八大山人是清代著名的書畫家。他的簡筆寫意花鳥畫,以獨特的面貌,開一代新風。他的書法亦與他的繪畫風格相似,極為簡練,到晚年喜用禿筆,一變銳利的筆勢而變成渾圓樸茂的風格。 近人研究八大書法,追其師承淵源眾說紛紜?;蛟蛔诙酢⒆诙洳?、宗王寵等等,終如尋其書畫師承,至今無一定論一樣。據(jù)王方宇先生考證,最初,八大山人受歐陽詢的影響很深,稍后學董其昌的行草,又轉入黃庭堅的夸張開闊等,多方探索,再追尋魏晉人書法的氣質,終于參用篆書筆法,形成自己獨特的風格:中鋒圓潤,又婉約多姿且厚重渾成,富有晉人氣度。 八大山人在許多繪畫作品上的款跋,相當精彩奇巧。如在繪畫布局上發(fā)現(xiàn)有不足之處,有時用款書云補其意。八大山人也能詩,所以他的畫即使畫得不多,題上自己隨興發(fā)揮的詩,意境就充足了。 2015年,美國史密森尼弗利爾美術館舉辦了一場名為“解謎:八大山人的藝術(1626-1705)”的展覽,展出了其館藏的八大山人珍貴書畫,一起來欣賞他的部分書法作品。 草書耿湋《題清源寺詩》 (軸) Poem by Geng Wei in cursive scriptBada Shanren (Zhu Da) (1626-1705)八大山人 (朱耷)China, Qing dynasty, ca. 1699Hanging scroll, ink on paperH x W (image): 154.8 x 75.1 cmBequest from the collection of Wang Fangyu and Sum Wai,donated in their memory by Mr. Shao F.
