拍品資料及來源
Shigu's [Wang Hui] painting is excellent for his skill. Yushan's [Wu Li] painting is excellent for his talent. When it comes to having both skill and talent, Nantian is the only one. I have now seen this album, which is compelling with its ethereal beauty, elegant but nonetheless simple and grounded. How can Wang and Wu compare? [Nantian's] calligraphy takes from the brush manner of Chu Henan and the substance of Huang Yuzhang. He is especially outstanding, excellent even among calligraphers and beyond the dreams of his contemporaries. Fifth month of dingwei (1967), humbly viewed and inscribed by Daqian jushi Yuan.
Nantian with his magical brush soars like an immortal, leaving divine dewdrops that shine beautifully like bright pearls. Himself of the same class as Xu [Xi] and Huang [Quan], he saved the field [of landscape] for Gengyan [Wang Hui]. People of the past said Nantian regarded his own landscapes as inferior to those of Shigu and thus gave them up in favor of floral subjects. I disagree. [Nantian behaved] just as Master Ouyang said, "Give this man the opportunity to shine." From this we see that painters of the past were honorable in their dealings with others.
Pu Ru's colophon:
Among painters, Qingmi [Ni Zan] and Yunxi [Cao Zhibai] are known in the world for their untrammeled works. During the Ming Dynasty, Shitian [Shen Zhou] and Huating [Dong Qichang] were both their worthy successors. After them, only Yun Nantian, with the imaginary realm of his brush and its ethereal resonances, was in the company of Qingmi and Huating. At the time, Shigu was known throughout the realm for his landscapes. Master Yun allowed him this singular reputation and focused on painting flowers, leaving behind very few landscapes. This album is miraculous. Whoever comes into possession of it should greatly treasure it.
Zhuang Yan's colophon:
Painters during the Ming and Qing dynasties came to value copying above all else, spending their lives imitating appearances and rarely able to exceed masters of the past. Painting declined tremendously because of this. Nonetheless there were many outstanding individuals who, with their own ingenuity, broke free from the limitations of tradition. Nantian, a commoner without a degree, was one of the champions among them. As a youth, Nantian and Shigu both studied landscape painting under Xilu laoren [Wang Shimin]. Thinking that he could not surpass Shigu, Nantian gave it up and pursued bird-and-flower painting. But the intimate landscapes that he painted occasionally are alike excellent. The present album is superb in brushwork and subtly elegant in color. How is it beneath Gengyan's painting?
Lin Qingni's colophon:
Yun Shouping, hao Dongyuan caoyi, bieshu Yunxi waishi, was skilled at poetry and prose, and his poetry was foremost among the Six Recluses of Piling. He first excelled at landscape painting, in which he strove to revive the past. Then he saw Shigu's work and regarded himself unable to match it. Unwilling to be inferior to him, Yun gave it up and turned to flower painting, adopting Xu Chongsi as his teacher. Still, he painted landscapes from time to time. Here and there, a tree or rock by him has an ethereal magic. The brushwork in this album is especially beautiful and elegant. How could Shiguzi hope to match it?
Huang Junbi's colophon:
In his flower paintings Nantian mostly uses the boneless method, with lively washes and good control of tonality. He fully expresses the miraculousness of nature, and is truly an expert sketcher from life. In his landscape paintings, he mostly imitated Huangheshan qiao [Wang Meng]. They are transcendent and unparalleled, with a truly otherworldly feeling. He is moreover adept at poetic inscription and calligraphy, and was thus known as the "commoner with three perfections," a moniker that he lived up to.
