Re: Beautiful Contemporary jade carvings |
Posted By: S. Bernstein Posted Date: Apr 28, 2009 (12:46 AM) |
Message Thank-you for your request to publish digital images of four contemporary jades from my firm's website for educational purposes. You do so, with the attribution, 'Image copyright S. Bernstein & Co., 2009, Used by permission'. As a student of Ancient Philosophy in college, I have always enjoyed mythological subjects. The conjunction of bronze sculpture and jade in a classical depiction of Sisyphus by my good friend Don Wobber is seductive and irresistable! I am amazed by the jade art of Shen Quan. The black ox was possible due to the artists acquisition of a particularly fine grained black Khotan jade boulder. The artist announced his retirement, although he is a young 68 years of age. When I saw him last, he was dissatisfied with retirement and completed the black ox over a year long period. It is signed, as are his other works and to my feeling, represents Shen Quan's work at its best. Thank-you, S. Bernstein Post a Response |
