石渠寶笈續編(養心殿),第二冊,頁1107-1110 &*故宮書畫錄(卷六),第四冊,頁201-203&*崔愨(十一世紀)是安徽鳳陽人。北宋神宗時(一○六七-一○八五在位),在宮廷畫院任職。他和哥哥崔白(十一世紀),兩人都擅長畫花鳥,也享有極高的名聲。 本幅選自「唐宋元畫集錦」冊第五開。畫上並沒有作者的簽名或印章,是否真是崔愨的作品,仍有待研究。不過由於右上角,鈐有元代的收藏印「都省書畫之印」,所以本件作品的時代,應不晚於宋。而且畫中的鵪鶉與螻蛄,均不先勾勒輪廓,直接以水墨點染,感覺十分質樸典雅。這種「落墨畫法」,在宋畫中尤其罕見而難得。&*Ts'ui Ch'ueh, a native of Anhwei province, served at the Northern Sung court of Emperor Shen-tsung (r. 1067-1085) as a painter. He and his elder brother Ts’ui Po both excelled at and achieved fame in bird-and-flower painting. This leaf from the album "Collected Works of T'ang, Sung, and Yuan"bears neither seal nor signature of the artist, so further study is necessary to determine if it is indeed by Ts'ui. However, in the upper right corner is the partial impression of the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) "Tu-sheng shu-hua chih yin" collection seal, indicating it must date no later than the Sung. This work focuses on a quail and a mole cricket in a rustic setting. They were not outlined with a brush but instead were done directly with washes of ink for a simple yet elegant touch. This so-called "leaving ink" method of painting is quite rare in Sung art.&*1.譚怡令,〈崔愨杞實鵪鶉〉,收入國立故宮博物院編,《宋代書畫冊頁名品特展》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1995年初版一刷),頁289-290。 2.王耀庭,〈崔愨杞實鵪鶉〉,收入國立故宮博物院編輯委員會編,《草蟲畫特展圖錄》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1986年初版),頁65。 3.譚怡令,〈宋崔愨杞實鵪鶉〉,收入譚怡令編,《畫裡珍禽》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1988年十月初版),頁81。 4.譚怡令,〈「七十件書畫冊頁名品特展」精選(五) — 崔愨杞實鵪鶉〉,《故宮文物月刊》,第150期(1995年9月),頁108-109。 5.譚怡令,〈帝國的回憶 國立故宮博物院瑰寶赴法展專輯一 — 崔愨杞實鵪鶉〉,《故宮文物月刊》,第185期(1998年8月),頁32-33。 6.劉芳如,〈中國古畫裡的草蟲世界 — 「草蟲天地」特展介紹(上)〉,《故宮文物月刊》,第220期(2001年7月),頁10。
