There's plenty of ink play for the eye to dance over: fluid, angular,
stiff, or scratchy. The accompanying texts--two introductory essays on
calligraphic history and theory and eight specialized ones, with various
levels of detail--allow readers to choose their own depth. But the visual
"text" alone is illuminating and provides pleasure.

Whether
you are a beginner or a seasoned painter, you can never have
enough good books, especially on painting. I
literally have shelves of books on Sumi-e, Chinese Brush Painting,
Calligraphy, Water Color, Oil painting, Graphic Art and Illustration,
not to mention my newest acquisiton of Computer Graphic Books,
yet I still can't leave a bookstore without checking out the
selection of Art Books. I think a good book by a Master Painter
can be your best teacher and a close friend that you consult
with, for inspiration and instruction on approaching a new subject
or learning a new or different technique.
