亚洲艺术中心将在2020年巴塞尔艺术展首届举行的线上展厅，展出马白水个展并表现他宏大目标：“以绘画搭一座沟通中西特质精神的彩墨之桥”。马白水（1909-2003）是台湾画会时代之前的大师，透过这次展览，呈现艺术家三个阶段：大陆写生期／自然描写期（1948以前）、台湾表现期／自然写意期（1949-1974）、纽约创作期／自然创作期（1975-2003）；以此回应了这样的疑问：人人都会画风景画，那“马白水风格”的风景画具有何种特色？

Ma Paisui traveled in China on a bike to paint outdoors during the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, and a desire to travel the world budded. He journeyed to Taiwan from Shanghai during his painting expedition in December of 1948, and he spent two months to paint and travel around the island on foot. Ma's watercolor works of this period reveal exquisitely elegant hues while both his observation and expression appear precise and rigorous; he expertly maneuvers the ratio of water and paint to fully express the characteristics of watercolor paintings.
While it was by complete chance that Ma first came to Taiwan, he has lived in Taiwan for 27 years since his 1949 "Ma Paisui Traveling Exhibition" at Zhongshan hall and the teaching career at the NTNU that soon followed. Ma Paisui once said, "I love Taiwan, and I dedicate my life to portraying Taiwan", confessing his most genuine feelings. We see splendid southern sceneries in many works created in this period; as Ma Paisui's use of colors grew more exuberant, he began painting themes outside of landscape: cityscape, still life, portrait and more have all been the topics of his diverse practice. Ma Paisui's creative ideals are simple and precise. "Paint of its form, express of its life", he once said; thus, he seemed even more at ease during the Taiwan Expressive Period, also known as the Nature Freestyle Period. A pivotal change in Ma Paisui's work occurred in the late 1960s: his Western subjects were originally created using watercolor, but he began utilizing ink, xuan paper, calligraphy brush and other traditional ink painting tools to overthrow the confines of established forms, giving the works an appeal and charm that is unique to ink. Art scholar and famed watercolor painter Lee Quan-pui described it as "boldly and decisively stripping away all the inessentials to preserve the most indispensable, breathing new life into form, color, line, and plane".

Ma Paisui introduced the concepts of "ink" and "Liubai" (Leaving blank space) into the creation of watercolor works. His works have matured in this period and seemed layered with a touch of firmness from the use of ink. After relocating to New York, he grew bolder in his use of color ink in hanging scroll compositions. The tonality of ink and color allow his works to take on greater substance and piercing strength. The viewers seem to be peeking through a thin veil of fog as the rocky cliffs, shorelines, clouds and the magnificent nature subtly emanate muted poetic qualities. These works of later period reflect his life after retirement - he seemed to have gradually settled and begun self-exploring after some traveling and quiet meditation. Having traveled in various places, he remained his heart in Taiwan as he continued to create works with Taiwan as the main subject.
关于艺术家
About Artist
马白水（1909-2003），辽宁省本溪县人，1929年毕业于辽宁省立师范专修科。毕业后任教于辽宁、北平等地，1937年卢沟桥事变爆发中日战争后，马白水一路南下写生纪录风景，最后于1949年渡海到台湾，并在台湾师范大学任教27年，1975年旅居美国。
马白水师从于刘海粟习画，有着深厚的水墨创作根底，其笔法、笔触力度厚实。虚实对应、三远法等传统水墨画理论在他的画中充分体现，富有多彩与浓厚的文人意境。马白水将水墨联屏的理念转化为西方风景水彩画，使画面分割，结合移动视点的构图法，突破水彩画的尺幅限制。另一方面，艺术家所编撰的《水彩画法图解》于1957年出版，此书于1971年被纳入台湾国中美术教材。1979年更获得美国水墨画协会年展华盛顿金牌奖的殊荣。马白水作品被众多公共机构收藏，包括台北市立美术馆、高雄市立美术馆、台湾美术馆、辽宁省博物馆及本溪博物馆等。
重要群展为1977年纽约布鲁克林博物馆及1980年林肯中心之展览，重要个展包括1992年、1997年与2018年亚洲艺术中心“马白水个展”和1999年历史博物馆“彩墨千山 : 马白水九十回顾展”等。近期重要回顾展包括2007年辽宁省博物馆"彩墨寄乡情——马白水先生捐赠作品展”，2009年由高雄市立美术馆举办的“彩墨行旅：马白水作品捐赠展”，以及2010年由台湾美术馆举办的“寰游鉴境：马白水的水彩艺术（捐赠及典藏）展”。
Ma Paisui (1909-2003), born in Benxi County, Liaoning Province, graduated from Liaoning Provincial Normal College in 1929. After graduation, he worked as an art teacher in Liaoning and Beijing. With the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937, he traveled along the East coast of China and painted the landscape that he saw. In 1949, he finally settled in Taiwan. He thereafter taught at National Taiwan Normal University for 27 years. After 1975, he lived and worked in New York.
The solid grounding in traditional Chinese ink painting helps Ma to enjoy the manipulation of colors and brushstrokes in his paintings. It's worth noting here that watercolor landscape painting and traditional Chinese ink painting can be seen to share an impressionist approach. This allows Ma to translate with greater ease the main principles of traditional Chinese ink painting into the practice of Western watercolor painting, such as a composition structured around the contrast between black and white, or the division of the painted surface into three sections. His watercolor paintings are therefore full of the impressionistic charm of Chinese literati painting, and rich in color and emotion. He resorted to the methods of the multiple-panel painting to overcome the limitation of the paper size. Besides, in 1957, he edited The Illustrated Guide to Watercolor Painting Technique, which was included in the national curriculum in 1971 to be taught at the middle-school level. In 1979, he was awarded the Washington Gold Medal Award of the Sumi-e Society of America Annual Exhibition. Ma's public collection includes Taipei Fine Art Museum, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts，Liaoning Provincial Museum and The Museum of Benxi.
His important international group exhibitions include Brooklyn Museum, New York in 1977 and Lincoln Center in New York in 1980. His important solo exhibitions include three shows entitled "Ma Paisui Solo Exhibition" at Asia Art Center in 1992, 1997, and 2018, and "A Retrospective of Ma Paisui at Ninety" at National Museum of History, Taiwan in 1999. His recent retrospective exhibitions include "A Sense of Nostalgia by Color Ink: An Exhibition of Donated Works by Ma Paisui" held by Liaoning Provincial Museum in 2007, "Journeys with Ink and Colors: An Exhibition of Donated Works by Ma Paisui" in 2009, organized by Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, "Life's Footsteps: An Exhibition of Donated Works by Professor Ma Paisui" organized by Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in 2010.
