My system is not decent

Chapter 1968 Embark on the pinnacle of human art

Before liberation, in the middle reaches of the Huaihe River, it was customary for the woman to marry a three-color pottery altar as a dowry.

The round pottery altar is engraved with peonies, plum blossoms, magpies, lotus and carp, etc.

Peonies symbolize wealth, plum blossoms and magpies symbolize blissful brows, and lotus and carp symbolize surplus for years to come.

These popular themes all reflect the newlyweds' yearning for a better life.

Second, round pottery has a larger capacity and is more practical than other shaped pottery. Moreover, round pottery is not easily deformed during firing.

In the shape of Jieshou painted pottery, a large number of scientifically used S-lines are used on the basis of graphics to make the outline of the shape full of changes;

The size, width, and height of the S-curves on both sides of the front facade play an extremely important role in the capacity and overall aesthetics of pottery.

It can be seen from the examples that the shape of Jieshou painted pottery is very consistent with the golden section.

Most of the round pottery altars and pots in Jieshou painted pottery have a ratio of height to diameter of about 6:4;

The ratio of the bottom of the three-color pottery hanging plate to the bottom of the plate is also between 6:4.

Therefore, it has the lowest deformation rate during natural drying and firing.

Jieshou painted pottery makes more use of the plastic art law of change and unity.

The continuous change of S-shaped lines highlights the individual characteristics of the shape, that is, the arc is the main line and the straight line is the auxiliary;
Viewed from the side, from the bottom of the jar to the neck, it is composed of arcs with tension.

From the neck to the mouth, a few straight lines are used. Such an obvious contrast highlights its distinct personality with clear primary and secondary and contrasting straight and straight.

The curve of the main part (that is, the belly of the altar body) expands to form an inflated and almost round shape, which makes the S-line extremely exaggerated and has a full and rich visual effect.

And the use of the straight line of the neck can be said to be to the point, just right.

The use of these short straight lines plays an irreplaceable role as a foil, making the round more round and the full more full, and enriching the shape language.

That is, there is straightness in the song, and rigidity in the softness, which avoids the disadvantages of monotonous and plain shapes.

Straight lines only change in length, while arcs have strength and variety of shapes.

The organic combination of straight lines and arcs forms the aesthetic feeling of unity, coordination, balance and stability of Jieshou painted pottery.

This is the achievement of modern faience, not ceramics.

In fact, the best is still among porcelains. After making a batch of painted pottery this time, Chen Wenzhe finally returned to the production of Taoist porcelains.

So what is the peak production of porcelain since modern times?
It must be Jianguo porcelain, and it can also be said to be the pinnacle of modern ceramic art and a treasure of the times.

If you want to have a peek at the pinnacle of modern art, you must go to Jingzhen.

Chen Wenzhe is an absolute insider in the ceramic industry, but he has never been there once.

Now that his porcelain-making skills have reached its peak, it is natural and inevitable that he wants to see it.

And the first thing he wanted to see was the top ten kiln factories in the past.

Jingzhen, as the capital of porcelain for thousands of years, has been ordered to make porcelain for the imperial court since the Sui and Tang Dynasties after the baptism of thousands of years.

Since the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court directly opened the imperial kiln factory here to manufacture the imperial porcelain needed by the country.

After the founding of New China, Jingzhen still shouldered the arduous task of using porcelain for the country.

Therefore, some kiln factories also have the resounding title of national kiln.

Jingzhen has the precipitation of thousands of years of ceramic culture and unique conditions.

During that time, Jingzhen gathered the top porcelain-making talents and the highest porcelain-making craftsmanship, which truly represented the highest level of porcelain-making in the country.

This is 567 Porcelain. With the top ten porcelain factories as the core, it gathers the most peak porcelain making technology in my country and also represents the top level of contemporary ceramic production in my country.

It is also 567 porcelain, which allows Chinese ceramics to regain the world's hegemony in the world.

Whether it is the success of 567 or the brilliance of 7501 porcelain, every piece of 567 porcelain has witnessed Jingzhen’s thousand-year porcelain-making craftsmanship.

This time, since he came to these Guoyao Porcelain Factory, Lin Feifan created Jianguo Porcelain this time.

This time it is not imitation, but creation.

Of course, not to mention creation, even imitation is relatively easy.

After all, the glory of 567 porcelain is still very dazzling.

However, with Chen Wenzhe's current level, his works were quickly recognized by the world, and once again received a large number of achievement points.

"Achievement value, it seems that I haven't paid attention to it for a long time!"

Looking at the achievement points obtained, Chen Wenzhe was still very moved.

At the spring auction in 2024, all 55 pieces of porcelain in Chen Wenzhe's porcelain special sale were successfully sold.

The competition in the porcelain special session was fierce, because each piece was a high-quality product, which aroused the bidding of the buyers on site.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is the Chai Kiln Blue and White God of Wealth Statue, which was finally sold for 115 million after several rounds of bidding.

The final transaction price of the famille rose snow bowl with thin tires reached 241.5 million.

The famille rose prairie shepherdess plate finally sold for 207 million.

Zexiang Tianlun Picture·Blue and White Pile of White Appreciation Plate, the transaction price was 517 million.

Lushan Second Scenery Color Glaze Engraved Pastel Amphibian, the transaction price was 483 million.

The reason why these porcelains can be sold at such a high price must be related to Chen Wenzhe's current fame.

However, in the end it still depends on his craftsmanship, that is, the craftsmanship level of this batch of porcelain.

And in this aspect, it is precisely Chen Wenzhe's strong point.

This time, he used the craftsmanship of Jianguo Porcelain to produce such a batch of high-quality porcelain.

The brilliance of any work of art is inseparable from the polishing of the predecessors.

When it comes to 567 porcelain, we have to mention Jianguo porcelain.

It was the emergence of Jianguo porcelain that laid the direction for the development of New China porcelain.

He not only made 567 porcelain the development of contemporary ceramic art, but also laid the foundation. It can be said that without Jianguo porcelain, there would be no glory of contemporary porcelain!

So, what is Jianguo porcelain?

At the beginning of the founding of New China, a lot of waste was waiting for prosperity, and years of wars had weakened the national power so much that the newly established country did not have special tableware for state banquets for foreign guests.

In response to this situation, it is inevitable to create new China's national porcelain and national gift porcelain.

The design and production of "Jianguo Porcelain" began under such a special background.

In February 1952, experts from various fields discussed the specific plans and requirements for the development of "Jianguo Porcelain".

Subsequently, the Central Academy of Fine Arts drew up a list and established the "Jianguo Porcelain Design Committee".

Since then, a large number of outstanding artists and craftsmen have entered this industry.

This is not the past, this time it can be said that the power of the whole country has achieved this kind of treasure of the times-Jianguo Porcelain!

In the era of Jianguo Porcelain, masters gathered, and almost all skilled craftsmen worked in major porcelain factories.

These skilled craftsmen gradually became masters in the later market economy era.

It is precisely because of the birth of Jianguo porcelain that the brilliant achievements of ceramics in the 70s and [-]s came about.

During this period, the development direction of contemporary porcelain was established, which can be described as unprecedented, it is the imprint of the times, and it is also an important chapter that cannot be missed in the history of ceramics.

It's just that Jianguo Porcelain is underestimated under the atmosphere of emphasizing the past and despising the present, but it has only been sought after in these years.

Jianguo Porcelain is built with the strength of the whole country, representing the highest level of porcelain making, and its future value will be inestimable.

Therefore, a batch of porcelain made by Chen Wenzhe according to the craftsmanship of Jianguo porcelain is so sought after by people.

Jianguo Porcelain is collectively created by the most famous ceramic craftsmen in China, arts and crafts artists, cultural masters and traditional Chinese painting masters.

The quality of his official kilns, the ancient method of firing, and the efforts of many parties, seeking quality rather than quantity, regardless of cost, the quality of the finished porcelain is extremely high.

And with the disappearance of the older generation of craftsmen, the top ten porcelain factories are no longer firing, which can be called truly out-of-print porcelain!

Each piece is an appreciation myth that cannot be copied, and the surviving masterpieces are extremely rare, and they have become the swan song of masterpieces!
It is for these reasons that Chen Wenzhe's craftsmanship has been recognized by the world.

Although Jianguo porcelain is a modern work of art, its artistic achievements are high.

Chen Wenzhe's works, which can reach the level of Jianguo porcelain, are naturally of extremely high quality.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe's technical level has reached a state where he can be at the top of the mountain and see the small mountains at a glance.

However, he is still pursuing.

Now with just a few strokes, he has outlined the image of Pan Jinlian jumping out.

This is to start from the basics of painting, practice sketching, and draw sketches. He learns from nature and learns from others.

He set foot in the countryside and forests, and traveled far to the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, which broadened his horizons, broadened his thinking, and enriched his creative sources.

Step by step like this, Chen Wenzhe will eventually reach the pinnacle of human art!
