About this title

From Library Journal:

Represented in this exhibition catalog are 21 leading contemporary Chinese calligraphers and their works. The exhibition, organized by the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University, where author Zhang is a curator, sampled various modern styles ranging from oracle bone, seal, bamboo, clerical, standard, and cursive scripts to noncharacter calligraphy. Each calligrapher's work is commented upon, and convincing illustrations are provided. The book opens with information on major exhibitions, competitions, newspapers and magazines, organizations, education, and auction houses and ends with an interview with Brice Marden, a contemporary American painter whose art is influenced by Chinese calligraphy. Recommended for both large public and academic libraries as one of the best on this subject.ALucia S. Chen, NYPL
