私人收藏陸儼少「訪碑讀碑」系列作品（編號1214-1215）

一九六○年，陸儼少仍以被劃「右派」身份接受「勞動改造」，得〈楊淮表記〉碑拓，遂起意於漢碑，「無事諦讀，亦足娛性」。所讀者亦擴及〈爨寶子〉、〈西峽頌〉等。賞玩之餘，以其「甚有禆於筆墨」，遂寫有多幅以訪碑、賞碑、校碑為題之作，篇幅俱為盈尺斗方，本輯兩幅皆其中之作。圖中所見如「訪碑」者，則示登山涉水，攀奇蹈險之探訪過程；而賞讀者，則為築居草廬，靜處其中，校勘研析，「挹其奇趣」。筆下蒼鬱樸茂，肅穆渾厚，氣息奇古。時受政治環境壓抑之情，遂寄託於與前賢藝術契合之境，以排憂解悶，今人讀之，可體會畫家之寄意了！

註：本幅可與編號1214〈摩崖西峽頌〉合觀。前者描劃碑刻摩崖所處之
懸崖壁，若非親涉其險，目賞銘刻，拓取佳本，日後焉享讀碑之
樂，此亦過程先後之連貫也。
