《乌猿》为谢稚柳中年时期的作品,体现了作者早年学陈老莲、中年习宋元的风格和追求。《乌猿》画中的树干枝叶勾勒而成,皴多点实,且布局方折,造型滞涩,颇有老莲遗风。坐于树木主干之上的白头乌猿则带有一定的宋画特征,尤似北宋画猿名家易元吉的画法。就整个画作而论,构图、造型、用笔、设色、气韵已非宋画品格,却有许多新时代的风气。(艺术点评:陆军) “Wu ape” Xie Xieliu middle-aged works, reflecting the early years of the author Chen Laolian, middle school learning Song and Yuan style and pursuit. “Ugly ape” painting the outline of the branches of trees and stems, 皴 more solid, and the layout of the fold, shape astringent, rather old lotus legacy. Sitting on the trunk of the tree above the Baitouwu ape is with some characteristics of the Song Dynasty paintings, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty painter Yi Yuanji painting method. As far as the whole painting is concerned, composition, style, pen, color, and rhyme are not the characteristics of the Song Dynasty paintings, but there are many new-age customs. (Art Review: Army)
