以往艺术理论家,论及八大山人的作品,多从国破家亡的心理伤痛出发去强调其政治原因,笔者认为,八大山人作品的上述因素无疑是有的,但不是主要基调,作为禅师兼画家的特殊身份,八大山人的绘画无疑受禅宗文化的影响,解读八大山人的绘画作品,离开禅是不可能真正完成的。 In the past, the art theorists talked about the works of Badashanren from the psychological pain of their own country to emphasize their political causes. The author believes that the above factors of the Badashanren are undoubtedly some but not the main ones, As a special identity of Zen master and painter, the painting of Badashanren is undoubtedly influenced by the Zen culture. It is impossible to interpret the artwork of Badashanren without the Zen.
