Chinese Brushwork in Calligraphy and Painting
- Calligraphy and Painting History, Aesthetics, and
Techniques Book by Kwo Da-Wei.
Discover Art in the Oriental Brush - Mr Kwo's
book was my introduction into the use of the
oriental brush and water based black ink. His book,
read over time, brought me into my great
appreciation for the skill of the brush. In this
work the author describes the use of the brush from
a historic point of view. He also shows how brush
technique and written language developed and
explains to his western readers how to "see with
oriental style", with the use of the brush and ink
as a tool, the oriental concept of space and lines.
Though an artist using a simple brush and
water-based ink creates a far different scene than
considered typical by western standards, the
oriental use of empty space, reserved for the
viewers imagination to complete the scene, is very
refreshing. It sparked my interest into this subject
and from there I went to Japanese sumi-e. Thank you
for your excellent book Mr. Kwo!
