All is Created in the Mind

Red-character square seal

一切惟心造 張大千

中國

「一切惟心造」,出自諸佛教論典,如《性善惡論》云:「若人欲了知,三世一切佛。應觀法界性,一切惟心造。」認為世間萬物都是由心識所變現,心生則種種法生,心滅則種種法滅。
 此印以九疊文刻成,亦稱九疊篆,是仿傚隋(581~618)唐(618~907)官印。唐代以降,官印都用銅製作。筆畫摺疊均勻,填滿印面。摺疊多寡,根據筆畫繁簡而定,有多至十疊以上者。九為數之終,「九疊」即形容其筆畫摺疊之多。「九疊篆」盛行於宋(960~1279)元(1271~1368)官印。
 此印打破舊官印所採用之刻板摺疊線條,印文筆畫自然屈曲摺疊,生動活潑,頗出新意;所用刀法,不拘一格,衝切並施,所以線條有粗有細,變化多端。全印風格古拙有趣。
 張大千原名正權,後改名爰,小名季,又名季爰。一度出家,法名大千。精於詩文、書畫、篆刻。其畫格局壯闊,氣勢恢弘,時人譽為二十世紀最傑出的中國畫家。
