拍品資料及來源

註:「君無我不進,我無君則退。」
齊白石輓陳師曾詩句道盡了以藝相交之深厚感情。本幅取黃庭堅詩意
入畫,緊扣「編蒲束縛十八輩」句,祇見蒲草細長如繩,牽纏糾結,將
三五成群,雜亂無序之螃蟹束縛成串。群蟹或正或側,或向或背,或
相叠僅露螯爪,但細數下,正合十八之數!師曾鮮以「無腸公子」為題
入畫,偶一為之,實應好友白石之請而製。他純施淨墨,筆下濃淡乾
濕相交,點染輕重提頓,即狀其形,呈其神,尤得生動活潑之妙。

署年「庚申長夏」,亦即白石得其提點「衰年變法」之時。日後擅寫水
族,蝦蟹更臻神妙,本幅或有觸發誘導之功。白石得此,於紙背左上
右下兩角鈐「阿芝」印,寶愛之情,於此可見!同年十二月,他即取山
谷老人原詩寫〈螃蟹〉一幅,與師曾此畫相和應。

畫上具以小說〈紅旗譜〉名噪文壇的作家梁斌(1914-1996)題跋。從中
可知一九六五年已轉入其收藏了。
