画家林纾师承关系研究

Study of the master-disciple relationship of Painter Lin Shu

林纾艺术上的进阶主要得益于游历中所见的历代经典作品。他以古画为师,其中,对他影响最大的是“元四家”中的王蒙。王蒙兼有吴历之“精”与王翬之“博”,是中国画学集大成式的人物。而且,王蒙的作品浅白刻露,授人以用笔之法,是可学而可至的美的范式。当然,林纾所认识的王蒙并不完全等同于王蒙的本来面貌。他所关注到的这些侧面,隐约蕴藏着使绘画创作系统化、逻辑化的愿望。其结果是,林纾的作品工稳、细致有余,缘自性灵的特立独行、放旷不羁则很少显现。

Lin Shu’s artistic progress mainly benefited from the classics seen in his travels.He took ancient paintings as his teacher.Among all the ancient painters,Wang Meng,one of the Four Masters of the Yuan dynasty influenced him the most.Wang Meng,as delicate as Wu Li and as extensive as Wang Hui,is the epitome of the Chinese traditional painting.In addition,Wang Meng’s paintings are so clearly expressed that others can learn his skills just by observing his works.Therefore,Wang Meng’s paintings stand for the acquisitive and reachable beauty.Of course,that Wang Meng in Lin Shu’mind only mirrors a few partial reflections of him.These reflections reveal Lin’s intention to systemize and logicalize his own painting skills and style.As a result,Lin Shu’s paintings are deliberate and exquisite,while free-spirited unconventional and uninhibited expressions are hardly seen.
