Tu Long (active second half of 16th century)
Tu Long, Poems in Cursive Script
Tu Long's "Poems in Cursive Script" exemplifies the virtuosity of late Ming calligraphy through its fluid, expressive brushwork rendered in the cursive script style. The work demonstrates the artist's mastery of spontaneous yet controlled gesture, where individual characters flow into one another with dynamic energy across the paper surface. As a handscroll format, the piece invites intimate viewing and reveals the progression of Tu Long's hand as it moves through successive compositions of poetry and calligraphy.
