Japanese Painting: Calligraphy and Image
January 24th 2008 03:00
This exhibition organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art features stunning Japanese calligraphy and imagery from the three main groups of Japanese artists for whom calligraphy became a central means of expression: Zen and other Buddhist monks, literati, who modeled themselves after the educated Chinese elite, and aristocrats of the imperial line, who bore the responsibility for maintaining authentic Japanese artistic principles.
Calligraphy is one of the highest forms of artistry according to Chinese and Japanese aesthetics and can reveal the character of the writer.
