朱屺瞻画作

朱屺瞻先生，清光绪十八年(1892年)五月初二日生于我浏河新镇，名增钧，号起哉、二瞻老民。斋名：梅花草堂、癖斯居、养菖蒲室、修竹吾庐。祖父长熠公，字湘舟。业商、有儒行，性沉静，设集善堂，立七义祠，于乡里多善举。父大坤，克承祖业，经营酱园，一生亦乐善好施。母施氏，本镇儒商施莲史之女。
先生八岁时丧母。父为其聘秀才童颂禹为塾师，在新镇老宅家塾馆修竹吾庐内读书。童塾师多才艺，每于馆课之暇，画兰竹以挥洒自娱，先生耳濡目染，遂自习作画。先生与其母感情独深，每当思念，啼泣不止。童塾师为之黯然，抚其头顶口诵《诗经·魏风》云：“陟彼屺兮，瞻望母兮！”于是为先生更名屺瞻。之后，于家塾苦心读书，学画不辍。约在抗战胜利后，又自号“起哉”。十四岁时，先生得舅父支持，入宝山县学堂读书。其间常作画给上海《时报》投稿。十七岁时，先生毕业于宝山县学堂，考入上海实业学校（上海交通大学前身）。亲得校监（即校长）、著名国学家唐文治的教益。其时，先生于学习课程之外，仍不断自习作画。唐大师谆谆告诫：“习字作画，点划皆须着力，切忌浮滑。”为日后先生用命于画坛念念不忘旨要。二十岁，先生结婚成家。于浏河老镇新宅。承父命经营吴淞酱园。是年辛亥革命爆发。民国元年，先生决心学画，常于上海寻师访友，出入书店画坊，开始接触西方绘画。同年十一月，进入刘海粟创办的上海国画美术学院（即后来的上海美术专科学校），习木炭临摹，作静物写生，画艺大进。一年后，先生受聘任该校教师，作国画以兰竹花鸟为主，兼作山水，亦习书法，临魏碑及米南宫之行书。其间与王济远等油画家成莫逆之交。先生除上课教铅笔画、木炭画外，并兼任函授乙部主任，每日要批阅各地寄来的大捆邮件习作，十分辛劳。时与美术教育家徐悲鸿结识。袁世凯复辟帝制失败后，于1917年初夏，先生辞去上海国画美术学院职务，赴日本进东京川端美术学校学画。既学日语又习画，极为勤奋，几乎足不出户。时先生接触欧美梵高、塞尚、马蒂斯等后期印象派作品，使之耳目一新，终身不能忘怀。数月后，家中电告继母病重，才不得以匆匆归国。翌年冬，先生以油画《风景》一幅入选苏州美术画赛会，并公开展出。1919年，先生因病在浏河老镇区治病间不忘研究画技画法，习作以风景与静物为主，并与上海绘画界交谊不断。1924年9月，江浙军阀在浏河激战，兵祸惨烈。先生举家避难于吴淞，老镇家藏书画与西洋画具及家什为散兵游勇抢劫一空。战后，先生合家回到浏河镇。时镇上赌风炽烈，目赌不少农民被骗入赌局破产而服毒自杀。先生于上海购回大量解毒药物，闻有服毒者，即与其家人以救护，晓之以理，劝其戒赌。于是乡里赌风大敛。后先生之父病逝于浏河镇，先生怀念父母二老实笃，自号“二瞻老民”。其间，先生与沪上书画家王一亭、高剑父、潘天寿、黄宾虹等交往密切，切磋画艺。北伐大革命后，先生与绘画界友人王济元、江小鹣、潘良玉、李秋君、张辰伯等于沪上创苏“艺苑绘画研究所”，对于活跃上海画坛、培养艺术人才起着积极作用。三十八岁时，先生的国画《寒林》、《墨荷》、油画《春寒》、《劳苦》、《静物》等作品展出于上海举办的“第一届全国美术展览会”上。是年冬，经徐悲鸿引荐，与年已六十七岁的大画家齐白石相交。1930年，先生作国画《苍松》、《荷花》、《国色天香》等名作，并出版《朱屺瞻画集》。一时，书画名家唐文治、蒋梦麟、刘海粟、汪亚尘、俞寄凡、王济远、潘良玉、朱古民、潘光旦等皆为之题词作序。时先生画艺日进，交游日广，并结织了著名诗人柳亚子。不久，受聘于上海新华艺术专科学校任校董及教授。“九.一八”事变后，日军大举进犯上海，并于1932年3月1日突袭攻占浏河沿江地区各口岸。先生积极参加抗战赈济活动，奔波于宝山、嘉定、太仓等抗日战地，描绘战争遗迹与城乡惨象，举办《朱屺瞻淞沪战迹油画展览》，展示了先生怒斥日军暴行和不屈的民族精神。是年秋，先生返回浏河，见新镇之老宅已被日军焚毁，老镇之新宅亦弹痕累累，面目全非。于是拆老宅之余屋，修缮新宅。并购进宅后空地，清理瓦墟，围而成园，筑起具有江南风格的“梅花草堂”。草堂分国画、西画两个画室。整个花园占地六亩，园中植梅树百余株，还有罗汉松、云杉、芭蕉、兰花、修竹等，并将日寇空袭留下的炸弹坑疏浚为池，垒土成山。画友姜丹书命之为“铁卵池”，以志不忘日寇侵华暴行。先生则自号“梅花草堂主人”。1933年2月，先生以多幅作品参加“全国艺术家捐助东北义勇军作品展览会”，将义卖所得款悉数赠于东北义通军。10月，于上海举办首次“朱屺瞻绘画展览”，展出国画、油画共60余幅，其中《秋树寒鸦图》等被视为高品位佳作。时艺苑绘画研究所停办。12月，先生出资于原址创办“新华艺专绘画研究所”，分国画、油画两科招收学生，自任研究所主任兼导师，聘用庞薰琴、汪亚尘、杨秀涛等导师任教。并与著名画家林风眠结识。1934年秋，受陶行知平民教育思想的影响，回家乡浏河镇，出资万元，与何元奇等于长泾桥（今农场村）创办“乡村改进社”。该社为业余教习所，附近农民闻之踊跃参加，成绩斐然，后停办于“八.一三”事变。1935年后，先生参加诸闻韵、潘天寿等组织的“白社画会”。不久，又与徐悲鸿、汪亚尘发起组织“默社画会”。并参加柳亚子组织的“南社纪念会”，以提倡民族气节，发扬爱国民主思想。后交游于浙江富春江，复又招游于浏河镇“梅花草堂”，吟诗作画，研讨艺事达数日。后先生以《墨竹图》、《富春江烟雨》二幅载于《申报图画特刊》，轰动一时。先生还为浏河镇梅花草堂征集同道好友如王一亭、齐白石、黄宾虹、吴湖帆、贺天健等佳作数十幅，汇成一巨册，为先生深爱之宝物。1937年春，先生与汪亚尘同赴日本考察美术教育方法，约二个月即归国。4月，先生所作国画《竹石》、油画《菊花》等参加于南京举办的“第二届全国美术展览会”，与汤定之、汪声远、沈尹默等大书画家结交成友，收藏了金农、石涛、八大山人、青藤道士等中国书画界极其名贵的珍品近百幅。并倾囊购进将落入日人之手的石涛名作《万点恶墨卷》、《八大山人书画册》。为保护文物，先生于解放后交国家博物馆收藏。不久，日本挑起“八.一三”事变，大举进攻中国，家乡浏河沦陷，先生避居上海。1938年春，齐白石作《墨梅图》寄赠于先生好友张丹书为《梅花草堂图》题词并作诗。第二年又结识驰誉中外的名画家张大千以及吴湖帆、钱瘦铁、江寒汀、唐云等，合作绘《割烹图》、《蛇逐蛙图》、《怪象图》等，讥刺汉奸、贪官、奸商等民族败类。1941年，太平洋战争爆发，日军进占租界，肆意蹂躏与掠夺。时先生年五十岁，愤不忍睹，闭门谢客，鲜与人交往。翌年初春作《香风高节图卷》，以高风亮节自励。1944年冬，先生回家乡浏河镇绘《太仓十二古迹图》（即阅兵台、淮云寺、沧江风月楼、报本寺、血凝百壁碑、南园、刘家河、四先生祠、尊道书院、沈即山先生祠、安道书院、山园等），表达先生仰慕故乡先贤之品行，以抒身体力行之情怀。1945年8月，抗战胜利。是年冬，当浏河镇自家梅花草堂寒梅盛开时，先生欣然回归故里。整治宅第，园内幽香四溢，早年先生手植于铁卵池畔的二株松柏，已蔚然成材。时先生参与上海国强中学任教的太仓旅沪同乡顾仲超、陆遵望、顾江山等发起成立的“新太仓社”，以谋求将太仓改造成为充满朝气的新太仓。并与同乡陆博泉创办大学贷金和中学生助学金，自捐巨款10万元，资助进入大中学校读书的家乡贫苦学子近200人。致使乡里学生勤读苦学，蔚然成风。1946年春，上海美术会成立，先生被选为监事。10月，大画家齐白石南下京、沪，先生与之谋面，不胜喜悦。时京剧大师梅兰芳亦参与相见。先生得白石“贵在独创”之画理，作《梅竹图卷》，白石为之题诗、治印，交谊独深。时先生于南市淘沙场果育堂购得一空地，约亩余，除瓦砾荆莽，建屋于园内，分中西两个画室。油画室100平方米，国画室24平方米，成为沪上画家们乐于聚会的地方。园里植梅数十株，曲径通幽，两边种着龙柏、樱桃和黄杨，并缀有假山。白石为“梅花草堂”作篆书匾额，白石老人叹喟：“吾友真与白石有缘也。”时齐白石八十七岁，先生为五十六岁。两人成了莫逆之交。不久，先生被聘为上海市美术馆筹备处征集委员。“中国画会”恢复活动后被选为候补理事。先为该团体的中坚，不久，该团体成为国内极有影响的艺术组织。之后，与著名画家陈士文等每日作油画不辍。直至1949年5月解放。
1950年，先生五十九岁。参加了上海市第一届文学艺术工作者代表大会，成为上海新中国画研究会会员，之前，先生肺病长期治疗不愈。1951年使用肺结核特效药后，竟奇迹般地痊愈。1953年春游北京，先生作《潇湘烟雨图》，入选于北京举办的“全国国画展览会”。其时，先生因家传产业经营亏空，自己又无力从事其他劳动被迫将书画房产变卖一空还清税款。举家迁至南市蓬莱路三百弄六号“过街楼”居住，家中三女一子六口之家生活陷于困窘。1954年初春，先生加入华东美术家协会，旋又成为全国美术协会员，时得好友资助游黄山，绘《雨霁断云图》、《松下觅蕈图》、《琅?十万图》、《黄山朱砂峰图》等名作。是年当选为上海市蓬莱区人民代表。1955年，先生受聘为上海文史馆馆员，每月得津贴五十余元，自此，生活日见好转。1956年，先生受聘为上海中国画院国师，每月有工资收入，合家生活益有保障，创作条件大为改善。此后，先生创作热情高涨，常随画院外出写生，二十余年间，赴苏杭、浙东、皖赣，游川陕、两广等地，以国画为主，佳作累累。先生擅长花卉蔬果和山水之作，画面质朴清醒，笔墨雄健，气势磅礴，多次在上海、南京、西安、成都、北京等地举办个人画展，获得极高的声誉。

纵观先生一生绘画，最突出的是大胆创新。他说：“过去人们常说活到老，学到老，我要加一句变到老。”体现了先生对艺术永不满足，不断攀登的创新精神。尝析他的一幅幅画面，是那样明媚鲜艳而又各自不同。如同游览名山大川，总感到峰回路转，光景常新。尤其是先生对画面设色，成功地吸取了西洋画印象派的用色和某些技法，即通过吸收消化，为自己的绘画需要服务。这可以说是前无古人的。先生在继承中国画传统方面下了极大的功夫。他曾致力于研究我国古代著名山水画家董源、巨然、郭熙、黄公望等的笔法，还用功于临摹宋元名画。故先生对传统的中国画名家笔法了然于胸中，娴熟于手上。他说：“画山水要有意境，画花卉翎毛亦须有生气、天趣，斯有境界，舍此皆非上乘。”又说：“画花卉忌板，画鱼鸟忌呆，须画得生动。生者，生机天趣也。”如透过先生《江南三月》的画面，使观赏者不仅看到逼真的江南景色，而且似乎呼吸到春天的的气息，感受到洋溢着花香鸟语的新鲜空气，充满着生机和情趣。又如先生的《太湖马山图》，是一幅历史题材的图。太湖马山曾是抗日游击队的根据地，后来千余村民尽遭日寇屠戮，仅存三人。解放后，建立英雄碑纪念殉难者。先生连续两次访马山，画了一幅长卷。该画用笔恣肆老辣，焦墨枯笔，纵意驰聘。而汪洋浩渺，如闻太湖呜咽，如听人民怒吼。先生深含激情，如风霜雷电，留下史诗般的作品，既继承了传统中国画的民族艺术的风格，又以独立不移的面目，开创了中国近代新的山水画派。先生从八、九岁起，开始学画，一生对艺术追求近一个世纪。他在《癖斯居画谭》里说：“多年来，余总以‘独’、‘力’、‘简’三字自求。‘独’者，即忠于自己的面目，不依门户；‘力’者，凝神静气，奋笔挥洒，也蕴含作者的思想深度，即‘心力’；‘简’者，即画面练洁、简约、不受世俗束缚、不执着，不粘带。”突击作品的“灵合”、“透脱”。体现先生永不疲倦的追求精神，先生那谦和、豁达、勤奋的美德是世所公认的。他从来不认为自己的画比别人好，也从来没有满意过一张自己的画。他总是谦虚地说：“我画不来，瞎塌塌（意：乱画）。”他不因名高而自封，不因年长而自大，也不为荣誉而陶醉。先生经历了百余年激荡变化的社会风云，对社会主义祖国、对中国共产党有深厚的感情。他常说：“从前画画为一口饭吃，今天画画为艺术，为国家创造精神财富。从来的生活都没有像今天这样安稳，共产党好。”1991年，先生百岁时，成为中国共产党最年长的一员。他在党旗下这样说：“白天唯有赤心存，坚定不移跟党走。这是我一生最庄严最重要的选择。1996年4月20日，先生之病因不治而平静地走了，但他的艺术力量和人品德行将与山河同在，日月同存。家乡浏河人民永远怀念着先生.
