Wang Duo, Calligraphy after Mi Fu
This handscroll by Wang Duo, a master calligrapher of the late Ming dynasty, demonstrates his emulation of the Song literati artist Mi Fu through bold, expressive brushwork rendered in ink on silk. Wang Duo's style is characterized by dramatic scale and dynamic movement, with characters executed in a vigorous cursive script that showcases his technical virtuosity and personal interpretation of the classical model. The work exemplifies the literati tradition of studying and building upon the achievements of earlier masters while establishing one's own artistic identity.
