Discussion On The Concept Of "Physical Property" Of Modern Ceramic Art In China

Modern pottery art,a new idea of modeling and existing form,has occupied an important position in contemporary art.It is a tributary of contemporary art,a state in pottery art reflected by the concept of modern art and a self-contained artistic expression.Meanwhile,modern pottery art is a revolutionary development of traditional pottery art and a new examination and breakthrough in pottery tradition which had existed for thousands of years.In middle and old age,Heidegger pondered over the relationship of art and“thingness”.He opposed to the traditional dichotomy of material and form.Instead,Heidegger thought that artistic creation means putting thing on an open “earth” and opening up a “world”.He considered that artistic works make “thingness” reveal rather than shadowing it.His artistic “thingness” theory evokes great repercussions in aesthetic and the colony of art theory.The development trend of art in the twentieth century is also closely related to the concept of “thingness”.Under the perspective of the artistic concept of “thingness”,modern pottery art busts out great vitality of pottery and artistic energy.Judging from creation concept,there are four main advantages of modern pottery art.Firstly,modern pottery art banishes traditional factor of “utility” and breaks through the shackles of the “container”-oriental concept,achieving popular transformation of pottery art.Secondly,it breaks the development bottleneck which pursues fidelity and skill,and highlights the expression power of pottery.Thirdly,modern pottery art does not limited to concrete image.Under the impact of modern artistic thought,it develops “abstract” pottery language with Chinese characteristic.Fourthly,modern pottery art gets out of trouble through “technology-deciding” theory,respects contingency and fully reflects natural beauty of pottery.Judging from modern pottery works,there are three merits of modern pottery art.First of all,the concept of “thingness” of pottery works stands out conspicuously.Through restarting the function of hands,the integration of “humanness” and“thingness” is achieved and pottery works obtain the trait of super-functionality.Secondly,the prominent concept of “thingness” of conceptual pottery works,defamiliarized objective images and artistic modeling which is out of life embody the“pureness” of pottery.Thirdly,the “thingness” perception of environmental pottery works can't be ignored.Being the art of soil and fire,pottery returns to nature.It is more easily for pottery to make intimate interaction with human and display its strong integration to others.Modern pottery art is the extension and breakthrough of Chinese traditional pottery,displaying enormous artistic tension.The intervention of western modern art thought is not opposite to the inheritance of Chinese traditional artistic concept.A discussion on the concept of “thingness” of modern pottery art will be beneficial to clarifying theoretical thought and avoiding blindly imitating,so as to find a development path with Chinese characteristic for Chinese modern pottery art in the eclectic environment.
