齊白石 水族雛雞
設色紙本 立軸 四屏 一九五○年作
款識︰〈一〉隆基先生正畫。 齊白石。
〈二〉隆基仁兄正畫。 九十歲白石老人。
〈三〉隆基先生屬畫。 九十歲白石老人。
〈四〉隆基仁兄論畫。 庚寅秋,九十歲白石。
鈐印:「白石」（四鈐）、「大匠之門」（兩鈐）、「寄萍堂」（兩鈐）。
來源︰二○○五年七月得於北京
上款︰「隆基」即羅隆基（1896-1965）,字努生,江西安福人。英國倫敦政治經濟學院政治學博士,返國後先後任教光華大學及南開大學,於〈新月〉、〈益世報〉襄理筆政,力主抗日。乃中國民主同盟早期領導,一九四九年後,歷任中央人民政府政務院政務委員、森林工業部部長、第一屆全國人大代表等職。羅氏嗜書畫,庋藏範圍自明以迄民國,以齊白石畫尤豐。
註︰一九五○年,新社會籌建伊始,齊白石受惠於政治及文化風氣改變,聲名日隆,政界求畫者漸多,此亦他少數與「官家」往來頻繁之日子。是時,不少民主黨派人士如章伯鈞、黃琪翔皆欣賞及收藏白石書畫,羅隆基亦在其列。二人訂交時間不詳,傳世畫迹具羅氏上款者,最早見於一九五○年。是年,齊白石寫八尺屏三幀予羅氏,題材有風竹、松鷹,亦有壽桃祝嘏者,尺寸一致,應為四屏之三,如此鉅製,非鉅額筆潤難求,足證羅氏嗜其藝之深。本件寫於同年,同為白石筆下鮮見之四屏,題材乃鄉間俯拾即是者。三屏出諸水墨,用墨濃淡深淺見變化之微妙,物態鮮活如生,群雛一幀以赭石藤黃點蟲,尤生醒目之效。上款稱曰「隆基先生」或「仁兄」,對照八尺屏之暱稱「隆基弟」,可推知本幅屬前寫者。羅氏除贊助白石藝事,亦以政壇身份襄助,嘗任其聯絡人,向層峰轉達贈畫事宜,交情如何,自不待言。
