高劍父早年東渡日本研習畫藝，得觀竹內栖鳳（1864-1942）、橫山大觀
（1868-1958）、菱田春草（1874-1911）等名家作品，深得啟發。東洋畫中
注重經營氣氛和時空光影變化的畫對他和其他嶺南畫家如其弟高奇峰、陳
樹人等影響尤深。此幀「深山聞夜猿」幾乎全以淡墨渲染樹幹，遠方明月
懸空，數隻猿猴攀爬枝椏之間，捕捉夜月猿啼的剎那時空氛圍，反映了日
本畫對他的啟迪而形成嶺南派的獨特風格。
In his early days, Gao travelled to Japan to study art and was inspired by
the works of Takeuchi Seiho (1864-1942), Yokoyama Taikan (1868-1958)
and Hishida Shunso (1874-1911). He and his brother Gao Qifeng, friend
Chen Shuren and other painters of the Lingnan School were strongly
influenced by Japanese painting that capture atmospheric ambience, a
sense of momentum and timely transformation of light and shade. This
work “Monkeys at Night” is characterized by tree trunks painted in light
ink washes, a bright moon hanging in the sky and several monkeys
climbing among the branches. The artist vividly captures the momentum
of monkeys’ activities under the moonlight, reflecting the influence of
Japanese painting on the artist.
