Chapter 237: Tang Sancai of Abstraction!
Xiao Zhang's words aroused the old man's interest, how much does this kid know about Tang Sancai?
This can know the phoenix head pot is enough to prove that this person must be a senior lover of Tang Sancai.
But you can still tell the difference between the two phoenix head pots hidden in Shaanxi and Beijing, which is amazing.
Xiao Zhang continued to smile and said: "Old man, I can't hide it, I have been working as a tinkerer apprentice in the Forbidden City before, so I have been fortunate to see the original of this phoenix head pot a few times, so I still know what this phoenix head pot in the Palace Museum in the capital is like!"
Xiao Zhang paused and continued: "This pot has an ingenious shape, and the plastic paste technique makes the picture have a bas-relief effect, the image is bright and prominent, the lines are smooth, and the colors are bright and gorgeous, which can be called a good product!"
Xiao Zhang looked at the one in front of him and continued: "This phoenix head pot became popular in the early Tang Dynasty, it is a common shape in Tang Sancai pottery, it is the same as another common double dragon handle pot in the same period, obviously has the Persian Sassanian style of ware modeling, this kind of clever combination of foreign culture and traditional national art decoration techniques, is the Tang Sancai modeling innovation! So whether it is from the shape or from the glaze, this phoenix head pot in front of you is definitely an imitation of the cultural relics in the Beijing Museum Phoenix head pot! ”
The old man clapped his hands again and again and said: "Completely correct, this phoenix head pot has the characteristics of Bosssanian style utensils, you all know, young man, you are really not simple!"
The old man secretly said that he couldn't help Xiao Zhang.
If Xiao Zhang can even understand this phoenix head pot so thoroughly!......
The old man suddenly remembered a canned Tang Sancai work! If Xiao Zhang could study this work thoroughly! Then the old man really admired Xiao Zhang's Tang Sancai sea of knowledge!
It's too deep!
Have no bottom......
"Let's go, I'll show you the next one!" the old man continued.
Leaving the display cabinet of the phoenix head pot, Xiao Zhang, under the leadership of the old man, walked to the side of an exhibition cabinet.
This Tang Sancai! Xiao Zhangleng paused.
This is not easy!
This Tang Sancai can be said to be both familiar and unfamiliar!
This really made Xiao Zhang a little uncertain.
Because the shape of this Tang Sancai's work is too simple.
It's as simple as an ordinary-looking jar!
The height is about 22.5 cm, the maximum diameter is about 21.8 cm in the middle of the can, and the diameter is about 6 cm......
It's really a very ordinary jar......
Basically, the hometown pickles salted cucumbers...... The jars used for marinating salted duck eggs are similar to this one......
The only difference is that the color of the body of this jar is too unusual.
The overall style is mainly green, with some reddish-yellow patches in the middle, and some dark brown glaze lines that are completely striped vertically on top of the green glaze......
At first glance, the overall glaze is very messy......
But when you look closely, it looks like a rich forest......
The dark brown glaze streaks resemble branches of a tree rising from the ground......
The reddish-yellow patches that dot it are like the fruit or leaves of a tree......
This large area of green glaze is chaotic but methodical...... It's like a regular and intricate leaf on it!
It's amazing!
At first glance, it looks like a green flower jar......
But the more you look at it, the more you can get a more striking feeling from the glaze that is displayed in it......
This glaze configuration is quite powerful!
This even has the feeling of a Van Gogh painting, a starry sky......
That feeling of extreme abstraction!
This artistic conception is truly invincible......
It was the first time Xiao Zhang saw such an amazing Tang Sancai work!
This is all the artistic conception of burning!
If the two mandarin duck statues or phoenix head pots that I saw before reflect the exquisiteness of Tang Sancai's firing model, then this green glazed jar is the ultimate in artistic conception......
And not at all on a notch!
The firing of this Tang Sancai green glaze pot can almost be said to be a craftsman at the same level as Lou Gensheng, a master of Ru porcelain firing!
This can be seen in the feel of this jar.
It's not easy......
Does Xiao Zhang know about this can?
Of course!
Xiao Zhang knows this can!
But in Xiao Zhang's magnificent Tang Sancai Grandmaster-level theoretical knowledge......
Xiao Zhang only knew the name of the jar......
For the rest of it, it is very little......
"How is it, what do you think of this jar?" the old man looked at Xiao Zhang with interest.
Since Xiao Zhang saw this jar, his eyes have been fixed on the jar and he has never left.
That's right, it's been a full minute.
Xiao Zhang seemed to be carefully looking at the beauty of the glaze on this pot......
This glaze is the result of natural diffusion and flow......
It's not like blue and white porcelain or enamel, but the glaze is painted on it little by little!
It's really not that real......
If the painting is the same as the real thing, it is called realistic......
The embodiment of the painting is the spirit and the artistic conception, and there is no real painting...... It's called freehand......
So this big jar...... It's beyond the realm of freehand!
Even in Chinese ink painting, there are some heavy colors!
Some will be called capitalized!
But even the freehand is hard to describe the beauty of the glaze of this jar......
Perhaps this is the reason why the Western school of painting eventually became the abstract school......
Because that's the only word that can describe this amazing style!
Some people think that this abstract is just incomprehensible and messy when they look at the word abstract......
In fact, if you can't understand the mess, there is also a classification......
In the field of Western art......
This kind of incomprehensible mess is also called surrealism, fauvism, impressionism, realism......
and so on, all of which are artistic realms that ordinary people can't appreciate or understand......
And that's the case with this big jar with green glaze!
Is this extreme abstraction a perfect representation of the vibrant jungle-like effect......
The jar is just like the pattern on display......
Its name is - Tang Sancai Wannian Pot!
A jar up to twenty-two centimeters without handles, without spouts, without lids......
It's called the Ten Thousand Years Pot!
Of course, there are also those called 10,000-year-old jars......
"Old man, this Tang Sancai work is a 10,000-year-old pot!" Xiao Zhang finally looked away, and then said lightly.
It is more accurate to call it a Wannian pot......
The old man nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "Yes, it is a 10,000-year-old pot!"
Xiao Zhang nodded and said: "The old gentleman is really embarrassed for me! Such a grandmaster-level Tang Sancai work is beyond the scope of what I can evaluate! In the face of such Tang Sancai's works, I can't comment on it! Old man, I'm really sorry......"
Xiao Zhang chose to remain silent......
