Chinese school, modelled on WU GUANZHONG; 20th century."Village View".Ink and graphite on paper.There are tears on the outer perimeter without affecting the drawing.Apocryphal signature and inscription.Measurements: 31 x 41.8 cm.In the oriental culture, painting has a great link with calligraphy, materials such as brush and ink are fused in both disciplines. The material thus becomes a highly appreciated artistic motif, both for its form and for the content it is capable of conveying.Aesthetically, the work is close to the precepts of the multidisciplinary artist Wu Guanzhong, who worked in painting, ink and watercolour drawing, engraving, calotype and even made some enamelled porcelain pieces. Possibly the most renowned contemporary Chinese artist, Wu focused his work on the Chinese landscape, both natural and urban, depicting its architecture, plants and animals, characters and natural landscapes, in a style inspired by Post-Impressionism and drawing on traditional Chinese ink painting. He was also a prominent writer and critic of contemporary Chinese art. Born in Yixing (Jiangsu), he studied engineering at the Zhejiang Industrial School, and in 1936 moved to the Hangzhou National Academy of Arts in the same city to study both Chinese and Western painting under masters Pan Tianshou and Lin Fengmian. He graduated in 1942, and five years later he moved to Paris thanks to a scholarship from the Chinese government, which enabled him to study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in the city. On his return to China he took up a teaching post at the Central Academy of Art in Beijing, and later at Tsinghua University and the Normal School of Fine Arts in the same city, where he taught Western art. His exhibitions at the British Museum in London, the Metropolitan in New York and the Hong Kong Museum of Art are particularly noteworthy. Wu Guanzhong is currently mainly represented at the Singapore Art Museum, to which the artist himself made a major donation of work, although he is also present in other leading museums around the world.

An early 19th century English gilt bronze mounted crackle glazed Chinese porcelain vasethe mounts in the manner of Benjamin Vulliamy (1747-1811) and Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy (1780-1853)the grey crackle glazed baluster body with a relief moulded biscuit undulating key border and scalloped girdle, the foot with a similar narrow band, the whole with applied stylised lion drop ring handles, the rim with applied flared fluted and lobed rim mounts, the foot rim mount with trellis cast border, the vase raised on an a shallow square porphyry plinth base, the vase 36.6cm high, 39cm high overall including the plinth (2)Footnotes:Benjamin Vulliamy and his son Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy (1780-1854) who traded in London as Vulliamy & Son, belonged to a family of Swiss extraction whose original business of making clocks and watches expanded rapidly during the last quarter of the 18th century due much to the entrepreneurial spirit of the senior member of the family, Benjamin. Trading from 74 Pall Mall, their surviving Ornament and Clock Books contain extensive details regarding their business practices which clearly indicate that their craftsmen were not necessarily employees of the firm, but were 'individuals or firms largely resident in London who were working independently for their own account,' (See: Furniture History, 1967, Geoffrey de Bellaigue, 'The Vulliamys and France,' pp. 45-53). Besides mechanical movements for their watches and clocks, they also designed and had made elaborate cases which incorporated porcelain figures which were supplied by William Duesbury of Derby. In addition they supplied ornamental metalwork in many guises and, as de Bellaigue remarks, 'they were prepared to supply their customers with anything from a chimney-piece to a door handle, from a piano to a button.' The Vulliamys were fully aware of current taste on the Continent and France, not only utilizing published French designs, but also copying actual French objects or their components. They are also recorded as actually purchasing works of art in Paris, either on commission or for resale, and also utilized the workshops of the Delafontaines, 'who were among the most eminent bronze manufacturers active in Paris in the beginning of the nineteenth century,' (Bellaigue, op. cit.). The Delafontaines are shown in Vulliamys' books 'as suppliers of bronze mounts, chased but not gilt, which were incorporated into candelabras, inkstands, clocks and mounted porcelain jars,' as seen on the present vases. The Vulliamys had an illustrious list of clients, including many members of the aristocracy and eminent personages, together with the patronage of the Royal Family including the Prince Regent to whom they supplied elaborate mounts, all with comparable square bases, for several Chinese porcelain vases which in the Royal Collection. These included three Chinese famille rose jardinières (RCINs 48 and 101659.1-2) and a set of four jardinières with bowls of dark blue Spode ware in imitation of Chinese porcelain (RCINs 700.1–4).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
