Description:
Two famille-rose painted ceramic plaques, Signed Taomi Daoren Wang Qi, dated gengwu year (1930), 19.8 cm x 12 cm each (2). Provenance: Private collection, Singapore. Private collection, Perth. Wang Qi (1884-1937) was one of the founding members of the 'Eight Friends of Zhushan', who were instrumental in revitalising the porcelain industry after the fall of the Qing dynasty, when Imperial orders for porcelain at Jingdezhen had ceased. Wang's works were influenced by the paintings he studied in Shanghai around 1916, which incorporated cursive calligraphy and looser brushwork. Later in Wang's career, he began to extensively explore mythical subjects from folklore and religion, such as the present lot.
