註:帝制終結,民國肇建,內憂外患雖未脫,社會卻漸趨多元化,新興市民階層地位有所提高,文化藝術亦漸見活潑生機。在此時代背景下,一介農民出身的職業畫家齊白石,以平民視角,為傳統的文人畫題材注入民間活力,筆下所繪充滿生活氣息,深得時人青睞,既有東洋追捧其金石趣味,西方亦推重其寫意畫中的強烈視覺效果,借市場的推動助力,使他終成二十世紀知名度最高的中國畫家之一。

從作品數量上看,白石老人允為近代畫家之冠。縱覽其傳世之作,以條幅最為普遍,扇面冊頁次之,手卷至罕,四屏亦非常見。他一生所作套屏,若非至親友朋所求,則必為藏家重金定製,前者如一九二〇年為胡鄂公寫〈花卉四屏〉,後者如一九二五年為津沽重要藏家「子林」作巨製〈山水十二屏〉;題材則花卉蔬菓、山水、人物皆有。繪製套屏之難,難在構圖:面貌一致方成氣勢,又要兼及各自變化以免雷同,較之獨幅,更有賴畫家細意經營,用心配搭,如一九二二年的〈竹林白屋〉、〈入室松風〉、〈青山紅樹〉與〈米氏雲山〉山水四屏,單從畫題,便可想見其風格各異而合組則呈一堂精彩。白石有感於此,尤為珍惜此類畫作,於贈胡鄂公四屏題「余生平所作之畫,最稠密以此四幅為最。」又於另套題「此四幅照依潤格值價六十二圓四角,秋澄先生多能,他日當卜牛眠報我也。」自珍自重,溢於言表。

白石四屏多寫於二、三十年代,從畫風、書體分析,〈菓品四屏〉當為三十年代末、四十年代初之作。而年代相仿者有中央美術學院附中藏〈水菓魚蟹〉,尺寸相若,可互為參考。再晚者如一九五一年為梁勁予寫〈蝦蟹蛙雞〉四屏、一九五三年寫〈沒骨有餘〉四屏,畫幅均不足二尺,都以老辣之筆寫出,絲毫不遜於早期巨製。

白石寫意花卉得法吳昌碩頗多,但缶老喜滿紙龍飛鳳舞,白石則長於佈局推敲,安排佈置巧妙自然。本套四屏,各繪荔枝、葡萄、櫻桃與枇杷一種,每幅構圖平實,皆以一籃鮮菓或上或下置於畫面中央,各添綴折枝菓葉,無一雷同,打破單調,互為呼應,細審之下,實見匠心。

〈荔枝〉枝葉以潤筆寫出,濃而稍乾的洋紅點畫菓實,準確傳遞出菓皮乾澀質感,令人遐想剝開後現輕紅釅白互襯之致;盛籃採粗篾編成,飽蘸濃墨,兩筆畫就提梁,籃前折枝葉多菓少,突出菓籃的主體地位。〈葡萄〉承上幅釅紅而來,折枝擺佈於畫面相若位置,篾籃用偏乾之飛白寫出,既區別於上幅,亦襯托菓實圓潤結實,芳鮮玉寒;〈櫻桃〉另開新面貌,祇見朱櫻滿盈,堆疊繁密,綠葉鋪籃底,折枝繫於提梁,櫻桃濃色勾圈,復以淡色染之,重墨提寫小枝,映襯出「輕質觸必碎,中藏半泓水」的質感;細密編就的柔韌提籃,在四幅的盛器中最見工緻。〈枇杷〉提籃既不同於篾藍之粗獷,復異於〈櫻桃〉草籃之綿密,由幾根藤條串结而成,簡筆重墨,愈發映襯出枇杷澄黃燦爛,是幅折枝則從畫面上方串垂而下,墨色蜻蜓翩然飛来,生機頓現,可謂點睛之筆。畫中多處依稀可見打稿痕迹,〈枇杷〉的提籃方向,成畫與底稿完全相反,令人得窺畫家構思之苦。

畫家注重色彩搭配,荔枝、櫻桃醒以嬌豔妖嬈的洋红,間以枇杷的燦爛金黄、葡萄的紫潤嫩翠,眾色相襯下見鮮活清新,似聞菓香四溢。同時強化色墨對比,每幅隨著用筆提頓輕重及行筆速度快慢而令墨色濃淡起伏有致,與所配搭之鮮豔設色,遂生變化微妙多端之關係。除〈荔枝〉長題一行外,其餘只署名款,此乃白石四屏落款常態,且每幅構圖搭配已臻完美,文字嘮叨反成蛇足,區區細節,已見經營之細意!
