  明万历间姚旅在《露书》中,描述了当时活跃在金陵各个阶层的知名人物,“祝石林写字忙,何雪渔图书忙,魏考叔画画忙,汪尧卿代作忙,雪浪出家忙,马湘兰老妓忙,孟小儿行医忙,顾春桥合香忙,陆成叔讨债忙,程彦之无事忙”,祝世禄因善书而名列榜首,是一个相当活跃的人物。尽管这里面人物庞杂,既有文艺界精英,又有下层普通士众,但至少反映出祝世禄在当时金陵书坛的名声之盛。

  祝世禄写诗是强项,著有《环碧斋》诗集三卷、尺犊三卷,及《环碧斋》小言,均编入《四库总目》并传于世。祝世禄擅长草书。由于祝世禄的书法作品传世不多,所以他在明末以后的书名并不为外界所重。

  在祝世禄的政治生涯中,最值得一提的是他曾于万历十七年至二十三年任休宁县令,创办“还古书院”,定期举办“新安讲学大会”,该书院宗王阳明,只祀孔子,在明代为王派讲会中心。著名制墨艺人方于鲁此期曾有诗投赠祝世禄,新安印人何震也是在这期间结识他,并得到他的赏识。后来何震能在南京有良好的发展,与祝世禄的捧场提携不无关系。祝世禄在为何震的学生梁袠《梁千秋印隽》所作序中云:“往余令海阳(休宁)时,得主臣甚喜,及官秣陵,数与相习,所有印章,皆出其手。”联系前文姚旅《露书》中的材料,当时金陵书法篆刻界,二人皆为个中翘楚,关系之密,自不待言。祝世禄交游人物中,最有意思的是与西方传教士利玛窦往来,利玛窦在南京期间,曾得到他许多关照与帮助,他的《环碧斋诗集》中有“赠利玛窦”一诗存世,这也多少反映出祝世禄广泛的人脉网络与亲和的人际关系。

  祝世禄《草书五言绝句诗》(见图),笔墨酣厚,下笔沉着痛快,貌似拙笔,却显凝练、纯净,用笔中锋居多,线条遒劲老辣,沉着敦重;全篇布置,穿插避让,大小错落,欹正相参,颇富变化;用墨娴熟,且善用枯笔,行间呼应,顾盼生姿,体现了作者随心所欲、妥帖的空间处理功夫。信手写来,一派天机,我们甚至可以从八大山人的某些书作中看到他的些许踪影。首行“中”字的竖笔特长,以留白多而显得空阔。用笔流畅,行间时出数字连绵不断的草体,使转圆熟,颇有法度。行首“云”字与第三行“雪”字起笔的短横,以浓墨重落,势似坠石,其状若点。“人”字捺笔的回锋,婉转多姿,得刚柔相济之妙。第二行“开鸟”二字较细笔画牵连,很有流动感。最后一行“五湖船”,“五”刻意写成长扁形,“湖”字字形宽博,“船”字则用枯笔,通过一组变化体现章法之美。落款“世禄”一枯一浓,尽得对比之妙。

  董其昌弟子周之士评祝世禄书法云:“祝世禄书亦有风致,但笔多任意,法有出入,可备书家禅种。”在这句褒贬参半的评价中,我们约可窥及祝世禄不染时习,高调自弹的书风。与同期活跃在书坛的邢侗、董其昌、米万钟相较,尽管董其昌等人书法如簪花美女,轻盈多姿,但尽失古朴厚重之意,书作为求妍美失之于偏侧,为求纤巧伤之于拘泥,往往气魄不足。祝世禄的书法恰好掩盖了董书的这些缺憾,在当时,他能取与董书相对的书风,不得不让人佩服他的勇气。比较祝世禄书法和董其昌书法中所散发出的“禅味”,董多来自锦衣玉食、华饰满身的城市沙弥,而祝更酷似隐逸山林、不食烟火的野逸僧人,乡土气息极重。
