Zhang Daqian (Chang Dai-chien, 1899-1983), Prose in Xingshu
This work by the renowned twentieth-century Chinese master Zhang Daqian demonstrates his accomplished command of xingshu, or semi-cursive script, a calligraphic style that balances legibility with expressive brushwork. Executed in ink on cardboard and subsequently framed, the piece exemplifies the artist's characteristic fluid line quality and dynamic composition. Zhang Daqian was celebrated for his versatility across painting and calligraphy, and this work represents an important dimension of his artistic practice during a period when he was widely regarded as one of China's finest living artists.
