Rosemary Scott, Senior Academic Consultant to
the Asian Art departments
at Christie’s, will introduce our series on collecting and
connoisseurship with
a discussion of the decorative techniques used in Chinese art. The
motifs
used on the Chinese decorative arts are not only beautiful but also
contain
a wealth of meaning that is not always immediately apparent to the
casual
viewer. This lecture will discuss some of the symbols, rebuses and
stories
that are used to decorate Chinese ceramics and lacquer wares.
This occasional series is aimed at anyone with an interest in the
rich
and varied art of Asia who may own a few pieces or is considering
starting
a collection. Over coming months we will be looking at various art
forms
including jewellery, textiles, and Indian miniatures.
