Art Of Chinese Calligraphy by Jean Long
This book provides practical instruction and historical background on the art of Chinese calligraphy It explains the basic construction of individual characters, the variation in writing styles, and the many ways in which calligraphy is used by Chinese artists. The author begins with an absorbing history of Chinese writing-from its pictographic beginnings, more than 4,000 years ago, down to the Kai, Hsing, and Tsao styles (each over 1,000 years old) that have endured to the present day. Other chapters examine Chinese calligraphy as an art form, Chinese porcelain and ceramics, calligraphic seals, and inscriptions on paintings. The final third of the book presents detailed, stepby-step instructions for using Chinese painting equipment and for learning the techniques needed to create stunning examples of brushwork calligraphy. This book will delight artists and calligraphers as well as all readers interested in Chinese art and culture or in the development of writing.
Unabridged republication of the work first published by Blandford Press, Poole, England, 1987. Numerous black-and-white illustrations. Bibliography. Index.
