Wang Bu and Picasso

The Chinese ceramic blue and white king stepped, and the world art giant Picasso, the two naturally did not know. But when I walked into Shanghai's "Meet Picasso" exhibition, standing in front of Picasso's "Peace Pigeon" pottery plate, I suddenly thought of Wang Bu and his high -temperature peach red glaze white pigeon porcelain board. Both pigeon works were created in the 1950s.

The white pigeon in the Wangbu porcelain plate is dynamic, and the white pigeons are durate and glaze. The wings are delicate and rich in layers. The peach red glaze and the pile white were successfully fired at a high temperature at a high temperature. That was the breakthrough of Wang Bu who was at the time of the Tao Research Institute of Jingdezhen at that time. Once such works appeared, they could always attract attention in the market and auction room.

At the moment, the Picasso's "Peace Pigeon" pottery plate was created in 1953. Although there are a few strokes, they are very chic. Pigeon is one of Picasso's favorite animals. It is said that he liked to feed pigeons on a small square near Maraga, hometown as a child to see them fly freely. In 1949, Picasso's print "Pigeon" was selected as a poster for the Paris Defense Peace Conference. In 1950, his "Flying Pigeon" appeared in the second world of defending peace. Since then For the symbol of peace.

In the 1950s, China had just completed the great cause of the founding of the country, and the West also ended the World War II battlefields, crossed the mountains and the sea, and the east and the west artists were so tacit that they were sent to peace with their wings. Although these two pigeons have extremely different appearances and personalities, they are unique, and they are both in the charm blessing of fire and soil, which will be permanently preserved in the moment of high -speed wings. Datong in the world, is human hobbies for peace and ceramics?

Although Picasso and ceramics were the "old years" that Chinese people said, the creation of this old man was completely unrestrained, and he was full of imagination. In the early days of the creation of glazing and multiple firing problems, he directly shaped the form of birds, pigeons, and owls on the clay clay. When the understanding of the process has made breakthroughs, he breaks the graphics performance of the plane. Through freely adjusting the form and proportion of the pottery, the decorative interesting elements are successfully implanted into various containers, making it a ceramic that takes into account the function of use functions. Sculpture. The "Lantern of Women's Avatar" in the exhibition is such a work, and I have the fortune to collect a similar type. It is really durable and very interesting.

In the exhibition, there is also "a plate of fish" firmly grasping my sight, which is really a high -level work. At that time, most of the common plates in the Mediterranean area were mostly width and deep on the bottom of the plate. Picasso obviously gave full play to his creativity. Three -dimensional, shape a vivid sense of space. Picasso can always use it to use it. For example, in many of his bullfighting theme pottery creation, the central turning in the market has transformed into a arena, and the edge of the plate has become a galestand. These ideas are really wonderful.

Although Picasso stepped into ceramic creation in his later years, this is undoubtedly his very important and fruitful creative field. He sincerely and enthusiastically embrace the creation of pottery, bold and freely explore the mystery of soil and fire. In the pair of "Jacqueline's Side Outline", it fully reflects the possibility of Picasso's possibility of glaze and ceramic clay. Try it full. This black and white portrait, the contrast between the bright glaze and the matte glaze, can be imagined that the Picasso at that time was to explore the spirit of the pottery. Without the enthusiasm for art, there will never be such a natural work.

Some people commented: "Picasso's ceramic art in his later years can actually reflect his skillful styling ability that he is doing together with nature and has high aesthetic value." Compared to Picasso's gorgeous and mature paintings, Picasso's ceramic art in his later years is indeed indeed. More "childish" innocence. Perhaps on the carrier of ceramics, Picasso's goal of "painting like children" is completely achieved. Whether it is a plate, crock, vase, sculpture, the whimsical and unexpected works penetrate the natural and warm atmosphere.

Over the years, Picasso's exhibition has been opened many times in Shanghai. However, it was the first time that the Picasso ceramic art created at one time was the first time. This made me very surprised to the exhibition of "Meet Picasso -Genius Passion and Eternity" held in the museum.

Recalling the last time I could enjoy the Picasso pottery works, it was already a matter of visiting the Picasso Museum of Barcelona, ​​Spain 5 years ago and the Valencia National Ceramics Museum. I really hope that the world is peaceful, the global turmoil and epidemic are dispersed. I can wait for the wings to show their wings as usual, and I will fly into the museums that are nostalgic for people and nostalgia around the world.
