漢民親題製匾，匾🎃毀而手迹一直為劉氏珍藏，傳至後人。前年底，其家人攜返回國，慨贈廣州市政府。化私為公，此羊城文物遂得永傳矣！
