SynopsisChinese calligraphy has been an independent visual art form for thousands of years. Its wonderful aesthetics has inspired the art of Chinese painting since the second century B.C. Before pen and pencil were introduced to China, millions practiced the art of writing in ink. In the twentieth century, the art of calligraphy has not only fascinated modern Chinese who are part of this continuous tradition, but has also captured the interest and imagination of the world. This is the first proper history of Chinese calligraphy in English.
This book covers the major calligraphy styles, their history, and some of the best calligraphers. The text is clear and if you are interested in the topic the book is well worth the read. The pictures and photos are clear and demonstrate the ideas clearly.
