謝稚柳 (1910-1997)

水墨紙本 立軸 一九四四年作

款識：
擘紙明鐙又一時，鏡中菭蘚故華滋；
多應絕世矜塵襪，埋暮空山倚翠旗。
此畫去歲客昆明時為峻齋所作，曾乞其賦詩其上，久未踐諾。今冬相會於渝洲，始成此章，似命予書其上。今峻齋不樂其蕩心動魄之致，情見乎辭。
乙酉十一月十六日夜。稚柳並記。

鈐印：「謝稚」、「稚柳」、「遲燕居」。

上款：「峻齋」即蔣維崧（1915-2006），江蘇常州人，著名文字語言學者，亦擅書法篆刻。畢業於南京中央大學，先後任教於中央大學、廣西大學、山東大學，曾主持〈漢語大詞典〉山東編寫組工作多年。有關語言文字學專著極豐。

註：蔣維崧就讀於中央大學期間，已嗜書法篆刻，先後請益於喬大壯、沈尹默等，復與潘伯鷹、曾克耑等過從，後於同任教於中大之黃君璧的畫展上，結識謝稚柳，遂成莫逆。謝氏屢作畫送贈，山水、花卉、人物均備；蔣氏則擅詩，常為獲贈作品上賦詩以記，又治印多方回饋。

一九四四年秋，謝稚柳在昆明舉行個展，並與蔣氏及李天馬等相聚，本幅即寫於是時。取竹石水仙入畫，圖中琅玕挺拔細秀，水仙搖曳多姿，旁伴靈石，下綴細草，其境幽致，三者合之，喻君子高潔，以証友誼。翌年冬，兩人復晤於重慶，畫家遂將峻齋為此幅所賦七絶一首，書於其上，此亦南返上海行程之前。
