Chen Mingyuan

112 Fine, Rare, Brilliant Yixing Teapot by Chen Mingyuan, late 17th to early 18th century, potted in purplish-brown clay in the form of a half melon with six horizontal segments and flattened base, circular lid with fitted cover, short arched spout and arched handle with flanged thumb rest, the flat base with an impressed square seal reading “made by Chen Mingyuan” and having the remnants of an attached paper label with inked Chinese characters, the teapot accompanied by an original carrying/presentation box with calligraphic inscription, h. 3‑7/8”, l. 7‑3/4”. [25000/40000] Illustrated

Chen Mingyuan is an almost legendary figure and is acknowledged as possibly the finest of the Qing Yixing potters. His works included not only pieces of utilitarian usage, but many whimsical pieces of naturalistic and archaic inspiration, including figures of snails, mushrooms, beans, peppers, bamboo shoots and one of his best works, peanuts. His teapots exhibit his amazing artistic range from the very plain to very detailed depictions of tree sections often with attached animal figures. The dates of Chen’s working period are not firmly established. It is believed that he was first listed in the Yixing County Gazetteer in the year 1686, the 25th year of the Kangxi reign, where he is listed in spite of his “relatively young age”. It also seems he may have worked into the relatively short reign of the Yongzheng reign. An almost identical example of this “melon” teapot is illustrated in Themes and Variations, The Zisha Pottery of Chen Mingyuan, page 155, item #57, in the Shanghai Museum, edited by Lai Suk Yee and Tse Bartholomew.

Qi Baishi is possibly the greatest of modern Chinese painters and his works are collected worldwide by museums and private collectors. His very personal style developed over the years after beginning studies with master Wang Xiangyi in the late 19th century and continuing with his integration into the artistic circles of Beijing. He began teaching traditional Chinese painting at the Beijing Art Academy in 1927, while expanding his personal style into contemporary areas. His career continued throughout the turmoil of early 20th century China. In 1953 he was named “People’s Artist” by the Central Cultural Ministry and in 1954 he was elected the Hunan province representative of the National People’s Congress. Qi Baishi died on September 16, 1957.

Li Keran (1907-1989) Wu Guanzhong was one of China’s best known contemporary painters whose popularity, both inside and outside of China, continues to rise. In 1936 he joined the National Arts Academy of Hangzhou studying both Chinese and Western painting techniques. After studying in Paris at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts, he introduced Western aspects of painting to his students at the Central Academy of Art in Beijing. He was banned from painting and teaching at the start of the Cultural Revolution and was sent to Hebei Province for hard labor. Wu’s art has been shown in Singapore, Tokyo, Korea, Great Britain and the United States of America, to acclaim and superior reviews. He passed away on June 25, 2010, but his influence continues to exert itself both in Asia and the West.

Li was another child prodigy beginning his artistic career at age 13. He studied at Shanghai Art College studying both tradition Chinese painting and Western art. He learned from Kang Youwei who stressed artistic foundation should be built upon Song academic painting and the realistic tradition of Western painting. He also studied under Andre Claoudit and then developed his abstract and structural style. His experimentation with wash technique began in 1934. Li joined the faculty of the Beijing National Art College in 1946 and came under the tutelage of Qi Baishi and Huang Binhong. His relationship with Qi became very close and Qi acclaimed him to be the most important painter in the post QianlongJiaqing, period. His legacy is not that of a traditionalist nor reformer but as a pioneer in blending techniques into a distinctive “modern” Chinese style. He attracted numerous students who established the “Li School” in the 1980’s. Li died in 1989.

Wang Xisan is probably the best-known modern painter of inside snuff bottles, His works are highly sought after by collectors world-wide and are in the collections of major museums. Wang Xisan became enthralled by inside painted bottles (“Nei Hua”) as a child visiting the fairs at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. Eventually he studied the art with Ye Xiaofeng and Ye Benqi, sons of the late 19th century master Ye Zhongsan, and was the first student outside of the Ye family to be trained by this illustrious family. Because of his extraordinary talent, Wang Xisan has been assured a place in the history of Chinese art. In 1968 he founded the Ji School of Inside Painting Art which has evolved into the Xisan Academy of Art and Design. Today, at 73 years of age, he continues to guide and teach students. An extensive biography of Wang Xisan can be found in J.H. Leung, A New Look of Chinese Inside Painted Snuff Bottles (Yang Xin Xuan Art Books, 1990) pp.16‑37; near-identical examples to the present lot are illustrated there on p. 27, items4 and 4B.

Liu Haisu was something of a child prodigy, entering painting school in Shanghai at age 14 under the guidance of Zhou Xiang. When he was 17, he opened the first school of fine arts in modern China along with Wu Shiguang, creating something of a scandal as his school was co-educational and pioneered the use of human body models. This earned him the appellation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;artist traitorâ&#x20AC;?. He visited Europe twice and corresponded with Picasso and Matisse and was influenced by them and their artistic theories. He passed away in August, 1994.

For purchases made by cash, check or wire transfer, the buyer’s premium shall be discounted 3% of this 23%. The bidder is responsible for calling the Company for sales results during the week after the sale. Dealers purchasing for resale must enter appropriate Dealer Resale Number on this form and provide the Company with proper documentation. The Company does not pack or ship items purchased at auction.
