New york Museum's China Treasures (16)

Flogny Oskrat, flogny.

Even if they deliberately avoid it, it is still difficult for some museums to get rid of being accused of using informal means to obtain some rare cultural relics, such as flogny ostrich bottles. This 2500-year-old pottery bottle with exquisite and gorgeous patterns was bought by the Metropolitan Museum in 1972 at the price of 100 USD. The museum was very excited to get this vase, because the works of ancient pottery painter Euflogny Oss were very rare, but they bought it at such a low price from Robert Hecht, who was wanted by the Italian government for secretly selling and plundering cultural relics. So just when the curator of the Metropolitan Museum wanted to know where this pottery bottle came from, the museum received a phone call from Italy. It turned out that the pottery bottle was first found outside Rome, and the Italian side demanded to return it.

Edit this exhibition to introduce China traditional ink painting exhibition.

In the eyes of many foreigners, China's traditional painting and calligraphy art is a "mystery" with infinite charm and difficult to decipher. The mystery and the answer to this mystery are actually related to the writing of ink and wash. At the beginning of September, the exhibition "Ink and Wash: China's Writing Art" held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA, exhibited 70 works by ancient and modern China painters and painters, which provided new opportunities and possibilities for solving this profound mystery and aroused the keen interest of many American artists and visitors.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art rarely holds exhibitions of China's paintings and calligraphy works, and occasionally exhibits mainly the works of ancient painters and painters. The organizer of this exhibition specially selected the works of six contemporary China painting and calligraphy artists, aiming at finding the "code" of inheritance from the development track of China painting and calligraphy art, reflecting the continuation of an ancient culture and the current evolution of ancient ink painting art. These six contemporary China painting and calligraphy artists are Wang Dongling (Hangzhou), Wang Tiande (Shanghai), Prospect (Beijing), Gu Wenda (new york), Bing Xu (new york) and Qin Feng (Boston).

The works of these six contemporary artists, together with the works of ancient artists such as Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei, Li, Zhao Mengfu, Dong Qichang, Fu Shan, Mi and Ni Zan, constitute a river of China ink painting art, which makes people linger. The local media said: "The Metropolitan Museum of Art has not seen such a lively scene for a long time."

It is worth mentioning that the expression techniques used in the works of six contemporary artists are not pure traditions, but incorporate many modern elements. For example, Wang Dongling's works are abstract calligraphy, Wang Tiande's works use ancient bleaching techniques and modern digital technology, Xu Bing shows his original "English Chinese Character Calligraphy", and his forward-looking works are Taihu Stone Sculpture, Gu Wenda's seal script works with a sense of ink and landscape, and Qin Feng's modern calligraphy.

Perhaps, the organizer values not the form, but a tradition and a spirit, which is an artist's understanding of China's ink and wash writing through a unique carrier. It is not difficult to understand why they classified the stone carvings in Taihu Lake as "ink painting" and commented in the local media: "This installation works back to the history of calligraphy 1600 years. After several continuous development climaxes, (calligraphy) has now changed from a universal academic symbol to an abstract art. From this passage, it can be seen that how to make China's traditional painting and calligraphy art and modern art integrate and understand each other may also be one of the purposes of the organizer to hold this exhibition.

It is reported that 70 works on display this time are permanent collections selected from relevant American collectors and collectors. The exhibition will last until the middle of 2007 10. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a museum that mainly collects works of art from all over the world. It was built at the end of19th century, and now it is a leading large museum in the world.

photographic?exhibition

1 From June 3rd to September 6th, 2000, the photography exhibition "Looking Back at the Century: Photographers, 1840~ 1940" held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States was unique and gave visitors a wonderful feeling. The exhibition not only relives the history itself, but also shows the development of photography. 13 The works of excellent photographers have their own uniqueness. They explore photography with their own different perspectives and purposes. They use cameras to discover themselves, photography and the world. 13 photographers' stunning works are on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's "Century View: Photographers, 1840 ~ 1940" photo exhibition. these are

From silver plate photography to mobile phone snapshot, the history of photography has shown a series of miracles to the world, and every change has profoundly rewritten our understanding of the unity of time and space. With its development, photography also shows miracles from another angle, that is, it helps us to establish contact with the past that we have never seen before.

The exhibition adopts the mode of joint exhibition of old and new painters, and is planned by Malcolm Daniel of the photography department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "View of the Century" shows the hundred-year history of photography through the works of 13 photographers and their important historical influence.

The photo exhibition lists 13 photographers, and the photos displayed by each master range from 10 to 16, all of which are their amazing works. From William Henry Fox Talbot, an English gentleman who invented Carroll photography instead of silver plate photography, to Walker Evans and man ray, American photographers who love classical simplicity, to Henry Cartier-Blacet, a genius of street photography, and Brasett, a French photographer who is a master of night photography. Among them are the landscape photos of Roger Fenton, Gustav Le Grey and Carlton E Watkins; Portrait photos of French photographer Nadal and famous female photographer Julia Margaret Cameron; French photographer Charles Marville and others took photos of Paris and France in the early18th century and19th century.

All the works are basically arranged in chronological order. Exhibition is like the development of photography itself, from static to dynamic, from scenery and ruins to urban features, from people in the studio to people in activities. The first great works of the camera were nature and architecture, which were ubiquitous, interesting and relatively static, and they were just the best materials for early bulky cameras.

Edit this famous photo taken by Fox Talbot.

One of the oldest photos in the exhibition is a copy of Fox Talbot's photo, which was taken in about 1835. The background is a gray photosensitive paper with a fern leaf barely visible on it. Replicas are exhibited because once the original is exposed, it will be completely destroyed. Fox Talbot's other 15 works are all-encompassing, including landscape photos and people photos, as well as his masterpiece Open the Door. In just a few years, he made the camera move from the primitive stage to complex photography. His last work in the exhibition is an intaglio photo of dandelion, even the fluff can be clearly distinguished.

Daniel (male name)

Daniel's selection criteria for his works is to try his best to show each photographer's creative type. For example, Roger Fenton turned from Victorian style to modern photography. One of his works is set in the ruins of the famous medieval Waller monastery in Yorkshire, and the center of the photo is a woman praying, which is meaningful. The rest of his photos, such as the railway in the Crimean port of Balaclava, show that he may be the first photojournalist in the world. Another photo taken in Salisbury Cathedral completely combines his two different styles.

grey

Most of Gray's works are the beautiful scenery of the forest and sea and sky in Fontainebleau, a small town in northern France, while Watkins focuses on the rugged, desolate and vast natural scenery in the western United States, combining geography with sensibility in his works. One of Fenton's photos shows a woman lying in an exotic Middle Eastern robe, tightly wrapped. There is a nude portrait of Legre hanging next to it, naked. Is this a showdown between Britain and France? Maybe it is. However, the women in both photos seem to be trying to avoid looking at the camera, which is not difficult to explain why the painting "Olympia" by impressionist master Monet is so shocking, and the naked woman in that painting has not avoided the eyes of the world.

In the exhibition halls where the works of Baudes, Atge and Marville are exhibited, there are all Paris-old Paris and new Paris, Paris in transition. Marville not only photographed the tranquility of men lying under chestnut trees, but also recorded Paris before and after Baron Osman's re-planning.

Other works show the development of modern photography art: holding a camera, you can take pictures by feeling at any time, and also prove that photography is an experimental art, starting from machinery, developing in the studio, and finally achieving artistic progress and perfection under the promotion of technology.
