It would therefore, have been extremely auspicious for a scholar to have his brushpot decorated with this figure, to inspire him in his writing and achieve examination success.The Chinese character Kui (魁) is composed of the ideograph for 'demon' (鬼) and the ideograph for 'ladle' (斗). The ladle or 'dipper' (as Kui Xing is also associated with the North Star) is depicted on the present lot in the form of a square vessel. Kui Xing is often portrayed with a demonic appearance, a hideous face, a horn-like protuberance on his head, and a sinewy body. According to legend, he was once a mortal scholar with outstanding literary skills but was repeatedly failed in the civil service examinations due to his repulsive appearance. Out of frustration and humiliation, Kui Xing threw himself into a river, where he was saved by a mythical monster called an ao. He then ascended to the Big Dipper and became the stellar patron of the literati and the God of Literature.Dreaming of Kui Xing the night before the exams was considered an auspicious sign and the candidate who obtained the highest results, known as the First Scholar (zhangyuan), would walk first on a staircase decorated with the ao mythical beast. Representations of Kui Xing and Ao are thus a symbol of literary success and highest achievement at the Imperial examinations.A blue and white and copper-red brushpot with related design of Kui Xing, Kangxi, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (acc.no.C.976-1910). See also a doucai brushpot with Kui Xing and prunus, Kangxi, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Small Refined Articles of the Study, Shenzhen, 2009, p.95, no.65.Compare with a smaller but related underglaze blue and white-decorated celadon-ground brushpot, Kangxi, which was sold at Christie's New York, 21 March 2014, lot 2141.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A BLUE AND WHITE 'ODE TO RED CLIFFS' BRUSHPOT, BITONGKangxiThe tall cylindrical vessel finely potted with slightly curved sides, painted around the exterior in vibrant tones of cobalt-blue with two large stylised Shou characters each containing two large cartouches containing calligraphic inscriptions of Su Dongpo's poem 'Ode to Red Cliffs', with seals, one reading 'Dragon West', and signed Yun Wan ('Cloud Play'). 14cm (5 1/2in) high.Footnotes:清康熙 青花赤壁賦筆筒Provenance: John R.

Berwald Oriental Ceramics & Works Art，1995年4月18日展覽及錄著：S.Marsh, 《Brushpots: A Collector's View》，香港，2020，頁146-147When the Song dynasty litterateur Su Dongpo (1037-1101) was first sent to Huangzhou in exile for opposing reformist policies at court, he passed by the supposed site of the naval battle of the Red Cliffs (AD208). Su wrote the two poems on the Red Cliffs commemorating the valour and bravery of the historical heroes that fought in the battle long past, while also voicing his own sense of nostalgia, loss and receding into the pages of history. His poems have since entered into the Chinese literary canon and are a continuously popular motif for artists and poets. See R.Egan, Word, Image, and Deed in the Life of Su Shi, Cambridge MA, 1994, pp.221-228. The present lot has extracts from Su's poems. The inscription reads:五百年前續此遊，水光依舊接天浮，徘徊今夜東山月，恍惚當年王戌秋。雲玩Which may be translated as:'Continuing the journey from five hundred years ago, the scenery of old with water stretching to the horizon, tonight the moon lingers by the Eastern Mountain, as if it were the same autumn moon that shone on the battle.Yun Wan.'The second reads:有客得魚臨赤壁，無人載酒出黃州，吟成一浦千山寂，孤鶴橫江涼小舟。Which may be translated as: 'A visitor arrives at the Red Cliff with freshly caught fish, yet no one brought wine from Huangzhou, our poetry contrasts the silence that fills the riverbank and the thousand mountains a lonely crane crosses the river and passes over our boat.'This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
John SIMMONS (1871-1943) Three oils on canvas View From a Riverside, Farmstead and Rural VillageEach approximatley 46 x 61cm(3)John Simmons spent the first half of his working career within his family theatrical costumier firm ‘A. J. Simmons & Sons’, alongside his father who was a tailor by trade. It was not until the business was sold in 1912 that Simmons was able to dedicate more time to his artistic talent. Although there is no record formally, it is believed that Simmons spent time at the Slade School of Fine Art and trained under the notable painter and printmaker Walter Sickert. This time gave Simmons chance to travel as well as paint, and the two soon came to support each other with Simmons making many friends amongst his contemporary artists. Within his time in London, he became an acquaintance of Augustus John, who also trained at the Slade. Whilst holidaying in Lamorna, Cornwall he often visited Samuel John Lamorna Birch who was drawn to the area by the celebrated Newlyn School. He met many other artists working in England in the early twentieth century, as well as making many friends during his long painting expeditions through continental Europe during the interwar years. John Simmons exhibited at several galleries between 1925 and 1940: the Royal Academy, the Walker Art Gallery, the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters to name a few. In contrast to the notoriety of these galleries, Simmons remained a quiet artist, a slow worker whose output was rather small, but at the same time he was a painter whose artistic merit remained a constant. All of Simmons’ paintings are of the same style; sensitive in colour and accurate in form.

He showed continuously with one-man shows at Galerie Colette Allendy Paris (1959) Molton Gallery (Annely Juda) (1962) one-man exhibitions at the Taranman Gallery (1977-83) including the London Group (1955-1996); and his work is represented in both government and private collections.After retirement in 1989, he made several series: drawings and oils of the bridges of London, oils of women’s heads, acrylic and conté works on paper and finally pen and wash drawings of two women, one of whom is being dressed.John's work has recently been exhibited with The Belgrave Gallery, St Ives 2017-2022.
