Ceramic Zhushan Eight Friends Collection and Attention Problems

The “Zhushan Bayou” boutique has become one of the most closely watched items in the “Inheriting, Leaping Over—** Porcelain Art Exhibition”. “Pearl Mountain Eight Friends” represented the highest artistic achievement of the literati painting school at that time and pushed Jingdezhen's new ceramic pastels to a new height. It has been difficult to surpass it and it has written an extremely brilliant one in the history of Chinese porcelain painting.

Pastel porcelain was created in the late Qing Dynasty Kangxi. Because it is rich in color, elegant and soft, it is also called soft color. It is introduced in the color material with arsenic dubbed glass white glaze color, giving a clean and beautiful sense of beauty, it is called pastel, and then gradually developed into the mainstream of Jingdezhen ceramic production. During the period of **, the Jingdezhen porcelain painting industry was based on individual workshop-style production and management. It was called “red shop” and could be roughly divided into “artistic color industry”, “freehand color industry” and “court color industry”.

The art color industry refers to high-grade art porcelain. During the period of **, the art color industry followed the traditional techniques of ceramic products, fine carcass, enamel, net, rigorous organization of the structure, the screen is neat and tidy, inherited the techniques of the Pastry during the Yongzheng and Qianlong eras, fine craftsmanship, strict rules. On the painting, the pen is soft and soft, and the color is bright and gorgeous.

In the ** period of fine arts in the period of **, with the “Zhushan Eight Friendships” as representative, a group of artists successively devoted themselves to the research and exploration of pastel painting, learning from, using and absorbing the nutrition of Chinese paintings, and techniques used to improve traditional pastels. And aesthetic, the composition of the work is flexible, the painting is clear, the brushwork is refined, and the color is elegant. These artists not only have good painting skills, but also have high attainments in poem writing and calligraphy, stone and other aspects, and strive to perfectly blend the techniques of poetry, calligraphy, painting, printing, and porcelain making a ceramic decorative art. The school has made an indelible contribution to the development of the porcelain industry in Jingdezhen and raised the cultural taste of pastel porcelain art.

Due to the differences in personality, experience, accomplishment, and temperament of this group of artists, the selection of subjects, image features, performance techniques, and other aspects also have their own characteristics, making the art industry flourishing in the ** period, as painted by Wang Qi, “Powder Meaning” "Peach Garden Porcelain Plate" absorbs Western painting techniques on figure paintings. The character has a strong three-dimensional image, and the line drawing is elegant and bright. Cheng Yiting painted "Pink Flowers, Birds, Plum Blossoms, Porcelain, and Porcelain Plates," with fine craftsmanship that is not delicate, elegant but not superficial, and shaped and born of God.

It is not a long time for the works of Zhushan Bayou to be valued. In recent years, the Jingdezhen Ceramics Museum has held the "Jingdezhen Ceramic Art Exhibition of the Nearest 100 Years" and "The Zhuhai Eight Friends" Exhibition in Beijing, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Hong Kong, and Macao successively. In addition, related ceramics and "Year of Zhushan "The advent of albums and other books made the eyes of collectors begin to aim at the "Zhushan Eight Friends." With the recent broadcast of the "Zhushan Eight Friends" theme by CCTV, the collection market of "Zhushan Bayou" works is getting hotter.

From the perspective of professional research, the “Year of Zhushan Eight Friends” represents an era, and this era is from now on, it is an era with no past and no future. As an art group, they jointly created a period of artistic glory. In terms of personal accomplishment, they possess the necessary connotation and culture of literati painters such as poetry, words, music, calligraphy, and painting; in the field of industry, they have a keen grasp of ceramic materials, tools, and craftsmanship characteristics, making them in the field of ceramic art. Open up a broad space for artistic expression, and between the traditional ceramic decoration and the modern painting art, we have initiated a new ceramic art field - ceramic painting.

The works of “Zhushan Bayou” each have their own unique artistic style. The value of their works is not only reflected in the value of art, but also in historical values ​​and scientific values. We have included the works of Zhushan Eight Friends as artifacts. Category. Their time background, art history, painting skills, performance forms, and artistic ideas all deserve our research and exploration.

Because of this, it is not surprising that the works of “Zhushan Bayou” are sought after, and the market should continue to rise. It is likely to become another peak following the Qing Dynasty Kangkang, Qiang and Qianguan kiln pastel porcelain, but I It seems that time seems to be a bit late.

Here, I would like to remind collectors that the collection of "Zhushan Eight Friends" must be cautious and cautious, because Jingdezhen had a group of people more than ten years ago to imitate "Zhushan Eight Friends" works, and it was almost unrealistic. In fact, there were imitations at the same time and later at the same time in the Zhushan Eight Friends. I often see it in the hands of some museums and Tibetan friends. In order to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood, Wang Qi, Wang Dafan, Wang Yeting, and others all used cursive or even made characters. Like hieroglyphs or like Zhong Dingwen, they are like ordinary books. They are extremely difficult to identify. At the same time and later some of the imitation goods are relatively rough, most of the instrument type are daily utensils, and now imitation products are very accurate, the title is also very similar, many pairs of pairs, the instrument type is the bottle, Board display.
