張大千 倣唐人春郊攬轡
設色紙本 立軸 一九五六年作
畫家署簽
簽書︰大千居士近作〈倣唐人春郊攬轡〉。
款識︰畫馬當以唐人為最,蓋於物理物情物態,三者有得,是以為玅。宋人惟李伯時一人而已,元明以來,迨無作者,無論有清趙吳興名盛一時,觀其題語,往往自負,以予鄙見,當是紙上討生活耳。丙申春日畫於巴黎漫識。蜀郡張大千爰。
鈐印︰「張爰私印」、「法匠」。
展覽︰法國,巴黎市立現代美術館,〈張大千畫展〉,一九五六年六月一日至七月十五日
著錄︰〈張大千畫展〉目錄（法國,巴黎市立現代美術館,Éditions Euros印製,一九五六年）,展品目錄編號13,並獲選精印複製畫片
註︰大千先生畫人馬圖,常謂擬唐人筆,蓋以此題材出自曹霸、韓幹最勝,然唐畫迹傳世亟稀,上窺唐風,往往依據後人臨本。本幅題畫家畫馬論者,語中略嫌趙子昂對馬的實際體會流於浮躁,惟趙吳興筆下畫馬卻是他取徑追效唐賢的媒介,本幅即屬顯例。
大千現存粉本有〈唐人春郊試馬圖〉,自題曰「此又臨松雪本」,本幅與之相互參照,可知畫中主體人騎即取自趙氏臨本。粉本成於四十年代中期,縱流露松雪翁影響痕迹,筆墨已經過濾提鍊諸家技法而成己貌,乃畫家遠陟流沙,走遍名山大川、讀遍自然物態之成果,固筆下所出遠超「紙上討生活」。筆下體現對唐人畫馬的理解並重新演繹,亦大千仿古臨古卻高於同時代畫家者也！
本幅襲粉本造型,敷色疏淡,不事裝飾,觀者自可聚焦運筆流轉與施墨濃淡之微妙變化。若參照同期另稿具垂柳背景之〈春郊攬轡圖〉及一九五○年寫之重彩〈擬唐人秋郊攬轡圖〉,本幅純取主體人騎,捨背景,且大字書畫論,不無示範楷模之意。
一九五六年五月,大千先生首度歐遊,主持翌月在巴黎市立現代美術館舉行之〈張大千畫展〉,此乃其在西方藝術殿堂首次舉辦大型個展,期間寄寓老友郭子杰處。本幅乃「丙申春日畫於巴黎」,即抵埗後立即繪製參展用,復選以印製複製畫片以推廣展覽,足見畫家份外重視。畫幅仍留原裝裱,背面具畫家題簽,殊為難得。
