指头画起源辨

The Origin of Finger Paintings

指头画,亦称指墨,乃中国画的一个特殊画种。至于它始于何时何人,历来有三种说法:一,唐代画家张璪;二,清世祖福临;三,清初康熙、雍正年间的画家高其佩。关于第一、二种说法,过去已有不少人讨论,因无画迹流传,多取不敢苟同的态度。惟第三种说法,既有文字资料为证,又有大量画迹流传,至今一直占绝对优势。本文即试图探析指头画是否创始于清初高其佩。

Finger painting, or finger ink, is a special painting in China. In the traditional paintings, there are three answers to the questions of the o- riginality, time of creation and the initiators of the finger paintings, namely, Zhang Zhao from the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor Fulin of the Qing Dynasty, Gao Qipei in Liaoning Tieling from the early of Qing Dynasty. The first two have been widely discussed and have not be confirmed due to no proof of paintings handed down. As to the third statement, there exists both docu- ments and paintings and therefore, occupies a predominant role. The thesis tries to explore the assumption of creation of finger painting by Gao Qipei.
