Reader Reviews:
I never knew Chinese calligraphy could be so fascinating. (1/1 people found this helpful)
This is a fabulous book that makes a difficult and exotic subject perfectly understandable. Mi Fu is one of the greatest artists in the world, but who in the West knows about an 11th century Chinese calligrapher? Sturman's sensitive and learned discussion brings it all alive. I loved this book!!!
