域外藝緣：張大千贈英京舊友潑彩作品 （編號1228－1229）

上世紀初，新文學之風席捲文壇，名家輩出，同期活躍於文化圈子且結秦晋之好，陳源、凌叔華即為其中佼佼者。本輯所錄，乃張大千寫贈陳氏伉儷，時彼此寄迹域外，異鄉作客，惟畫家遊歐之行，時有相晤，友誼不輟，遂精繪潑墨潑彩，自三巴寄呈，以誌舊誼。

上款：「叔華」即凌叔華（1900-1990），祖籍廣東番禺，生於北平。一九二二年入讀燕京大學外語系，開始文藝創作。二十年代中至三十年代中期間，先後於報刊發表散文和小說，廣獲好評，與冰心、林徽音等同為當時活躍文壇之女作家。一九二七年，與陳通伯結縭。陳氏曾主編〈現代評論〉之〈閒🐼話〉專欄，凌叔華則在該刊發表短篇小說〈酒後〉，一舉成名，締結良緣，堪稱文壇佳侶。後隨陳源赴英，先後在新加坡南洋大學、加拿大多倫多大學教授中國近現代文學，直至一九八九年底返回中國大陸定居，翌年病逝於北京。其著作包括散文、小說、評論及戲劇等。

註：本幅與編號1228之〈空山隱居〉，乃畫家同期送贈陳氏伉儷𝐆，故畫風以至選用材料如一，供作配對，以﷽「教授」稱之，與稱呼陳通伯之親暱，雖有分別，惟作品之精彩程度，無分軒輊。

一九六三年，張大千於紐👍約舉行其北美首個大型個人畫展，展ꦺ覽圖錄中有關其生平之詳細英文介紹，即由凌氏執筆撰寫。
