Yun Shou-p’ing (1633-1690)
Ch’ing Dynasty
A native of Kiangsu, Yun Shou-p’ing was the leading essayist and poet. Considered one of the Six Masters of Early Ch’ing, he is ranked as a leading painter. Originally specializing in landscapes, he felt unable to equal Wang Hui and consequently focused on flowers and plants. Incorporating the “boneless” wash method in his repertoire and creating a new style, he became a leader in the genre.
This work is a sketch in heavy brushwork of an ancient cedar at Yu-hsueh that Yun Shou-p’ing saw during his visit there, which is located at Mirror Lake near Ch’ien-t’ang (Hangchow). The old age and twisting forms of the tree are conveyed well as bamboo and rock add a serene beauty to the scene. They symbolize the lofty integrity of the scholar.
@#@@#@網頁展示說明@#@畫家常藉著遊歷各地的名勝古蹟,以獲得作畫的靈感,惲壽平也是如此,他遊歷的範圍遍及浙江、蘇州各處,會隨手寫生記下喜愛的風景。三十五歲時,惲壽平到浙江錢塘的鏡湖泛舟,探禹穴,對禹穴上的古柏十分喜愛,於是隨筆作了寫生。五年之後,根據寫生稿及印象畫成這幅「禹穴古柏」。 惲壽平很喜歡畫樹,他覺得歷經百年風雪吹打而能屹立不折的老樹,枝榦往往非常奇特,因此愈怪異猙獰的古樹姿態,愈能表現出蒼老枝榦不曲不撓、迎風挺立的精神,正如君子堅貞不撓的情操。所以畫家在畫古柏、老松時,總會將它們的枝榦畫得盤根錯節。如「禹穴古柏」中的古柏,枝榦盤曲虯勁,象徵古柏凌霜傲雪的姿態,古柏旁有石頭及竹子,都是用來比喻君子高潔不流俗、光明磊落的胸懷。
