Features: This book primarily introduces the works of the China National Art Museum's Ceramic Art Invitational Exhibition. To present a comprehensive view of the contemporary style of ceramic art that carries forward tradition while embracing innovation, we have included nearly 260 exquisite works from three sections: traditional ceramic art, modern ceramic art creation, and modern ceramic design. This exhibition showcases representative works from national-level master artisans of important ceramic-producing regions in China, works from renowned contemporary ceramic artists active both domestically and internationally, as well as outstanding modern ceramic designs. The former highlights the regional and classical brilliance of traditional ceramic art, while the modern creation section demonstrates the diverse expressions of ceramic art as an integral part of contemporary cultural and artistic life. Modern ceramic design is closely related to the aesthetics of daily life, reflecting the positive demands of modern development on ceramic art. Such an exhibition structure can be regarded as a rare comprehensive overview of contemporary ceramic art. Gathering so many fine ceramic art pieces into one volume is not only a commemorative summary of this exhibition but also an effort to preserve academic materials for future research on ceramic art. This marks a new starting point for our museum's research on ceramic art.
