作品特点
朱屺瞻精通中西艺术，其画贯通古今，融合中西。朱屺瞻与齐白石关系密切，齐白石前后为他刻印70多方，作画题跋、赠扇面数十幅。从50年代以来，他先后在上海、南京、北京、香港、新加坡等地举办过十多次个人画展。1962年参加法国春季沙龙画展。1983年为美国旧金山国际机场画巨幅《葡萄》，1986年应邀赴美讲学。他是为数不多的百岁画家，并在百岁纪念日,在上海举办了“百岁书画展”。
画作《可人图》赏析
此图是朱屺瞻的代表作品之一，画中题：“嘉瓠吾所爱，孤高更可人。辛酉夏日于北京钓鱼台所见，归后写之，屺瞻。”山石焦墨勾凃，淡墨皴擦，干湿并用，浓淡相宜。葫芦藤叶以粗、涩的焦墨和浓淡不同的湿墨勾出，粗头乱服而有韵致。深重的山石衬出绿色的葫芦，葫芦造型稚拙天真，用笔生涩有力，响亮的绿色中渗透出赭石的光辉，泼辣而稳重。
朱屺瞻的绘画受西方现代绘画影响，色彩鲜明响亮，节奏感、力量感和层次感极强。他的这幅作品用笔概括有力，用色泼辣生涩，气势磅礴，使人感到强烈的个性和内在的力量，这是朱屺瞻绘画的最大特色。
作品行情
朱屺瞻作品丰富，极受收藏家欢迎，几乎每次重要的拍卖会都有他的作品出售，价格很高。除香港大量出售他的作品外，纽约的拍卖行也拍卖过他的画作，最近1991年5月美国拍卖的一幅《露气远山晴》达到1.4万美元。国内由北京荣宝斋经售他的作品。
