The House of Tranquility

細節
齊白石    閒居圖    設色紙本   立軸 一九三八年作
題識:閒居圖。冷庵先生一日踏雪登門求畫,余以為世上知者難逢,其情不可却,故揮筆成此圖也。戊寅 (1938年) 冬白石。
鈐印:木人、阿芝、白石翁

出版:《齊白石畫集》,文物出版社,北京, 1992年,圖版13。

註:齊白石秉承兩大古代傑出畫師之理想:明朝山水畫家董其昌的淳美與思維的投放,以及清代最富創造性畫家石濤之畫從個人體驗生的信念,覓到其個人的藝術道路:觀天地之造化。《閒居圖》正是顯露齊氏讚頌大自然美的佳作。齊白石以童真的手法及簡約的筆調渲染日常生活中之恬靜與喜悅,突顯其畫工超然。《閒居圖》以讀書老人為中心,散發出一股平和、悠然自得之氣派。畫中各部份相互配合,令畫面既平衡又調和。

Qi Baishi modeled his own approach after two of the most revered artists of the 17th century, the orthodox landscape painter Dong Qichang and the individualist Shitao. Qi did not mimic them, but he adopted Dong's aim to represent pure beauty to project the artist's mind or essential 'character', as well as Shitao's conviction that the artist must paint from his own life experience.

Qi found confirmation of his preference for working from his own observations of nature, grappling with the challenge of utilizing traditional media and techniques to devise a new and wholly personal statement. Qi's remarkable gift in illuminating the inherent beauty of the most ordinary things is represented in The House of Tranquility.

The House of Tranquility expresses Qi's ability to evoke tranquility and delight from everyday life in a most child-like and simple manner. The simplicity and charm of this landscape belie its technical prowess, as individual elements are defined in their entirety by a single telling touch of the brush. There is an inner quietude and confidence in the creation of this work, with the old man as the focal point, evoking a sense of calm and contented solitude.

The House of Tranquility offers another instance of Qi's ingenious use of minimal means for maximum descriptive results. No single part of this painting dominates another, creating a schematic balance of the whole - yet without one element, the painting would seem incomplete.
