“语-图”视域下陈洪绶《水浒叶子》的创作旨趣与塑图艺术

The Purport of Creation and Art of Composition of Shui Hu Ye Zi by CHEN Hongshou From the Perspective of “Language-Map”

陈洪绶试图通过《水浒叶子》以画脉维系家国,以至于其对人物的刻画与图赞的归纳皆希冀实现警示观览者的目的。《水浒叶子》的创作既考虑了当时"水浒叶子"的创作特点及本质,又考虑到"叶子戏"的受众对象及娱乐特征,且能精准概括《水浒传》所写,以尽可能经济的笔画将人物精练反映于规格固定的"叶子"中,从而寻求警世与娱乐的统一。这就促使《水浒叶子》采用以"取神"为塑人展开的主要方式,以直线平铺为图像展现的主要手段。

CHEN Hongshou tried to maintain family and country through painting Shui Hu Ye Zi.His characterizing and praise for the painting aimed at warning the viewers.When CHEN Hongshou created Shui Hu Ye Zi,he considered not only the creative characteristics and essence of the Shui Hu Ye Zi at that time,but also the audience and entertainment characteristics of the "Ye Zi play",and could accurately summarize the contents of Shui Hu Zhuan,reflected the character’s competence in the fixed specifications of the "Ye Zi",which prompted Shui Hu Ye Zi to adopt "drawing spirit" as the main way of shaping people,and the straight line paving as the main means of image display.
