B2845. Fu Shan's World
Fu Shan's World: The Transformation of Chinese Calligraphy in the Seventeenth Century: The Transformation of Chinese Calligraphy in the Seventeenth Century.
By Qianshen Bai. 368pp. 144 photos, 58 drawings. Hardcover $60.00 SALE.
For 1,300 years, Chinese calligraphy was based on the elegant art of Wang Xizhi (A.D. 303-361). But the seventeenth-century emergence of a style modeled on the rough, broken epigraphs of ancient bronzes and stone artifacts brought a revolution in calligraphic taste. By the eighteenth century, this led to the formation of the stele school of calligraphy, which continues to shape Chinese calligraphy today.
A dominant force in this school was the eminent calligrapher and art theorist Fu Shan (1607-1685). Because his work spans the late Ming-early Qing divide, it is an ideal prism through which to view the transformation in calligraphy.
Quantity limited. No backorders at the sale price.
