Contest:
For centuries, the pleasure of tea has
been captured through paintings, illustrations, ceramics,
photography, and many other mediums. The
Artful Teapot Exhibit is a good example of the use of different
artwork mediums dating hundreds of years back to the present. Many
painters, some of which are, Tingqua, Chinnery, Cassat, Hassam, all
contributed to the history of tea through their artwork. The
Chinese were responsible for developing the art form of porcelain,
which they first traded with the British. Later, the British
potters went on to develop their own form of china, most notably,
Wedgewood china. And there are hundreds of photographs today that
capture the tranquility of tea.
