Footnotes

張大千 仕女圖 設色紙本 鏡框 一九五二年作

款識:落盡夭桃紅滿枝,主人空自惜芳菲。楊花最是多情物,沾著春泥便不飛。壬辰(1952)三月,寫似蓓芬夫人清正,張大千於貝宜諾斯愛麗斯。
鈐印:張爰私印、大千居士、摩登戒體

註:上世紀五十年代初,大千行旅匆匆,輾轉往來於香港、台灣、印度,並遠赴南美阿根廷,期間繪事不輟, 展覽繁仍。本幅作於一九五二年三月,大千時客阿根廷首都布宜諾斯艾利斯,獲阿國總統貝隆及夫人特別召見,邀其定居,加之南美風物宜人,景色秀美,畫家心情怡適,筆下自然佳作迭出。寫贈愛妻徐雯波的名作〈遠憶圖〉即成於此時。

敦煌歸來,大千筆下仕女,一變清末以來海派之羸弱纖細,轉而直追盛唐之豐腴旖麗,于非闇謂其仕女為人讚賞,蓋「能大膽別創新意」,亦因他「對於女性觀察得很精密,能用妙女拈花的筆法,曲曲傳出女兒的心聲,這一點是他的藝術微妙,也是他在女性上曾下了一番工夫的收穫」,此說可謂中的。本幅寫古裝仕女,執扇而立,身材頎長,雲鬢高挽,眼波脈脈,惹人憐愛。衣紋流暢飄逸,線條精準爽健,敷色調協秀雅,大千盛年,隨手拈來,即成佳作,殊令人羨。
