Calligraphy is Painting? ------- 董陽孜書法作品

                                    【無所不能有所不為】

                                                       【洗心】

                                                           【了了不了之】

                                                                  【他山之石可以攻玉】

 

Yes, it could be if you have sawn 董陽孜’s work.  She pays more

attention on the arrangement of empty spaces to deal with every single

character and whole scroll.  As such, we can always see superb

deployment which forms the integral aesthetic feel.  Moreover,

董陽孜brings the methods of inkwash painting into the calligraphy,

sometimes, her works with ink is either thick and dense or pale and

light, smetimes, her brushtip is either parched or splaying. 

Consequently, 董陽孜’s work is a kind of synthesis of painting and

calligraphy.
