苏士澍 厚德载物

拍品描述

英文名称：Su Shishu, Virtue Can Bear All Things 英文描述：Format: Mounted calligraphy, seal script on paper Seals: Two red artist seals at lower left Publication: No record of publication Description This horizontal calligraphy work by Su Shishu features four large seal-script characters: *Hou De Zai Wu (Virtue Can Bear All Things)*, created in spring of Renchen year. The main characters draw inspiration from ancient bronze inscriptions, rendered with powerful, solid ink. The characters are broad and stately, with full and forceful lines. The running script colophon below records the famous quote from *I Ching*, its fluid strokes create a nice contrast with the static seal script above. The phrase “Virtue Can Bear All Things” is a classic Chinese maxim, meaning a noble person with profound virtue embraces all things. The composition is well balanced. Combining seal and running script, this work demonstrates solid calligraphic skill, elegant and solemn, a fine example of the artist’s calligraphy. 【款式】镜心，纸本篆书 【钤印】左下角两方朱文印章 【款识】落款：《道德经》句，壬辰春，苏士澍书。小字题释：天行健，君子以自强不息；地势坤，君子以厚德载物。 【来源】旧藏 【出版】无出版记录 **中文描述** 本品为苏士澍纸本篆书横披，书大字 “厚德载物”，壬辰年春所作。主体四字取法金文篆意，笔墨厚重雄浑，结体端庄宽博，线条苍劲饱满，朴茂大气。下方行书长款，录《周易》名句 “天行健，君子以自强不息；地势坤，君子以厚德载物”，行书流畅灵动，与上方篆书形成动静对比。“厚德载物” 为传统经典吉语，寓意君子胸怀宽广、德行深厚，承载万物。整幅布局疏密得当，篆行并举，笔墨功力深厚，端庄典雅，是其书法精品。
