by Frederick Wong
In Frederick Wong's special and unique view of the calligrapher's art, calligraphy is not merely the writing of beautiful letters. Rather, it is a rich and complex discipline that combines lettering with design to produce a complete composition. By forging letters, words, lines, decoration and illustration into a cohesive whole, the calligrapher creates an enduring work of art. He instructs on both a technical and an aesthetic level, for the amateur and the professional. Covering a broad range of topics, this book offers expert advice on setting up and equipping the studio; analyzes a wide variety of traditional lettering styles; demonstrates every step in the process of composing the finished product and introduces the reader to production methods, including the preparation of the finished work for commercial printing. An excellent work of instruction by a noted expert, The Complete Calligrapher is an invaluable resource for any calligraphy student or graphic artist.
