Jewad Selim (Iraq, 1919-1961)Pitcher ceramic sculpturesigned 'J.S' and dated '1949' (on the base), executed in 194920 x 11cm (7 7/8 x 4 5/16in).Footnotes:A highly significant 1949 ceramic work by Jewad Selim exhibited at the Institute of Fine Arts, BaghdadProvenance:Property from a private collection, EnglandFormerly property from the collection of the renowned Iraqi architect Said Ali Madhloom (1921-2017)Acquired directly from the artist by the aboveExhibited:Fourth exhibition of the Baghdad Modern Art group, April 13 - 19, 1956, Institute of Fine Art, Baghdad'My heaviest burden is to decide how to divide my energy between painting and sculpture. I think that someday I must give up one of them because my creative ability is split between the two. I am thinking of giving up painting for good.''- Jewad SelimThe present work is a highly important ceramic composition by Jewad Selim which shows the confluence of various styles and influences on his work in the late 1940's when the artist had completed his artistic education in Europe and was returning to his native Baghdad. While at Slade (1946-49) Jewad witnessed the huge emergence of studio pottery in Britain which left a profound impression on his practices. Studio potters such as Bernard Leach aimed to raise the profile and reputation of pottery to a level where it would be regarded as equal to painting and sculpture.For Jewad there was something singular about the opportunities that working with clay provided for his creative process. Appreciating the plastic and technical possibilities of three-dimensional forms, he approached ceramic production in a more playful and whimsical manner. The work contains deliberate references not only to the playful 20th century pottery compositions of artists like Picasso, but to a Millenia old ceramic tradition in the Middle East where the production of drinking vessels (rhyton) and pottery idols would often incorporate exaggerated phallic and fertility symbols as well as zoomorphic and anthropomorphic elements, highlighting the seamless integration of function and creativity which characterised ancient craft production.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Chinesische Cizhou Meiping Meiping-Vase im nordchinesischen Cizhou-Stil Jin- bis frühe Ming-Dynastie, 1115 bis 15. JahrhundertHöhe 21 cmVon der cremigweißen Glasur hebt sich deutlich der florale Dekor in schwarzbrauner Eisenoxidmalerei ab. Der Boden ist unglasiert und zeigt die Spuren des Abschneidens mittels Schnur von der Töpferscheibe.Der Terminus Cizhou umfasst ein breites Spektrum „volkstümlicher“ (im Gegensatz zu „höfischen“) Keramiken aus Hebei, Henan, Shaanxi, Shangxi und Shandong, die beginnend mit der Liao-Dynastie (907-1125) produziert wurden und im Laufe der Zeit allmählich in die rustikalen nordchinesischen Waren des letzten Jahrhunderts übergegangen sind. Frühe Cizhoustücke wie dieses haben bereits früh das Interesse japanischer Ästheten geweckt, die die kräftigen, einfach und doch gekonnt gemalten Dekore als perfekte Verkörperung des Wabi-Sabi-Ideals des Teeweges erkannt haben. Über diese Tradition, vermittelt durch den Keramiker Bernard Leach, und über archäologische Funde bei den großen Bahnbauvorhaben des früheren 20. Jahrhunderts hat der Stil auch einen starken Einfluss auf die abendländische Keramik ausgeübt.Die Meiping war ursprünglich ein Weinflaschentyp, wird jedoch seit der Mingzeit von Gelehrten und Literaten als Vase, besonders für einzelne Pflaumenzweige, benutzt.
