About this book

Chinese Painting and Calligraphy: A Pictoral Survey by Weng, Wan-Go H.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780486237077.

Brush and ink — the required path to the "three perfections" of Chinese art — painting, calligraphy, poetry. The complex path to Chinese art, through painting and calligraphy(and ultimately poetry), is revealed through a lucidly described tour of the John M. Crawford, Jr. collection of Chinese visual art, conducted by the scholar, collector and calligrapher Wan-go Weng. In 109 photographs of 69 works of art, Chinese Painting and Calligraphy surveys the living world of Chinese art and artists from the Northern Sung dynasty (960-1127) to the early Ching (1644-1911).
