陳文希 (1906-1991)

1906年生於中國廣東省,1948年移居新加坡,成為新加坡藝術史上重要的先驅畫家。1975年榮獲新加坡大學校長授予榮譽博士獎,為首位當地畫家獲此殊榮。

陳師從潘天壽,陳立足傳統繪畫之根,吸收西洋繪畫之精髓,融會貫通,更奠定了其在國際藝壇上大師的地位。1939年於南京舉行的中國第二次全國美展中,陳受到徐悲鴻的賞識與讚揚。同年,被列為英國畫室雜誌所選當代中國十大畫家作品之一。在其諸多作品中,鷺鷥與猿猴為代表佳作。為求生動形象,陳更是在朝夕觀察中作畫,深入地觀察繪畫題材,精神難能可貴。

陳老的繪畫成就受到世界各地的一致首肯,在世界各地舉辦畫展。新加坡政府為紀念他一生重要的藝術成就與貢獻,更是將其作品[雙猿枯藤】印製在新加坡五十元新幣的鈔票背面。2016年某春拍專長中,陳文希32件經典作品總成交額高達13,466,500港幣。實為近年收藏大熱。
