SUMMARY:Between Sea and Sky: Blue and White Ceramics from Persia and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Between Sea and Sky: Blue and White Ceramics from Persia and Beyond. \nDu 21 Novembre 2020 au 31 Mai 2021\nMuseum of Fine Arts\, Houston. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, tells the story of the en- during\, worldwide appeal of blue and white ceramics through the exhibition Between Sea and Sky: Blue and White Ceramics from Persia and Beyond. This exhibition brings together 74 works\, including selections from the ex- ceptional Hossein Afshar Collection of Persian art on long- term loan to the MFAH\, offering a new understanding of Persian blue and white’s monumental contribution to the world history of ceramics. Between Sea and Sky is on view through Monday\, May 31\, 2021. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDish\, Persian\, Timurid or early Safavid\, second half of 15th century\, stonepaste; painted in blue on white slip under transparent glaze\, the Hossein Af- shar Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Hous- ton \n\n\n\n\n“We have an extraordinary opportunity to examine the on- going allure of blue and white ceramics through one of the most significant collections of Persian art\,” said Gary Tin- terow\, director\, the Margaret Alkek Williams Chair\, the Mu- seum of Fine Arts\, Houston. “Following our 2017 debut of Hossein Afshar’s collection in the exhibition Bestowing Beauty: Masterpieces from Persian Lands\, we are delighted to share important\, never-before-seen examples from the spectacular collection with our visitors.” \n“It is our hope that these extraordinary Persian ceramics will shed light on a new and more nuanced under- standing of the many complex layers of technical and artistic exchange between Persia and China and the significant contribution of Persian blue and white ceramics to the world history of ceramics\,” said Aimée Froom\, curator\, Islamic art. “To be able to display these ceramics alongside the Museum’s global collections of blue and white ceramics for the first time is an added feast for the eyes.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n2.

Eagle Collection\, museum purchase funded by the Caroline Wiess Law Accessions Endowment Fund. © Estate of Ralph Bacerra. \n\n\n\n\n\nBetween Sea and Sky opens with the early trade history of ceramics\, when cobalt blue from the Persian Gulf meets ceramic shapes and techniques from China. The story continues with the introduction of stonepaste\, which revolutionized Persian ceramics and spawned an unprecedented flourishing of shapes\, techniques\, and colored glazes in the 11th to the 14th century—an area in which the Hossein Afshar Collection is partic- ularly rich. Rare Persian blues also played a significant role\, ranging from the luxurious and rare lapis lazuli (lajvardina) and turquoise (firouzeh) to brilliant cobalt\, which adorn Persian ceramics\, architectural tiles\, glass\, jewelry\, and manuscripts. Locally mined and traded across Islamic lands and the world\, rare Persian blues were as precious as gold. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChinese blue and white porcelain was highly prized and col- lected by the Islamic courts in Iran\, Turkey\, and India. The exhi- bition features three outstanding examples on loan from the San Antonio Museum of Art\, including an extraordinary dish in- scribed with the name of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (reigned 1528–58). A section titled “Inspired by China” high- lights the creative synthesis seen in 15th– to 17th–century Per- sian ceramics\, which combine Chinese dragons and other motifs with Persian blues\, shapes\, and decorative motifs. Chinese blue and white porcelain was also coveted and collected across Asia and Europe to the shores of England\, inspiring local production along the way. \nJoining the exquisite works from the Hossein Afshar Collection\nare iconic blue and white objects from the MFAH collections\, on\nview together for the first time. Demonstrating the many different cultural resonances of this wide-ranging tradition are selections of blue and white English porcelain and delftware from the Rienzi and Bayou Bend collections; notable Japanese Arita ware from the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation; and important exam- ples of global contemporary blue and white ceramics. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n4.
