中国书法

This is a classic introduction to Chinese calligraphy. In eleven richly illustrated chapters, Chiang Yee explores the aesthetics and the technique of this art in which rhythm, line and structure are perfectly embodied. He measures the slow change from pictograph to stroke to the style and shape of written characters by the great calligraphers. It is a superb appreciation of beauty in the movement of strokes and in the patterns of structure—and an inspiration to amateurs as well as professionals interested in the decorative arts.
