歷史奇珍

《男士肖像》乃常玉少見的雙面繪畫,其兩面分別以水墨水彩及水墨碳筆,完整創作男士的側面頭象。從其鬈蓬的髮型、寛廣的高額與挺拔的鼻樑看來,應為同一模特;若與攝影大師曼.雷(Man Ray)的《賈克梅蒂肖像》並觀,則會發現此幅常玉人物,竟然與年輕的瑞士雕塑大師賈克梅蒂(Alberto Giacometti)高度相似。考常玉筆下人物,有一系列作品與「蒙帕拿斯的琪琪」(Kiki de Montparnasse)造型極為相似,琪琪亦曾表示需要學習中文以便與中國朋友溝通,兩人應該彼此認識;加上琪琪曾與曼.雷有過一段漫長戀情,不由得讓人推測常玉因琪琪而與曼.雷有所來往;至於賈克梅蒂,更是巧合地與常玉同年生卒,兩人在蒙帕拿斯的住處亦相距不遠。在重重史料佐證之下,此幅《男士肖像》可謂結合常玉、曼.雷、賈克梅蒂三位現代繪畫、攝影與雕塑大師的作品,誠為珍罕的歷史見證。
