江明德.CHIANG Ming-Teh
江明德 cHIANG ming-teh(1931-1994)
江明德六十三年的生命中,歷經一段顛沛流離的時代;以其在繪畫上的天分與執著,終而驗証了他自己的期許「放之於千古而健行,置之於隅落仍燦爛」。生命的後期雖長年為疾病所擾,然終其一生為自己的信念而踽踽獨行,孜孜於藝術和文學的鑽研而不墜。
Throughout his sixty-three years of life, CHIANG Ming-Teh endured a turbulent era marked by displacement and hardship. With his innate talent and unwavering dedication to painting, he ultimately fulfilled his own aspiration: “To stride steadfastly through the ages, and to remain radiant even when placed in the most obscure corner.”
In the later years of his life, although he suffered from prolonged illness, he persisted in walking his path alone, steadfast in his beliefs. He devoted himself tirelessly to the pursuit of art and literature, never allowing his commitment to waver.

江明德的創作,從「不是一座山;不是一棵樹,乃在山與樹之間。」的意象,衍出生命的動感與多彩。畫作中意含著風雲水漾的波動,吐納淋漓盡致的色彩哲學。在天人合一的轉寰中,以蒼勁的樹姿勾勒出畫家迂迴的人生和堅毅的意念。病逝後留下近千幅的創作,並有巨篇「歷史與傳說」的藝術理論及手稿。
CHIANG Ming-Teh’s artistic creation unfolds from the imagery of “not a mountain, not a tree, but something in between.” From this, he evokes the dynamism and rich vitality of life. His paintings are imbued with the undulating rhythms of wind, cloud, and flowing water, expressing a philosophy of color with unrestrained intensity.
Within the shifting harmony between heaven and humanity, the vigorous forms of trees delineate the artist’s winding life path and resolute spirit. After his passing due to illness, he left behind nearly a thousand works, along with the monumental artistic treatise History and Legends and its manuscripts.
