張大千 行書「夢覺」五言聯
水墨紙本 立軸 一九六三年作
畫家署簽
簽書:（上）一聲塵夢覺。（下）萬劫佛燈明。大千居士書。
款識:一聲塵夢覺,萬劫佛燈明。癸卯夏,蜀郡張爰大千書。
鈐印:「張爰之印信」、「大千居士」、「大風堂」。
註:大千與佛家夙有淵源,早年嘗入空門,即使日後遁出,佛法始終長縈於心。本聯内容蘊佛理,一聲驚醒塵夢,歷萬劫方點明佛燈,忽如人生因緣,豁然開朗,誠覺悟之語。大筆書寫,似力有萬鈞,寫畢署簽留存,屬自珍之作。
一九八一年,葆蘿加州「可以居」家中罹祝融之災,部份房子被燒毀,存於居室中之書畫幸虧未被波及,保全無損,惟畫軸包首見煙熏之跡。本幅和編號6074張大千〈紅葉鶺鴒〉、6081張大千〈行書宋人雜記二則〉、6083于右任〈草書五言聯〉包首上煙燼痕跡,即當日所留,遭火劫而無恙,似冥冥中獲神明護佑。

張葆蘿兒女珍藏書畫（編號6065-6085）
張心一（1931-2017）,名約,又名葆蘿,大千三子,出生於安徽郎溪。一九四九年政局變異,隨大千定居海外的兒女中,以葆蘿最年長,也能讀寫中文,陪伴父親時間最久,隨侍筆硯外,為家中大小事務打點奔走,擔當半個當家人,辛勞可知,亟得乃父信賴。葆蘿擅畫,七十年代,父子在美國曾屢次舉辦聯合畫展,大千在其潑墨作品上題「老夫自有傳家筆,任笑元章善譽兒」,以米芾父子作比,對其傳承衣鉢讚許有加。
本輯作品屬葆蘿所藏,泰半乃大千饋贈,囊括四十至八十年代,面貌豐富,且非尋常可見之内容,不少乃自娛自賞。尤難得者,為數件自國内時期已為大風堂珍藏之作,日後去國,四海漂泊,仍長久携帶寶藏,小心呵護,如大千業師曾熙為其所書之〈楷書六言聯〉、一九四八年〈儗宋人青綠山水〉巨扇,堪稱其成扇王者,觸手若新,應極少開啟,不輕示人。此外,一九六四年大千為葆蘿書〈行書七言聯〉,實乃經意之筆,盛載父子深情。人物之緣,聚散有時,而父子情眷,家族記憶,將長伴作品永存！
