Calligraphy
One of the fine arts of Chinese since the fourth century A.D. In China, the brush is used both for writing and for painting and the written word is a visual ideogram and not the equivalent of a sound that is produced by the phonetic symbols, as in the West. Even though each brushstroke must be spontaneous and lively, the implementation and the evaluation are governed by strict rules. Each character, that must divide the volume of ink and the lines in its rectangular field, is an abstract composition and also a flow of the proposal. The aesthetic and fixed concentration of interest in brushstrokes has been recently adopted as a painting style by Western artists like John Klein, Misho and Tompei.
