【1多點常玉腕錶】瓶梅 / Plum in Vase

“This is expected be a watch without a logo.”We see the prunus branches stretch upward resiliently in this composition of black and white, creating a quiet and mysterious vibe balanced by the bright red table. Ebony, renowned for its extremely hard and dense texture, with a deep mysterious black color that only reveals its gorgeous grains under the light, was chosen to tone with the black background of this painting. The overall design is minimal and more of a masculine style.The watch strap is vegetable-tanned leather that shines better if you wear it more.For each watch in this collaboration, idodan has experienced unlimited discussion and adjustments because we resist settling and compromise in terms of design. We convey idodan’s spirit and value by removing our logo from this watch to complete and fulfill this special collection as a way sending our honor to Sanyu, the great artist whose works will never fade over time.

典藏資料:

國立歷史博物館藏《瓶梅》（館藏編號26890）為常玉（1901-1966）作品之一；白色的梅花與梅枝插在同是白色的花瓶中，在視覺上顯得有些單調，為了緩和畫面單調的感覺，作者巧妙地運用黑白兩種對比色來區隔背景與繪畫主體，同時在底部加上紅色的桌面，使得畫面產生平衡的感覺。

常玉出生於中國四川順慶(1935年改名南充)，自幼在故鄉隨父親習畫，之後向書法家趙熙(1867-1948)習字，1921年因「勤工儉學」計畫前往巴黎，是早期留法學習藝術創作的中國畫家之一。他的作品融合了中國與西方藝術特色，經常利用簡潔有力的線條、造形與輪廓呈現獨特的個人風格，繪畫造形簡練、色彩單純，裸女、植物花卉、有動物的風景為其三大創作主題。

SANYU was one of the earliest Chinese artists to study in Paris. His works combine Chinese and Western art features, often using simple and powerful lines, shapes and contours to present a unique personal style. The paintings are simple and simple in color, and the nude girls, plants and flowers, and animal scenery are the three major themes.
