故宮書畫錄(卷八),第四冊,頁163&*惲壽平(1633-1690),原名格,字壽平,後以字行,江蘇武進人。初善作山水,因自謙無力與王翬(1632-1717)爭勝,遂改工花卉。畫法承自徐崇嗣(10世紀後半)之沒骨法,又參以己意,風格獨創,蔚為清代花卉畫宗師。 本幅選自<清花卉畫冊>,筆墨較為疏朗,帶有放逸的趣味。自題「蒲塘真趣」,以小景式構圖方式畫蘆葦塘邊實景,但見前有坡地,後荷之花葉半出,然一蓮蓬向左挺伸向上,打破荷與坡地均分畫幅右半的局面,使畫面有了律動感,活潑起來。(20110102)&* Yun Shouping originally had the name Ge and the style name Shouping, by which he later went. A native of Wujin in Jiangsu, he at first excelled at landscape painting but later felt that he could not compete with the master Wang Hui (1632-1717), turning to flowers instead. His style derives from the “boneless” method of washes used by Xu Chongsi (fl. latter half of 10th c.), but with his own interpretation as well. With his unique style, Yun Shouping became a master of flower painting in the Qing dynasty. This leaf comes from “Album of Qing Flower Paintings.” The brush and ink here is relatively light and airy, giving it a leisurely and untrammeled feeling. The title in four characters as it appears at the left suggests actual “intimate scenery” of reeds by the banks of a pond. However, instead what we see in front is a slope with lotus blossoms and leaves behind. A lotus pod extends out to the left and upwards, balancing the division of the painting focused on the right with the blossoms and slope. This makes the surface have a more rhythmic feeling and enlivens the scenery.(20110102)&*1..〈清 惲壽平 蒲塘真趣〉,收入譚怡令、劉芳如、林莉娜主編,《滿庭芳 歷代花卉名品特展》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,2010年十二月初版一刷),頁96。
