Chinese treasures in the New York Museum (16 photos)

Euphronios Krater (Euphronios Krater)

Even if it is very deliberately avoided, Some museums continue to struggle with accusations of using informal means to obtain rare artifacts, such as Euphronios vases. This 2,500-year-old pottery bottle with exquisite ornate patterns, used to hold water and wine, was acquired by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Metropolitan Museum) in 1972 through informal means for $100. The museum was extremely excited to get this pottery bottle, because there are few works by the ancient pottery painter Euphronios, but they actually bought it from Robert at such a low price. He bought it from Robert Hecht, who was wanted by the Italian government for secretly reselling and plundering cultural relics.

Edit this section to introduce the exhibition of traditional Chinese ink painting

The traditional Chinese art of calligraphy and painting is a "mystery" that is endlessly charming and difficult to decipher in the eyes of many foreigners. The mystery and answer to this "mystery" are actually related to ink writing. The "Ink: The Art of Calligraphy in China" exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in early September featured 70 works by ancient and modern Chinese calligraphy and painting artists, providing new opportunities and possibilities for solving this profound "mystery". It aroused strong interest from many American artists and visitors.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States rarely holds exhibitions of Chinese calligraphy and painting works. When it does, it mainly displays the works of ancient calligraphers and painters. This time, the exhibition organizers specially selected the works of six contemporary Chinese calligraphy and painting artists. The purpose is to find the "code" of inheritance from the development trajectory of Chinese calligraphy and painting art, to reflect the continuity of an ancient culture, and the ancient ink painting The current evolving state of the art of writing. These six contemporary Chinese painting and calligraphy artists are: Wang Dongling (Hangzhou), Wang Tiande (Shanghai), Wang Zhan (Beijing), Gu Wenda (New York), Xu Bing (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 Fu, Li Gonglin, Zhao Mengfu, Dong Qichang, Fu Shan, Mi Wanzhong, Ni Zan, etc., form a line of Chinese ink writing art The river is unforgettable. Local media said: "The Metropolitan Museum of Art has not had such a lively scene for a long time."

It is worth mentioning that the expression techniques used in the works of the six contemporary artists are not purely traditional. Instead, it incorporates many modern elements. For example, Wang Dongling's work is abstract calligraphy, Wang Tiande's work uses ancient ironing techniques and modern digital technology, Xu Bing's exhibition is his original "English Chinese character calligraphy", Zhan Wang's work is a Taihu stone sculpture, and Gu Wenda's is quite A seal script work with the meaning of ink and landscape, Qin Feng is a modern calligraphy.

Perhaps what the organizer values ??is not the form, but a tradition and a spirit, which is an artist’s understanding of the writing quality of Chinese ink expressed through a unique medium. It is not difficult to understand why they included Taihu stone sculptures in the category of "ink writing" and made this comment in the local media: "This installation traces the 1,600-year history of calligraphy. (Calligraphy) has gone through several The continuous development climax has until now transformed from a universal academic symbol to an abstract art. "From this passage, we can see how the traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting art and modern art can be integrated and understood by each other, which may also be the organizer of this exhibition. One of the purposes.

It is reported that the 70 works on display this time are all permanent collections selected from relevant collection institutions and collectors in the United States. The exhibition will last until mid-January 2007. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a museum that mainly collects art from all over the world.

Photography Exhibition

From June 3 to September 1, "Viewing of the Century: Masters of Photography, 1840~1940" held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Metropolitan Museum of Art) The photography exhibition is unique and creative, giving viewers a wonderful feeling. The exhibition not only revisits the history itself, but also shows the development of the art of photography. The works of 13 outstanding photographers have their own uniqueness. They explore photography from different perspectives and purposes. They use cameras to discover themselves, photography, and the world. The stunning works of 13 photography masters are being exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States. On display at the museum's "Century Viewing: Masters of Photography, 1840~1940" photography exhibition, these works not only review the history itself, but also show the development of the art of photography.

From daguerreotypes to mobile phone snapshots, the history of photography has presented the world with a series of miracles, and each change has profoundly rewritten our understanding of the unity of time and space. As it evolves, photography also performs wonders from another perspective, that is, by helping us connect with a past we have never witnessed.

The exhibition adopts the model of exhibitions by new and old painters, and is curated by Malcolm Daniel of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Photography Department. "Century Viewing" shows the century-old history of photography through the works of 13 photography masters and their important historical influence.

The photography exhibition lists 13 photography masters. The photos displayed by each master range from 10 to 16, all of which are their stunning works. From William Henry Fox Talbot, the British gentleman who invented Kahlo photography to replace daguerreotypes, to Walker Evans and Mann, the American photographers who loved the classical and rustic style. · Man Ray, then to street photography genius Henri Cartier-Bresson and night photography master French photographer Brassai. Also included are landscape photos by Roger Fenton, Gustave Le Gray and Carleton E Watkins; French photographer Nadar (Nadar) and the famous female photographer Julia Margaret Cameron (Julia Margaret Cameron); photos of Paris and France in the 18th and early 19th centuries taken by French photographer Charles Marville and others.

All works are basically arranged in chronological order, and the exhibition is like the development of photography itself, from static to dynamic, from landscapes and ruins to cityscapes, from people in the studio to people in action. The camera's first great works were nature and buildings. They were ubiquitous, interesting, and relatively static, perfect material for the early, cumbersome cameras.

Edit this section Famous Photos of Fox Talbot

The oldest photo in the exhibition is a copy of Fox Talbot’s photograph of objects, taken around In 1835, a gray photosensitive paper was used as the background, with a barely visible fern branch above. Reproductions are exhibited because the originals would be completely destroyed if exposed. The other 15 works by Fox Talbot are all-encompassing, including landscape photos and portrait photos, as well as his famous work "Open Door" (Open Door). In just a few years, he took the camera from its primitive stage to sophisticated photography. His last work in the exhibition is a gravure photo of a dandelion, where even the down is clearly visible.

Daniel

Daniel's criteria for selecting works are to strive to show the creative type of each photographer. For example, Roger Fenton moved from Victorian style to modern photography. One of his works is based on the ruins of the famous medieval Waller Abbey in Yorkshire. The center of the photo is a praying woman, which is very meaningful. The rest of his photographs, such as the railway in Balaklava, a port in Crimea, show him as perhaps the world's first photojournalist. Another photograph of the interior of Salisbury Cathedral perfectly combines his two different styles.

Gray

Most of Gray's works depict the forests, sea and sky of the small town of Fontainebleau in northern France, while Watkins focuses on the rugged and rugged American West. , desolate and vast natural features, geography and deep soul sensibility are combined in his works. One of Fenton's photographs shows a recumbent woman, tightly wrapped in an exotic Middle Eastern robe. Next to it hangs a portrait of a naked woman by Le Gray, completely naked. Is this a big showdown in the style of Britain and France? Maybe. However, the women in both photos seem to be trying their best to avoid looking at the camera. This is not difficult to explain why the impressionist master Monet's painting "Olympia" is so shocking. The naked woman in that painting does not avoid the gaze of the world.

In the exhibition halls displaying the works of Baldus, Atget and Marvell, they are all Paris - old and new Paris, Paris in the transitional period. Marvell not only photographed the tranquility of the man lying under the chestnut tree, but also recorded Paris before and after the redesign by the famous French urban planner Baron Haussmann.

Some other works show the development of modern photographic art: with a hand-held camera, you can take pictures based on your feelings at any time. It also proves that photography is an experimental art that started with machinery, developed in the studio, and finally relied on technology. Under the promotion, we will continue to achieve artistic progress and perfection.
