Vigorous Diligence

Red-character square seal

勇猛精進 陳師曾

中國

「勇猛精進」語出諸多佛教經典,如《大般若經》:「勇猛精進,離諸懈怠⋯⋯摧滅一切煩惱怨敵,建正法幢,伏諸邪論。」說明諸菩薩眾只要能夠勇猛精進的行持,則無事不辦。
 此印是破除傳統章法的作品。元代(1271~1368)吾丘衍有言:「朱文印不可逼邊,須當以字中空白得中處為相去,…」這段話說明印文與邊欄要保持等距,才能顯出印章美感。
 一代有一代的審美標準,到了民國之後,審美的觀念又不一樣了。這方印力避平庸,建立新觀念。除了章法之外,印文的字體與刀法亦隨之改變,作者字體渾厚,運刀不拘一法,天真有趣。
 陳師曾原名衡恪,字師曾,號朽者、朽道人等。江西義寧(今修水)人。善詩文、書畫、篆刻等,精通美術史論。曾留學日本,返國後投身美術教育,於中國畫史及文人畫理論卓有建樹。
