拍品資料及來源

余承堯1898年生於福建,早年棄筆從戎,加入國民革命軍,在抗日戰爭期間官拜中將。直到1954年,年屆54歲的余氏創作第一幅畫作,利用來自軍旅生涯的地形學知識,以寫實手法描繪記憶中中國的壯麗江山,追懷故鄉風光。其遊歷經驗廣泛,受此啟發而師法自然。

《山水》(拍品編號511)顯見余氏筆法,畫家先勾畫出山脈輪廓,再以獨有的乾筆,描繪繁密草木和岩石峭壁,筆觸深淺有度。余氏無師自通,雖然未曾受過正規藝術訓練,但憑藉數十年來對古詩、書法及音樂之欣賞,陶冶文人志趣,鞏固其對水墨畫之探知。畫中理想化的山水景致饒有詩意,蜿蜒河川置於山巒遠景中,同時筆法紋理獨特,為群峰賦予書法韻律。畫作流露出余氏對筆法和構圖空間感之信心,其作品備受同代水墨畫家及學者稱譽。
