「小聽颿樓」藏畫 拍品編號9001-9052

Lu Runxiang, Calligraphy Couplet in Running Script

This calligraphy couplet by Lu Runxiang exemplifies the dynamic fluidity characteristic of running script, a semi-cursive style that balances legibility with expressive brushwork. The artist's ink work on patterned paper creates visual richness through the interplay between the calligraphic marks and the prepared surface, while the framing mount indicates its presentation as a finished artwork for display. The piece represents a significant tradition of Chinese literati culture where calligraphy serves as both linguistic communication and aesthetic expression.
