Hello All,
[
b]CIPMA [/b] is a Landmark book and an essential reference for Modern School inside-painted bottles
It was published by Wang Xisan in 1995
It contains 2 pages on nearly all the top Modern School artists from the Ji School ( Hengshui, Shijiazhuang) , plus a handful of artists from the Jing School in BJ and the Lu School in Shandong.
The first page is an introduction to the artist in English and Chinese ( NOTE: sometimes the details are slightly different in the two language versions). The second page shows 4 x typical / signature works of each artist
I attach a low- res copy of a typical artist 2- page entry
However, every artist had to pay a fee to be published in CIPMA, so some younger but fast-upcoming artists were not included ( and also some older artists who could afford to rest on their laurels !)
It's
very hard to buy a copy of CIPMA these days. It seems the source of the original book is strictly limited arists-only and their close friends
However, I do have a copy and I have made a hi- res scan which I can send to anyone free of charge on request if they send me a memory stick ( If you have already asked for my data base I automatically include the CIPMA scan, which is in any case integrated into my DB).
Also Wang Xisan has given Bill Patrick permission to publish CIPMA on his website
www.snuffbottlecollector.comIt's useful to use CIPMA as a reference eg in the attached pic "Fu Guoshun - CIPMA pp 122/123"
Please may I also propose a standard abbreviation for this Forum : " CC" = Compressed CopyBecause the Forum only accepts pics up to 400 kB I have to make compressed copies of my file pics in order to post them So I rename them starting " CC" eg the attached pic is " CC Fu Guoshun @ CIPMA"
If anyone wants a hi-res copy of any pic I post they are free to ask via private email
