HE BAILI-THE ZI ZAIXUAN COLLECTION
He Baili (Paklee Ho, born 1945) is a prominent figure of the Lingnan School of Painting. He has loved painting since a very tender age and began studying Lingnan style painting with Wu Yuji, a pupil of Zhao Shao'ang. To maximize He's exposure to authentic calligraphy and painting, his father He Qiyuan always invited collectors and friends for gatherings of art appreciation. This paved the way for He's future collecting endeavors.
He Baili started to build his collection of Chinese painting while practicing the art as an amateur painter. In 1965, he bought from Jigu Zhai his first collectible: Orchid by Pan Tianshou, so as to learn its brushstrokes and spirit through constant observation. In 1966, at the age of 21, He held his debut solo exhibition. He was very honoured to have Zhang Daqian inscribe one of his paintings, which became the cover piece of his exhibition catalogue and the talk of the town. Since then, He changed his painting style to xieyi landscape in ink. His refined taste for ink is reflected through his collection of Qi Baishi's shrimps and crabs (Lot 2674, 2675 and 2676).
He Baili paints and so he collects, for he believes that good paintings impose positive impact on painters and improve the inner qualities of connoisseurs.
Before emigrating to Canada in 1984, He paid visits to friends of the Chinese painting circle, like Li Keran the owner of Shiniu Tang, Tang Yun the renowned painter and collector, Xie Zhiliu, Yang Renkai, Ching Shifa, etc, so as to learn from them. He sets high standards in collecting. For example, Lady with Fan by Zhan Daqian (Lot 2681) is a gem which depicts the charm and sensuality of a beauty in gongbi style. Throughout his artistic career, He Baili keeps on painting at Zi Zaixuan while collecting in China and overseas, such as Sunflowers and Bird (Lot 2678), Waterfall (Lot 2677) by Zhao Shao'ang, Herding under the Willows (Lot 2683) by Li Keran and Morning Mountains (Lot 2679) by Huang Binhong.

張大千 仕女 設色紙本 立軸
題識：卷繡簾，梧桐秋院落，一霎雨添新綠。 對小池閑立殘粧淺，向晚水紋如榖。 凝遠目。恨人去寂寂，鳳枕孤難宿。 倚欄不足。看燕拂風簷，蝶翻露草，兩兩長相逐。 雙眉促。可惜年華婉娩，西風初弄庭菊， 況伊家年少，多情未已難拘束。那堪更趁涼景， 追尋甚處垂楊曲。佳期過盡，但不說歸來， 多應忘了，雲屏去時祝。 大千居士。爰。
鈐印：大千、張爰之印
