Calligraphy 書藝 Qing Dynasty 清 5255 Teapot 茶壺 , 16.5cm x 12cm x H21.5cm

5255

Designed by Freeman Lau, this teapot is a companion to the designer’s range of tea caddies. It features Chinese characters selected from the museum’s collection of priceless calligraphy works. Calligraphy occupies a special place in Chinese culture. Like painting and sculpture, it is a form of self-expression and cultivation. The calligrapher’s style of writing is as important as the subject matter. Calligraphy masterpieces are highly treasured in the National Palace Museum. Inherited from ancient palace collections, they consist of works from hands of major calligraphers and scholars.

劉小康設計的茶壺，為其設計的系列茶葉罐 錦上添花。茶壺上的文字書體，選自價值連 城的博物院書法珍藏。

書法是中華文化的重要一環。就如繪畫和雕塑 一樣，書法是個人修養和自我表達的形式。書 法作品中的字體與主題，同樣重要。

國立故宮博物院非常珍視書法傑作。這些歷 代宮廷珍藏的傳世之作皆源出於出不同年代 的書法名家和文人雅士。
