拍品資料及來源

周灝,字晉瞻,號雪樵、芷岩、堯峰山人、髯痴,江蘇嘉定人,精書畫,師從清初四王之一王翬門下,其筆墨可見Paul Moss,《The Single Feather of Auspicious Light》,Sydney L. Moss Ltd.,2010年,編號73、73a 及 73b。周灝雕刻技法為人稱道,刀下山水,見宋元古風,以畫理入竹,工留青陽文,深淺濃淡,無不可成,運刀於心,不需筆稿,便可開山聚水、過手成林。清代史學家錢大昕,著《潛研堂文集》,書中記,「吾邑自朱松鄰父子以畫法刻竹。厥後有沈兼。吳之璠。周乃始諸人。皆精其藝。山人更出新意。作山水樹石叢竹。用刀如用筆。不假稿本。自成丘壑。其皴法濃淡坳突。生動渾成。」

本品刻工豪放,短刀皴點而就,粗曠大氣。留白刻款「建隆丙戌仲夏製於翠蘿深處」,意取唐詩《遊錢塘青山李隱居西齋》中之妙句。
