方召麟，又名方召麐（读麟音）。（1914年1月17日－2006年2月20日），生于中国江苏无锡世家，当代杰出国画大师。
方召麐早年留学伦敦，中年定居香港。诞育八子，传奇一生。从艺八十载，守拙成道，真趣天然。
方召麐幼时学画，受国画大家钱松喦，陈旧村启蒙；辗转至香港后，拜师岭南名家赵少昂；中年又入大风堂拜师张大千。转益多师，终成自家独特面貌。
方老作为壮美风格的女画家，中国书画史上尚属罕见。她的作品笔挟风雨雷霆，石破天惊。稚拙朴茂，画格清雄，袒露童心。在继承传统和融合现代的方面，她出入传统，引书入画，骨气洞达，墨香流衍。由于留洋的经历，她的艺术也吸收了西方现代抽象艺术神韵之美，大胆构图，似之不似，不似之似。
在艺术风格上，她的小画不纤弱，大画不空泛。凌厉激扬，散藻漓华。山舞海歌，奇崛深质。貌似程式，而自由鲜活，大气充盈。方老的书法亦是碑帖渊源宽博，慈蔼闪烁女性温煦。为海内外画家所钦敬。
其父方寿颐为江苏纺丝厂的实业家，母为王淑英；13岁起跟随老师陶伯芳努力学习中英文并学国画，1933年随国画大师钱松喦、陈旧村学习山水画，同年其作品入选白浪画会之“无锡各团体书画联展”。恩师钱松喦欣喜之余盛赞她：“此女子日后必有大成。”
1937年，方召麐到英国曼彻斯特大学攻读欧洲近代史。[2]
方在香港经营出入口公司同时跟随国画大师赵少昂习书画，1951年与国画大师赵少昂到日本举办画展，于东京出版《方召麐近作集》。
1953年她拜国画大师张大千为师。
1954年入读香港大学，随国学大师饶宗颐、刘百闵等研读中国哲学及文学，1955年在港大举办办个人画展，1956年到英国牛津大学修读文学博士学位。
1970年在张大千美国之“可以居”随侍聆教一年，创绘山水作品。[2]
她的作品包括山水、花鸟、人物、书法等，国画成就备受各界肯定。她的作品保留老师的风格，作品色彩浓烈，用笔豪放；“书则刚毅沉厚，画则古朴浑拙，且多年锲而不舍，力求创新，三年一小变，十年一大变”（刘唯迈评），晚年作品多反映世局现况，如《船民图》、《祈求世界和平颂》、《平稳过渡长卷》。作品风格在中国艺术史上尚属罕见。笔挟风雨雷霆，石破天惊；稚拙朴茂，画格清雄，袒露童心。在继承传统和融合现代的方面，她出入传统，引书入画，骨气洞达，墨香流衍。小画不纤弱，大画不空泛。凌厉激扬，散藻漓华。山舞海歌，奇崛深质。由于留洋的经历，她的艺术也吸收了西方现代抽象艺术神韵之美，大胆构图，主动创新，开创了中国山水画史上的一种全新美学面貌。[1]
方召麐由1999年起由于体力退化未能如往常般每天练习7-8小时书画，2001年出席中央图书馆举办《书画缘─方召麐的艺术》个人书画展时需坐轮椅并由子女代答问题。[2]
2006年2月20日上午心脏病发入院，下午5时半因心脏衰竭在其子方津生为院长的圣保禄医院病逝，享年92岁。其后在香港殡仪馆设灵，并于跑马地天主教坟场与其夫方心诰合葬。

方召麐的父亲是实业家，在无锡经营纱厂，家境殷实。七岁之前，她的童年无忧无虑，学习书法绘画，并且随家庭教师学习英文。
七岁那年，战争爆发，方召麐的父亲带着妻女逃难。尽管已经坐上小船，还是没有躲过劫难，幼小的召麐亲眼看见父亲中弹身亡。
孤儿寡母重返无锡时，家里的工厂、财产都已消失殆尽。所幸她有一个坚强开明的母亲，坚持要她和妹妹上学。方召麐先后就读无锡竞志女中、上海启明女校、青岛德女中级学校和上海学华大学。同时拜师著名国画大家钱松喦、陈旧村学习书法绘画，还和老师一起办画展。钱松喦赞她“必有大成”。
留学伦敦抗战逃难

22岁那年，方召麐留学伦敦。方召麐幼时曾跟家庭教师学英文，这在当时的无锡非常鲜见，成为了她留学海外的良好准备。于是她进入英国曼彻斯特大学攻读欧洲近代史。并在那里结识了未来的丈夫方心诰。
二战爆发，他们从英国回到上海，上海也在打仗。辗转到香港，不久，香港沦陷。这时她已经是六个孩子的母亲了。十年里，拖儿带女地逃难，先后经过了桂林、贵阳、重庆、天津。虽然逃难万分辛苦，但生性乐观的方召麐还是给每一个孩子取了有纪念意义的名字：在天津生下的孩子，叫“津生”；桂林生下的，叫“林生”；安宁时期生下的双胞胎，叫“安生”和“宁生”。后来，这个叫方安生的女孩儿，成为了香港特区政务司司长
安家香港中年丧夫

逃难数十年，他们终于在香港安顿下来。方心诰开了一间进出口贸易公司，生活好转，方召麐也开始重拾画笔。
平静的生活下布满暗涌。突如其来的一场医疗事故，夺走了丈夫的生命。
方召麐像疯了一样抓着医生的白大褂要人。但丈夫终究是回不来了。八个孩子围着母亲一起哭，而此时，年纪最小的孩子也许并不明白父亲到底怎么了。
她没有哭，像失去了哭泣的力气。她不明白为什么经历了这么多的磨难，生活刚刚燃起一点希望，就被命运无情的掐灭。

方召麐与一般女性的不同之处就在于，她不会垮掉。料理完后事，她打理丈夫的进出口贸易公司供给家用，抚养孩子；并且真的重拾画笔，拜师岭南名家赵少昂。
方召麐十几岁时，蒙国画大师钱松喦对她进行传统方法的严格训练，具有了扎实的古典书画基础。但不幸的是，因为战乱逃难，她辍笔十年。拜师岭南名家赵少昂，是她十年后二度拿起画笔。
没过几年，方召麐的岭南派花鸟画已经炉火纯青，“换个款就是赵少昂”。然而方召麐却却隐隐感到，这不是自己喜欢的艺术。
苏州籍女画家顾青瑶，是方召麐的朋友。顾青瑶曾在上海和张大千“生平第一知己”李秋君在上海同办“中国女子书画会”，于是也与张大千交好。1953年，张大千正好旅居香港，顾青瑶看到方召麐在艺术上欲寻求突破，遂介绍她拜师张大千。
不久，张大千收方召麐为大风堂门人。
方召麐在四十岁时，又做出一项惊人的事，入香港大学读博士，四十二岁入牛津大学研究《楚辞》。

中国数千年的绘画史，被记住的女画家不足百位。民国女画家一部分是“玩票”性质，一部分是因为性别原因而被当做故事传播。
但方召麐不是这样，她在思考的问题是“怎么样才能画出具有新面貌的、让世界认可的中国画？”“怎么样能够为美术界吹送新风？”
这是一个站在艺术史角度上的思考，而并非只考虑到自己的艺术生涯。这样的工作本不应该交给一个女子，而是需要众多艺术家共同完成。但是，也只有她，有各种天时地利人和的条件，来迈出这样的一步。虽然婚后弃笔十年，但从幼时严格按照传统规矩进行的书法绘画训练，让她拥有了深厚的传统底子；而她留学伦敦时，游历欧洲，后来又曾在美国随侍老师张大千一年，接触到大量顶级的西方文化和现代艺术，因而，方召麐非常自觉的开始了在美术上中西结合的探索。她的日记和题款里经常写道“在伦敦画室试制新画”、“伦敦画室宽畅，试制新画，更能尽兴”等。
这个过程漫长而深入，绝非在国内看一些画册，或者是短短几天的观光所能达到。她在自身深厚的中西美术基础上，将传统笔墨、西画的抽象精神、以及自己对人生的认识，非常自然地融进了画里。我们可以看到西方抽象艺术的影子，以及中国传统大写意山水的精神；有唐代高古山水的造型，更有汉代墓室壁画的人物，以及她自己天然稚拙的美学趣味。种种因素在一起作用，形成一种全新的，但又的的确确脱胎换骨于中国传统绘画的艺术风格。[2]

方召麐的大写意山水风格一出世，就震惊画坛。笔墨势如雷霆闪电，大写意精神淋漓尽致。融汇西方抽象精神和中国传统绘画韵致。
她开创的书画风格，并没有一个确定的名字，勉强被后人称为“融合抽象精神的大写意山水“，特点是“稚拙”、“天然”、“大写意”。

方召麐拜师张大千时，曾随他游历欧美，并在“可以居”随侍一年，看到了毕加索、波洛克等西方现代主义大师的绘画作品。张大千看不明白毕加索的作品，但却晓得此翁的好处是几年一变，有“生”的特点。他同方召麐讲，艺术最高的境界便是“拙”与“生”。
方召麐却从波洛克等人的抽象线条中看出拙的气质，她把这种感觉用在中国画的山中，她的山很有“山舞银蛇”的味道，那些酣畅的线条，并不在表达着具体山石，而在渲染着一种气势。或宏大、或静穆、或开阔，或陡峭。山上树林茂密，但绝不是人迹罕至之处，她总要在山中辟出一条路，让人们可以登攀，而那条路尽头的庙宇，就是她心中的天堂。也许，当年她的命运行到绝望处时，也期望有这样一条路。
方召麐曾多次回到大陆，游历名山大川。祖国山河的雄壮让她不由自主地以厚重大笔来描摹。她的山非常明显的体现出“拙”、“重”、“大”的风范。不仅造型厚重，线条苍劲，山势豪壮，在设色上也多次渲染，在一个色调中造出深浅浓淡和独特的皴法。她或以赭石和朱红染出苍劲的秋山，或以浅花青画出皑皑的冬山，或以绿色夹杂红黄写出春山夏山，制造出青铜器铜绿般的效果，颜色厚重复杂，然而毫无媚俗之气。

同为无锡籍画家，明代的倪云林不肯在画中画人。有人问他原因，他翻了一个白眼说：“当世安复有人？”或许士大夫的生活，让他瞧不上世间俗人。但方召麐却在画中画很多人，这些人有高士，有挑夫，有妇女，有娃娃，有青年人在耕地，也有老年人在行舟。船上一定是堆满蔬果，房间里一定有馍馍。就连她的桃花树，也是那样遮天蔽日，开满了嫣红的花朵，笼罩着人们，让人觉得无比美好。
方召麐的人物来自汉砖上的画像，造型颇有古风，乐观可爱。汉代墓葬塑像最感染人的，就是他们无邪的笑容。不知是大汉国力昌盛所致，还是当时流行的时尚，那些造型都能让人捧腹，感受到“正能量”。方召麐的人物也是这样，总是让人面带微笑，或者忍俊不禁。即便是画吹箫的隐士，也让人感觉是“隐于市”，而非“隐于山林”。
她不光画古代人，还画现代人，画他们穿着泳衣泳裤在下雨的海里游泳，题曰“不怕风雨”。她以时事入画，画一大船人乘风破浪，题曰“平稳过渡”——这是为了香港回归而作。她还书写了香港回归纪念碑，由政府立在黄帝陵中。
方召麐的画里不仅是人物其乐融融，连房子都个个带有不同的表情。这种房子造型脱胎于黄土高原上的守田屋，以及无锡水乡的百姓居所，通常有一个门，两个窗户——在方召麐的线条中，被设计成了嘴巴和眼睛。她画的《家园》，仅仅看这些带有不同表情的房子，就可以捧腹许久。

她还画了很多窑洞。这些画来自于她的陕北之行。窑洞这种居住方式，是无比自然的。黄土高原上的人们依地势而挖出土洞，仿佛回到人类最早的穴居时代。但与山洞不同的是，窑洞住起来非常舒服，厚厚的黄土形成隔热层，冬暖夏凉。整面墙的窗户，也保证了采光。
方召麐喜欢这样的居住方式。她画窑洞，画窑洞里的人们，给他们的桌上画出一盘盘馍馍，门户上写着“丰年”和“国泰民安”。她给缺水的黄土高原引来溪流湖泊，再造出一条向上登攀的路，成为世界上根本不会存在的一处场景。
这是她的梦。她梦想世界能有一个桃花源，在那里人们安居乐业，没有战争，没有逃难，没有物质的贫乏，没有失去的痛苦。

方召麐一生勤奋，在艺术上用力尤甚，并在晚年试图变法，画面更加干净清淡，将拙重大的风格，提高到一种新的境界。
但时间是残酷的，即便是精力充沛，四点就起床作画的方召麐也过了花甲，走近耄耋。晚年的方召麐，身体不济，画画越来越轻描淡写了。但苍劲的笔墨线条还在，只是颜色越发纯净。水开始波澜不惊。人仍然是开心的，但不再热闹，山仍然雄壮，却少了咄咄逼人的味道。
一天，年逾九旬的方召麐画了一幅轻轻淡淡、干净无比的山水，被一直追随她的学生李典看到。李典心里咯噔一下，先生这是要去了，她画的是天堂啊。
2006年，方召麐因心脏病突发去世，终年92岁。
也许我们不该流泪，因为她去到真正的天堂了呀。

方召麐创造的桃花源般的画境受到了无数称颂。香港政府给她许多奖励，包括铜紫荆奖章，在地铁票上也印上她的画。海内外博物馆为她办了许多的展览，出版了几十本不同语言的画集，她还成为不同大学的名誉教授。无锡市政府成立了方召麐艺术研究会，在无锡博物馆开辟了方召麐书画陈列馆。她的画在拍卖行价格仅次于齐白石和张大千。书画家林散之为方召麐赋诗：今观方老眼界开，奇奇怪怪出人才。从今始识书画里，无法之中有法来。
1992年获香港艺术家联盟颁发“1991年画家年奖”；[2]
1996年获香港大学颁授荣誉文学博士学位；
2000年获东京富士美术馆最高荣誉奖；
2003年获香港特区政府颁授铜紫荆星章，方先后捐出3幅作品给恒生银行；
2000年2月获东京富士美术馆颁赠最高荣誉奖；
2005年6月把其42幅1953至1990年间之作品赠予美国旧金山亚洲艺术馆。
方召麟在国内外多次举办个人书画展，历年来作品多次入选国内外大型书画展览并获奖，为博物馆、美术馆收藏。出版《方召麐花鸟画集》（东京版）、《方召麐作品集》（论敦版）、《方召麐书画集》（上海版）、《召麐画艺》（香港版）等。书法以楷、行，古拙朴厚，气势磅礴，自具风貌。
1998年在中国美术馆展出的300余幅作品是她各个时期的代表作。她的书画作品达简朴拙、干湿有致、顿挫有力，有气壮山河之势，她的绘画作品风格独特，锐意创新，以“拙”和“生”的韵致、返朴归真的童稚，表现各种人物花鸟造型。?

Study abroad flee from a calamity of London war of resistance against aggression

, Zuo of square call together studies abroad London.

At this moment she has been the mother of 6 children. In 10 years, procrastinate flee from a calamity of belt female ground, passed Guilin, Guiyang, Chongqing, Tianjin early or late. Although flee from a calamity works hard extremely, but the Zuo of square call together with hopeful natural disposition still gave each child to take the name that has commemorative sense: In the child that Tianjin is delivered of, cry " ferry is unripe " ; Guilin is delivered of, cry " Lin Sheng " ; What quiet period is delivered of is twin, cry " still " and " Ning Sheng " . Later, this calls a still girl, became director of department of government affairs of Hong Kong special zone
Settle down husband of Hong Kong middleaged funeral

Flee from a calamity tens of year, they find a place for in Hong Kong eventually come down. Fang Xingao opened firm of a foreign trade, the life improves, Zuo of square call together also begins to pick up paintbrush again.
Bestrew below quiet life dark emerge. An unskillful and faulty medical or surgical treatment of arise suddenly, claimed marital life.
Zuo of square call together resembles mad the very important person of white unlined long gown that arresting a doctor euqally. But the husband is to answer after all did not come. 8 children cry together round the mother, and right now, the child with the smallest age perhaps does not understand father after all how.
She did not cry, resembled losing crying strength. She did not understand why to experience so much cross, the life just lights a bit hope, by the snuff of destiny callosity.

The different point of Zuo of square call together and average woman depends on, she won't break down. Arrange is over funeral affairs, she does housekeeping money of supply of foreign trade company, raise the child; And pick up paintbrush again really, zhao of a person of academic or artistic distinction austral Bai Shiling is held high less.
When Zuo of square call together is ten years old, of Qian Song of Great Master of unconscious traditional Chinese painting undertakes the rigorous training of traditional method to her, had base of strong classic painting and calligraphy. But unfortunate is, because of flee from a calamity of chaos caused by war, her stop writing or painting 10 years. Zhao of a person of academic or artistic distinction austral Bai Shiling is held high less, it is her 10 years hind 2 degrees take paintbrush.
Had done not have a few years, painting of flowers and birds in traditional Chinese style of the clique austral the mountain of Zuo of square call together is drawn already high degree of professional proficiency, "Trading a fund is Zhao Shaoang " . However Zuo of square call together is faint however however feel,
Suzhou book paintress considers Qing Yao, it is the friend of Zuo of square call together. Gu Qingyao ever was mixed in Shanghai magnify 1000 " life the first bosom friend " Li Qiujun does together in Shanghai " Chinese woman painting and calligraphy is met " , then also with magnify 1000 be on friendly terms. 1953, magnify Hong Kong of reside abroad of 1000 as it happens, gu Qingyao sees Zuo of square call together artistically is about to seek a breakthrough, introduce her to do obeisance to division magnify then 1000.
Before long, Zuo of 1000 debit call together is magnify person of door of fresh gale hall.
Zuo of square call together is when 40 years old, make a breathtaking issue again, read a doctor into Hong Kong university, 42 revenue Oxford studies " Chu Ci " .

The brushwork of Chinese number chiliad history, the paintress that is remembered is not worth 100. Paintress of the Republic of China is partly " play a bank note " property, one part is transmission of because of sexual reason story be treatinged as.
But Zuo of square call together is not such, is the problem that is she pondering over " how does ability picture give those who have new aspect, the Chinese picture that yields the world to approbate? " " how can you be new wind of art group waft? " " how can you be new wind of art group waft??
This is a station on art history angle think, and be not the artistic career that considers oneself only. Such job should not give originally a woman, need numerous artist to be finished jointly however. But, also have her only, have the requirement of support of the people of all sorts of climate favourable geographical position, will step such one pace. Although the pen is abandoned 10 years after marriage, but from young when the calligraphy brushwork that undertakes strictly according to traditional rule trains, let her have deep traditional a copy kept as a record; And she studies abroad when London, itinerary Europe, ever was in the United States again later squire teacher magnify 1001, a large number of top class west culture mix bring into contact with modern art, consequently, the beginning with very self-conscious Zuo of square call together the exploration that is united in wedlock in the Chinese and Western on art. Often write in her diary and problem money " draw newly in London atelier trial-produce " , " London atelier free from worry, trial-produce is drawn newly, more can to one's heart's content " wait.
The process is lengthy and this is thorough, see a few an album of paintings in home by no means, short perhaps a few sightseeing of the day can be achieved. She goes up in the base of art of Chinese and Western with solid oneself, the will traditional writing, abstract essence that draws on the west, and oneself are right the understanding of life, be in harmony entered special naturally in the picture. We can see the sign with western artistic abstraction, and the spirit of landscape of meaning of Chinese traditional capitalization; Have the model of water of Tang Dynasty tall Gu Shan, have the person of mural of Chinese generation coffin chamber more, and herself is natural the aesthetic gout of childish clumsy. A variety of elements are together action, form a kind brand-new, but really truly the artistic style that thoroughly remould oneself draws at Chinese tradition. [2]

The style of great desire landscape of Zuo of square call together is born, stun picture world. Writing situation is like thunderbolt lightning, incisively and vividly of great desire spirit. Be in harmony collects western abstraction spirit and Chinese tradition to draw charm is sent.
The style of painting and calligraphy that she starts, and the name with affirmatory neither one, be called by later generations constrainedly " the great desire landscape of shirt-sleeve and abstract spirit " , the characteristic is " childish clumsy " , " natural " , " great desire " .

Zuo of square call together does obeisance to division magnify 1000 when, ceng Sui he is itinerary and Euramerican, be in " can reside " squire a year, saw the west such as Picasso, Pollock is modernistic the Great Master's paint. Magnify the 1000 work that see not clear Picasso, but the advantage that knows this old man however is change a few years, have " unripe " characteristic. He is told with Zuo of square call together, artistic and highest state is " clumsy " with " unripe " .
Zuo of square call together sees the temperament of clumsy in the abstract line that waits for a person from Pollock however, she uses this kind of sense in the hill that China draws, her hill has very much " hill dance silver-colored snake " flavour, the line of those merry and lively, do not wear in expression specific hill stone, and wear in apply colours to a drawing a kind of imposing manner. Or baronial, or solemn and quiet, or open, or abrupt. The woods on hill is thick, but not be unfrequented absolutely place, she always wants to give a way in the monarch in hill, make people OK ascend climb, and the temple at that road, it is the heaven in her heart. Perhaps, in those days when her destiny is in to despair all right, also expect to have a such ways.
Zuo of square call together ever returned the mainland for many times, itinerary famous mountains and great rivers. Of motherland the land of country let her magnificently come in spite of oneself with massiness your writing depict. The put oneself in another's position with her very clear hill is revealed " clumsy " , " heavy " , " big " wind model. Not only modelling massiness, line is bold, hill situation grand and heroic, go up in fill in colors on a sketch also for many times apply colours to a drawing, in tonal in make a depth shade and distinctive chapped way. She or mix with ochre vermilion catch vigrous Qiu Shan, or with shallow cyanine the picture gives pure white winter mountain, or with green be mingled with red yellow draw up Chun Shanxia hill, produce a result like bronze ware verdigris, color massiness is complex, be without fawn on however the gas of common.

It is artists of the record that do not have stannum together, the Ni Yunlin of bright generation does not agree to draw a person in the picture. Somebody asks him the reason, he turned over a supercilious look to say: "Install when the world answer somebody? " probably the life of scholar-bureaucrat, let his look do not go up worldly and laic. But Zuo of square call together draws a lot of people in the picture however, these people have tall person, have heaver, have a woman, have baby, young is in farmland, also have old people be expert at boat.
