Appreciation of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy

Friday, 27 April 2012

Chinese painting and calligraphy has a long history. Until the invention of paper in Han dynasty, artists began to paint using a writing brush, or art brush, and gradually Chinese painting and calligraphy evolved.

CFA China is delighted that WuChangShuo Memorial (吴昌硕纪念馆) is offering us an opportunity to appreciate the works of Mr. Wu Yue who is the great-grandson of Wu ChangShuo. He will teach us the art of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy.

 All the participants registering through CFA China will receive a FREE Wu Yue’s Painting Album.

Wú Chāngshuò (吴昌硕) Wu Changshuo (September 12, 1844 - November 29, 1927) is the name for which Wu Junqing is best known. He was born in to a scholarly family and toward the end of the Qing he served as an official in . He settled in in his twenties.

Initially, he devoted himself to poetry and calligraphy with a strong interest in early scripts. He also led a society of -carvers. Only later did he consider himself a painter and became associated with a school of artistic expression. As a painter, he was noted for helping rejuvenate the art of painting flowers and birds, and he considered seal-carving and doing paintings to be integrated with each other. His works have garnered him with fame and he is highly regarded in Japan.
