Small cup of monochrome porcelain from China, early 7th century, Xing kiln

Ceramics, 7,5 × 8,5 cm.
Materials: Porcelain stoneware

Collection: Musée national des arts asiatiques – Musée Guimet, Paris (Inv. no. MA 2140).

In the Musée Guimet, in Paris, Verheyen and Dani

Franque particularly admire the traditional Chinese

monochrome ceramics and paintings. Verheyen

explains: ‘My orientation towards the inner and to

Chinese art comes from ceramics and porcelain, of

which the monochromes are the high point. Both in

my ceramics and in my paintings I tried to achieve

a kind of essence that is beyond the formal.’
