徐悲鴻 梅花 設色紙本 橫批

款識:
悲鴻。

鈐印:悲

註:徐悲鴻一生喜作梅花,無論構圖、筆墨、色彩均於傳統有所突破。其畫梅,多古幹,繁枝、繁花,少作疏枝寒花狀。梅亦不用圈花法,而用灰紙作底,以白粉點出花瓣,令之清新優雅,美不勝收。對於枝幹的處理,徐悲鴻嘗自言「樹木不難寫,但寫之不佳則類硬柴,故需具生意。其要點在枝幹精確之深淺,樹皮滋潤,枝幹四佈,則不必致柴,雖落葉無礙矣。」
徐悲鴻多次寫梅贈「愛妻靜文」,曾於一九四三年作白梅通景上題詩:「清芬肯與寒窗守,僊客常為真怨嗟。萬古巴山一恨事,月明從不照梅花」,又有「我向梅溪溪上家,十年萬里客天涯。自傷春色偏經眼,夢寐猶應見此花。」梅花於悲鴻心中,自有一份特殊感情。
