Chinese brush painting on porcelain - Artist? |
Posted By: rat Posted Date: Jul 01, 2014 (10:31 AM) |
Message there's no identifying information about the artist in the inscription or seal. the first four characters are a title, "Massed Snow in X Mountains", the missing character for me being the first in the inscription. the remainder is "winter, wuwu year" However, in this case wuwu year cannot be 1918 and most likely is not 1978 either. Wuwu is instead most likely an apocryphal date created by the artist, because the painting on which your plaque is based, a landscape in the Tianjin Municipal Art Museum attributed to Song painter Fan Kuan (see: http://arts.cultural-china.com/en/77Arts6620.html) was not published until the painting was donated to the museum in 1981. (http://www.wantinews.com/news-6056943-Wintry-snow-alongside-the:-Continental-Fan-Kuan-only-extant-works.html) The impurities on the surface and the lack of slip also suggest that this is a recent work meant to appeal to the current market for Republic-era painted plaques.
