Ceramics --- is one of the earliest art forms in the history of human civilization, which is the simplest and most concise of all art categories, and her mystery and abstraction are incomparable! From the aesthetic needs of ceramic art, we can understand the cultural connotation of an era and the national spirit of a country!
In the post-industrial world, transition, transience, and chance seem to be a brand of modernism. Because time never stands at a certain moment, "modernism" represents a "form of civilization" that characterizes our historical era, just as feudalism is characteristic of the Middle Ages.
However, just as feudalism did not appear throughout the world from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries, modernism is not found anywhere in the world in contemporary times. Like feudalism, modernism differed according to regional circumstances, the history of a particular culture, and the period in which it was introduced.
Even with these constraints, there is a comprehensive character that can be easily identified on the surface or form of the entire country or in the organization of a certain layer. This comprehensive feature indicates modernism, that is, a mental phenomenon or a state of mind. And it manifests itself in the attitudes, values and ways of behavior of modern people.
China's modern ceramics should be subordinate to a branch of modern ceramic art civilization, but it is more in the development and depiction of the spiritual field. Classicism eventually dissolved due to the lack of internal subjectivity, and at the moment when the Great Industrial Revolution was raging, the advent of the post-industrial era provided the necessary soil for the return of symbolism and romanticism, existentialism and futurism were sublimated and solidified here, and the rise and development of modern ceramics testified to the above changes, and all these are important parts of modernism. Modern ceramics is a ceramic art that integrates contemporary individual aesthetic and humanistic concepts with the help of modern technology, and it is more about the development and depiction of the spiritual field, which makes it full of symbolic and romantic characteristics. The innate classical temperament and unique fate of ceramics have created its true history of more than 10,000 years. She embodies the depth of earth, the aura of water, the ethereal of qi, and most spectacularly, the passion of fire.
From the birth of modern ceramics, it has been separated from classical ceramic art, but she has inherited the unique temperament and charm of classical ceramic art, such as condensing the depth of earth, the aura of water, the ethereal of qi, of course, the most spectacular is the fusion of fire passion and baptism, casting eternity or death in this baptism of raging fire. Modern ceramics finally got rid of the aesthetic shackles brought about by the ideas of classicism. The numbness brought about by the aesthetic rigidity of classicism and various industrialization and mechanization, using many modernist concepts and aesthetic needs to reflect and reconstruct the light of human nature. Thus playing an aesthetically oriented role!
Modern ceramics advocates:
First, the continuous renewal and development of concepts, thereby upgrading and transforming people's thinking, thereby promoting the development of society, which is also the premise of all new art and new styles. But this is not intrinsically contradictory to inheriting national blood;
The second is the art form that integrates many disciplines, science has skills, skills have technology, science and technology need art, art needs science and technology, science and technology open up unlimited prospects and possibilities for the development of modern ceramics! In the creation of modern ceramics, the appropriate use of scientific and technological achievements is desirable, and all reliance and abuse of scientific and technological achievements is a major tragedy of modern ceramics.
