Chinese penmanship is an art form of writing Chinese characters with unique tools -- the brush, inkstick, inkslab and paper. The origins of Chinese characters can be traced back about 3,000 years, and they are still in wide use today. Besides its practicality, Chinese calligraphy constitutes a unique school in the world of art, apart from any other artistic tradition. Included in this book are 137 pieces of work by 126 calligraphers with different styles. From them we can not only keep abreast of current trends in calligraphic creation, but also find out impacts of Western modern art on Chinese calligraphers.
