人物画在中国绘画史上一向有着很高的地位,其发展的高峰时期曾出现过东晋顾恺之和唐代吴道子那样彪炳史册的杰出画家。随着山水、花鸟画的独立成科与兴盛,人物画则日渐式微,元代以降,除了明代陈洪绶、清末任伯年等少数画家外,则很难再觅到真正有高成就的画家。近代之后,人物画才又有所转机,中国画家根植传统艺术并掺入西洋表现方法,为人物画的发展注入了新鲜的血液。一个多世纪以来,中国人物画坛英才辈出,中青年一代画家也在迅速崛起,尚可便是这其中较有影响的一位。 Figure painting in the history of Chinese painting has always had a high status, the peak of its development has appeared in the Eastern Jin Dynasty Gu Kaizhi and Tang Dynasty Wu Daozi that outstanding history painter of history. As landscapes, flower and bird paintings became independent and prosperous, figure paintings became increasingly diminished and the Yuan Dynasty was reduced. Except for a few artists such as Chen Hongshou in the Ming Dynasty and Ren Bainian in the late Qing Dynasty, it is very hard to find real painters with high achievements. After the modern period, the figure painting turned around again. Chinese painters rooted in the traditional art and incorporated into the Western expression methods, injecting fresh blood into the development of figure painting. For more than a century, there have been many influential figures in the field of Chinese figure painting, as well as the rise of young and middle-aged painters.
