江漢東 CHIANG Han-Tung

簡介
1926 年出生於福建長汀，1948 年於國民政府遷移來台，並畢業於台北師範學校藝術科。1955 年師事李仲生，成為台灣現代藝術運動的核心成員。作品曾兩度於「巴西聖保羅雙年展」展出。1958 年與秦松、陳庭詩、楊英風、李錫奇等人共同創立「現代版畫會」，讓版畫在台灣成為獨立的藝術形式，被譽為「台灣現代版畫開路先鋒」。
「畫的是所想的，而不是所看到的」是他創作的核心。對一位跨海而來、遠離故鄉的藝術家而言，記憶便是唯一的故土。他將客家文化、民間戲曲與神話傳說重新融鑄，吸收立體派打破透視的構成、超現實主義虛實交錯的夢境，以及原始藝術直率的線條，發展出帶有東方精神與濃厚泥土色彩的個人風格。
1967 年因青光眼視力嚴重惡化，他一度宣布退出畫壇。後在家人支持下重返創作，以近乎貼著畫布的方式繼續作畫，晚年作品多以神話、民俗與記憶為題材——視覺逐漸消失，內在的影像反而更加清晰。他的作品主要為油畫、木刻版畫以及麥克筆創作。

台北市立美術館、國立台灣美術館、國立台灣歷史博物館均舉辦過江漢東個展。作品由國立臺灣美術館、阿波羅畫廊等機構典藏。

阿波羅畫廊於1983年起持續推廣江漢東的作品，並於1992年促成江漢東的二十餘件作品於當年的奧地利國立人文博物館（Museum für Völkerkunde）的個展。

Introduction
Born in 1926 in Changting, Fujian Province, Chiang Han-Tung moved to Taiwan in 1948 amid the relocation of the Nationalist government and graduated from the Art Department of Taipei Provincial Teachers College. In 1955, he studied under Li Chun-Shan and became a key figure in Taiwan’s modern art movement. His works were exhibited twice at the São Paulo Biennial in Brazil. In 1958, he co-founded the Modern Printmaking Association with Chin Sung, Chen Ting-Shih, Yang Ying-Feng, Li Hsi-Chi, and other artists. The association helped establish printmaking as an independent art form in Taiwan, earning him recognition as a pioneer of modern printmaking in Taiwan.

“I paint what I imagine, not what I see” lies at the heart of his artistic practice. For an artist who crossed the sea and lived far from his homeland, memory became his only homeland. He reinterpreted Hakka culture, traditional folk opera, and mythological tales, incorporating Cubism’s deconstruction of perspective, Surrealism’s dreamlike interplay between reality and illusion, and the direct, expressive lines of primitive art. Through this synthesis, he developed a distinctive style imbued with an Eastern spirit and rich, earthy tones.

In 1967, severe deterioration of his eyesight due to glaucoma led him to announce his retirement from the art world. With the support of his family, however, he eventually returned to painting, continuing to work with his face close to the canvas. His later works drew extensively on mythology, folk traditions, and memory. As his vision gradually faded, the images within his mind became ever clearer. His principal media included oil painting, woodcut printmaking, and marker drawing.

The Taipei Fine Arts Museum, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, and the National Museum of Taiwan History have all held solo exhibitions of Chiang Han-Tung’s work. His works are held in the collections of institutions including the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and Apollo Art Gallery.

Since 1983, Apollo Art Gallery has continuously promoted Chiang Han-Tung’s work. In 1992, the gallery facilitated a solo exhibition featuring more than twenty of his works at Austria’s National Museum of Ethnology (Museum für Völkerkunde).
