楚汉丧葬帛画至今已出土了20余幅,其中两幅战国楚墓帛画及两幅西汉“T”形帛画,仍是至今所能见到的最早的独幅中国画作品的代表。作品中反映出来的绘画思维方式、空间意识、造型特征及表现方法,对我们认识民族绘画的多元传统有着不可替代的作用。因而,对其内容的正确释读和综合研究便成了一件非常重要的工作。 So far, more than 20 paintings have been unearthed in the funeral of Chu and Han dynasties. Two silk paintings of the Warring States Period and two “T” silk paintings of the Western Han Dynasty are still the earliest representations of single-format Chinese paintings that can be seen so far. The way of thinking of painting, the sense of space, the characteristics of modeling and the methods of expression reflected in the works play an irreplaceable role in our understanding of the pluralistic tradition of national painting. Therefore, the correct interpretation of its content and comprehensive study has become a very important task.
