潘天壽的《松鷹》為其指墨畫名作,充分體現(xiàn)其藝術(shù)追求,足見其在20世紀(jì)40年代末之藝術(shù)水準(zhǔn)。鷹的全身由淡墨平涂而毛羽豐茸,一片化機,淡而彌永。它那眈眈俯視的雄姿,神俊不凡,生氣勃勃。全幅布局突出鷹主題,不多著墨,只配上兩根松枝和一塊巖石,余皆空白,寬廣的空間不著一筆,這是“天高任鳥飛”的典型環(huán)境,意趣之高,正在筆墨之外。
As a representative artwork of his finger painting,theEagle on Pinesof PAN Tianshou fully reflects his artistic pursuit and his level in the late 1940s.The whole eagle body was drawn by light ink with plump feathers, majestic look with extraordinary vibrancy. The comprehensive layout highlights the theme of eagle without much ink, coupling with two pine branches, a rock and vast area of emptiness, a typical atmosphere for Vast Sky Breeds Soaring Feathers.
