畫作口述影像

江漢東在1964年創作了直式的版畫《遊戲》。96.1公分長，47公分寬。

版面裡刻畫6個孩子或像雜技團的表演者。3人一組，或站或坐在另一個人的肩上排出兩座疊羅漢的隊形。除了右下角的人是雙手撐住隊友，其他人手，左右接近對稱地裡各自拿著不同的管樂器或雜技道具。

這幅作品的人物形象不是寫實風格。他們都有圓圓的大臉、一筆線條畫出的眉毛和鼻子、大而細長的眼睛和小嘴。細瘦的手腳刻滿細密的紋路，身上的衣服也有繁複華麗的裝飾花紋。手裡的道具線條隨性寫意。有一種孩童作畫純真、幻想式的風格。

江漢東使用現代藝術分割或組合畫面的方式構圖。畫中人物左右一個疊著另一個，重覆出現臉或身體的造形。臉部線條單純、肢體線條卻很繁複，於是產生左右對稱一鬆一緊間隔的秩序感。這幅版畫印出黑色線條後手工上色，色彩也有左右呼應的特性：中央是冷色調的藍綠色，左右分別是暖色調的橙色和黃色。

《遊戲》是江漢東在青光眼導致視力退化之前的作品。他重視表現內心世界，而不在意素描寫生的自然光影或立體感，所以作品看起來平面，許多細緻的線條形成特殊質感，豐富整個畫面。

Audio Description

Entitled A Game, this 1964 vertical print on paper by Chiang Han-Tung measures 96.1 cm tall and 47 cm wide.

The artwork depicts six human figures who are either children or acrobatic performers. Working in groups of three, they are standing or sitting on the shoulders of each other, forming two symmetrical human towers, one on the right and the other on the left. With both hands, the figure in the lower right corner is supporting his teammates on his own shoulders, while the rest are all holding different wind instruments or acrobatic props.

The human figures in this artwork are not portrayed in a realistic style. They all have big, round faces, in addition to eyebrows and noses drawn with a single line. Their eyes are big, almond-shaped, and their mouths are small in size. Their slender hands and feet are decorated with fine lines, and their clothes are adorned with delicate, ornate patterns. The instruments in their hands are painted with free-flowing, spontaneous lines, reflecting the child-like, imaginative, artistic style of the artist.

To create this print on paper, the artist first printed the black outlines, then he filled in the colors by hand. The color schemes in use also echo the artwork's left-versus-right composition. Cool color tones such as blue and green can be seen in the center of the artwork, while warm color tones like orange and yellow are used on the right and left sides of the print.

With little emphasis on chiaroscuro or three-dimensional effects commonly used in sketches, Chiang’s artworks underscore the expression of the artist's inner feelings and thoughts. Based on a two-dimensional approach, this artwork presents a unique appearance and texture thanks to the many delicate lines that make up the rich image.
