上款:“磻忱先生”為穆磻忱,民國時期北京古董商。穆磻忱于民國初年曾在北京琉璃廠墨寶齋做學徒,九一八事變後,他到長春開設墨古齋古玩店,後來遇到震驚中外的“小白樓”文物流散事件,其中著名的《遊春圖》由穆磻忱、馬霽川等六人合資購得,回京後轉賣給張伯駒先生。
是圖《雛雞蚱蜢》乃白石老人作于1940年,畫面中一隻蚱蜢於前,引來了五隻雛雞環伺在側。白石寫來恣放淋漓,雖非工致,形神捕捉卻極精確,雛雞軀體豐滿,翎毛光澤富質感,尤其距蚱蜢最近處的小雞因膽怯而後仰站立,一副膽怯又好奇之態;而蚱蜢則以顏色寫出,活靈活現,栩栩如生。這些物事的特質,對於農家出身的白石老人而言,自能掌握無誤。觀者在畫中亦可領略一二。雛雞是齊白石非常喜愛的題材,這裡依然用水墨來表現,筆觸結實,墨韻深沉,酣暢淋漓,別有一番情味。最上方沿扇面邊題以款字,更添趣味。憨態可掬的小雞、兀自前進的蚱蜢,眼見一段故事定格於紙上,怎不讓人心動?
