「此畫以構圖出奇制勝,猶如攝影取景,特寫唐宮的一角。眾樂工在龍紋畫棟後奏樂,半掩半露。此種構圖,已見於日本浮世繪,法國印象派畫家亦曾受影響,而在中國繪畫則屬較新穎的嘗試。此畫初次展出時,備受贊揚,認爲是開創了國畫的新紀元。」
—節錄高美慶〈梅雲堂藏張大千畫概説〉
註:一九四四年秋,大千偕家眷、門人寄居青城山中,某日因與夫人口角,負氣離家,躲入成都小廟,遂得清淨潛心創作,閉關數日,完成〈按樂〉、〈春燈〉、〈採蓮〉、〈讀畫〉工筆仕女畫四幀,自詡為得意之筆,遂喜笑顔開,主動歸家。此番趣事,見載於謝家孝〈張大千的世界〉,乃源自大千親述,其中之〈按樂〉即本幅。
是年十月,〈張大千國畫展〉假蓉城春熙路成都大樓舉辦,上述四幀人物赫然陳其列,一經展出,回響熱烈,陸丹林更盛贊其開創國畫新紀元。展覽目錄中,此四幀定價為六十萬圓,倍數於其它作品。一説展覽時標爲非賣品,眾人求而不得,足証畫家珍視之甚。展畢,他將〈春燈〉奉予摯友張群,一九四五年歲始,又特摭宋代徐去非〈捲珠帘〉詞意,題以「雲璈錦瑟爭為壽」,將〈按樂〉作爲新年賀禮,持贈知音高嶺梅。〈採蓮〉或自存,今歸四川美術學院,〈讀畫〉則未明去向,有説屬海外私人收藏。
從傳世資料看,大千創作該題材工筆仕女組畫惟二,兩組尺幅相若,僅高度略有差異。另組繪製於一九四七年夏,其中〈讀畫〉易為〈嬰戲〉,惜今僅知〈按樂〉屬私人收藏,餘者歸屬不詳。
一九四四年本中,流傳可見之〈按樂〉、〈春燈〉、〈採蓮〉構圖皆機杼獨出,人物既為主體,亦著意精細描劃場景配置,復強調兩者和諧交融之關係。據一九四七年本畫家題跋,〈按樂〉乃憶寫大風堂舊藏無款〈明皇按樂圖卷〉,該卷描寫唐明皇、楊貴妃宮廷賞樂之盛況,上具李東陽、張大千題跋,並鈐張善子鑒藏印,可推知其早於四十年代已歸大風堂,一九八三年由大千家屬捐贈臺北故宮博物院。
本幅未取原卷之全景,僅擷奏樂之一段,加以衍化。視綫自開敞的竹屏投入宮殿,衹見眾女樂官正合奏樂曲。左側二朱梁精繪巨爪飛龍,聚集焦點,諸樂官呈S型魚貫席坐其間,箜篌、排簫、八角琴、橫笛、雲鑼、檀板齊鳴,據案女子凝神靜聼,扣指輕和節拍。服飾、樂器、地毯等元素對原卷多有借鑒。另見大千臨摹敦煌〈三十六窟中唐畫伎樂菩薩〉,奏樂場景與本幅頗有相似處,或亦啓發其創作。畫家藉梁棟、竹簾之障,營造出樂官、樂器且遮且露,勾人心緒之神秘感,賞心悅目,又教人如聞繞梁之音,盈耳不絕,如此巧思,實為中國畫之創例。
若細看畫面,梁柱左側朱紅覆蓋之下隱現几案、地毯、衣裙痕跡,乃畫家完成上述元素著色後,復將梁柱拓寬,使之呈上窄下闊,如此更符合透視比例,亦愈發吸睛奪目,彰顯大千創作之嚴謹入微,可證此即祖本無疑。
四十年代初,大千遠涉西陲,埋首石窟三載,勤力研習,對其人物畫之演變發展影響深遠,本幅即屬顯證。圓勁靈動之綫條,厚重燦然之顏彩,無不昭示敦煌精神之啓迪。諸女性體態腴健,衣飾華貴,既雍容,又不失「林下風度」,眉目尤爲點睛之筆,顧盼生輝,唐人盛世風華畢現矣!
