為賀饒宗頤教授百歲華誕，民政事務局主辦的「香江藝韻 ─ 饒宗頤教授百歲學藝展」已於去年十二月在香港中央圖書館展覽廳順行完展。現香港大學饒宗頤學術館精選作品十數，於學術館展覽廳再次展示，讓大家能近距離細意欣賞。

       今次的展品以「珠聯璧合」為主題，是饒教授與香江藝術家合作的作品。饒教授於上世紀四十年代末移居香港，主要從事教育及學術活動，書畫創作在當時是他治學之餘的活動。那時，他和彭襲明、蕭立聲、萬一鵬諸位先生時常聚會，興起則合作繪畫。此外，他與香江其他藝術家，如趙少昂、楊善深、丁衍庸、黃君璧、馮康侯、陳語山等亦有不少合作作品。從這些作品，可以見到饒教授與香港藝術界之交往，也顯示出香港藝術界之一個重要的現象，就是大家無論派別，不論觀點，都為中國繪畫藝術的發展付出了最大的力量。
