香港私人收藏近代名家畫（編號1307-1310）

本輯出自香港資深新聞工作者馮連均（1917-2010）收藏。馮氏，廣🐎東人，筆名「李志文」或「李文」廣為人識，長期服🐻務於〈華僑日報〉，歷任編輯、總主筆等職。他對經濟深有研究，評論文章常見於報端，甚具影響力。

工作之餘，嗜中國古典文學，與文藝界人士時有過從，內地改革開放時期，畫壇名家與他亦有往來，故獲贈作品甚多。

註：一九四八年底，大千先生抽身暫避內地紛亂戰火，南來居停於港澳兩地，訪友作畫，並舉行展覽，借得片刻寧靜之地，遂留下佳作不少。本幅寫於此段期間，紅花綠葉，或含苞，或怒放，高低相顧，態活潑，色鮮豔，構圖雖簡，卻生趣自然，直是一片明媚春光，如迎新歲。

吳灞陵得之，添題於詩堂，後轉歸馮建均，蓋兩人仝好文藝，兼於〈華僑日報〉具共事之誼。
