"張大千(1899~1983)名爰、字大千、四川內江人。他是二十一世紀以來海內外最負盛名、最有影響力及最有價值的國畫大師。本公司此次拍賣張大千山水花卉翎毛冊頁畫作(四開)作於1946到1947年間,是他創作力最豐沛的階段,體力眼力都支撐著他在藝術上作最好的發揮,許多傳世精品大作,都在此時問世。本次所拍賣的冊頁畫作有山水、花卉及翎毛等多樣題材,並有款題詩文多首,冊頁上畫作分別作於1946年至1947年間,畫作鈐印的「張爰」、「張大千」等各一小方朱文與小方白文印,皆由好友陳巨來先生於三、四十年代時所刻。畫作中的花卉飛禽與記遊寫生的藝術造詣。是大千此一時期創作靈感的高潮。類似題材,實在是彌足珍貴。本次拍賣《張大千山水花卉翎毛冊頁》 內容賞析如下︰ 圖一:沒骨粉荷 Pink Red Lotus 1946 款識:疏池種芙蕖,當軒開一萼,暗香襟裡聞,涼風吹燈坐。丙戊二月張爰。鈐印:「張爰」朱文方印 圖解:張大千畫彩荷主要吸收了北宋徐崇嗣和清代惲壽平的沒骨法,此圖繪寫粉紅荷二朵,一含苞、一盛放。畫家先用淺紅色勾勒出花瓣頂端的輪廓,花瓣中間部分略加白粉以水色暈化成之,最後加以硃砂點染瓣尖,使得花瓣猶如"美女舞蹈",嬌豔醉人。粉紅荷色彩層次變化豐富,畫面設色輕盈清麗,珠翠互親,得雅逸之韻致。丙戌年(1946)正是畫家工筆作品成熟之期,下筆似信手拈來,精工細寫卻如自然天成,雅緻風情。圖二:紅葉小鳥 Bird Standing on Red Leaves Branch 1946 款識:秋思婆娑近己疏,乍寒況是夕陽餘,每每如醉霜前葉,仍是坡公覓酒初。丙戊嘉平昆明湖上寫 大千張 爰。鈐印: 「張爰」朱文方印 圖解:張大千的早年花鳥圖大多屬於勾花點葉的小寫意,筆墨淸新,設色雅逸。 1943年秋,敦煌禮佛歸來後,畫風丕變,花鳥畫皆採宋人折枝寫生畫法,往往在畫裡取一折枝配一小鳥,花卉的枝幹柔中帶剛,用筆華滋多變,敷色清雅鮮活,意境閑逸。此幅「紅葉山雀圖」裡小雀物態栩栩如生,活潑開朗,枝桿上留有幾片紅葉,有前伸、有後延、有向背、有正側,然而,大師再利用葉脈、葉邊、葉面的彎曲,凹凸和深淺的變化,把葉子的不同姿態和厚實的質感表露無遺,其中數片葉子上的蟲眼,不僅精緻自然,也給畫面增添了幾分生機與動感。圖三: 沒骨芍藥 Peonies 1946 款識: 丙戌上元昆明湖上寫 蜀郡張爰。鈐印:「張大千」白文方印。圖解:所謂"沒骨",指的是不以墨筆勾勒,僅用顏色點戳。沒骨花卉一格,不同於勾线染色的工筆筆法,花卉以清妍艷麗為主,完全用顏色去表現,從而有更加自由的表現空間。畫法創始於北宋徐崇嗣,蘇轍曾言:"徐熙畫花落筆縱橫,其子崇嗣變格,以五色染就,不見筆跡,謂之沒骨。"至清初,惲壽平筆下沒骨花卉具骨氣而形似,愈趨雋雅。畫花瓣時,可全用顏色,或可用水墨點戳,後略施淺色。畫芍藥,先用淺紅色及白粉組成花形,再用大筆蘸墨層層渲染出芍葉,畫出畫面層次變化,富有立體感而濕潤自然。張大千對花卉觀察至深,此幅《沒骨芍藥》作品設色淡雅出塵,將芍藥嬌艷欲滴、含羞帶情的氣質表現得淋漓盡致。圖四 重山覽清流 Scenic View of Lofu Mountain 1947 款識:石錯天趾,羅天一丘;絮雲牽裾,日月同浮。丁亥夏日 張爰 鈐印:「張大千」白文方印。圖解:羅浮山素有百粵群山之祖、蓬萊仙境,及嶺南第一山之稱,它位於廣東東江之濱,山勢雄偉壯麗、林木茂密、自然風光旖旎。秦漢以來號稱仙山,史學家司馬遷把羅浮山比作"粵岳",是中國十大名山之一。畫面使用特殊的鳥瞰平遠透視法及採用石濤喜用之卷雲皴兼北董源披麻皴畫法,繪出羅浮山巒、溪水樹石,層層疊疊,佈局沈穩,筆法蒼健,使得羅浮山巒更具有寫實感,實為一幅不可多得的盛年期山水佳作。"
