Chinese calligraphy has been an independent visual art form for thousands of years. Its wonderful aesthetics has inspired the art of Chinese painting since the second century B.C. Before pen and pencil were introduced to China, millions practiced the art of writing in ink. In the twentieth century, the art of calligraphy has not only fascinated modern Chinese who are part of this continuous tradition, but has also captured the interest and imagination of the world. This is the first proper history of Chinese calligraphy in English.

China's entry into the modern era was shaped by unprecedented internal turmoil and external pressures, which brought a forceful end to two millennia of imperial rule and cultural insularity. The essays in this volume offer a variety of perspectives on the impact of the West on indigenous literature, architecture, painting, and calligraphy during this period (ca. 1860-1980). This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition "Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Chinese Paintings from the Robert H. Ellsworth Collection in The Metropolitan Museum of Art", held at the museum from 30th January-19th August 2001.

Secret Signs, an extensive group exhibition catalog, looks at the role of Chinese calligraphy in relation to contemporary Chinese art over the past three decades as a way of asking fundamental questions of art and art making in China today. In 1956 Mao ordered the radical simplification of the ancient complex calligraphic writing system used by the court by standardizing the characters and their sounds, reducing their form and number, creating a sudden lack of referential symbols and images. Is the sidelining of Chinese calligraphy paradigmatic of modern Chinese culture? How does China deal with its cultural heritage in light of the rapid changes brought about by globalization? These poignant issues are explored through the 38 artists spanning the early 1980s to the present including Ai Wei Wei, Chen Guangwu, Chen Zaiyan and Dai Guangyu along with artist interviews, essays by cultural historians and curators and installation views from the exhibition.

By the time the Gutenberg Bible appeared in Germany in 1456, printing had already been known in the East for some five hundred years. The Chinese had made movable type from ceramic and from wood in the eleventh century, and the Koreans developed the technique of casting type in bronze, iron, and various alloys. In East Asia, this revolutionary technology was intimately connected with the art of calligraphy, which reached supreme aesthetic heights espeically in China. It is this aspect of East Asian printing that gives it an impressive place in the history of art. [This book] carefully examines the influence of the different styles of calligraphy on the making of books both before and after the advent of printing. First exploring early forms of writing such as inscriptions on bone, bamboo strips, and bronzes, the authors go on to trace the historic stages of bookmaking, from handwritten scrolls on silk and paper to block-printed books and, finally, the products of early modern times, printined with movable metal type. Illustrated with photographs of one hundred and twenty-nine items selected for exhibition at the Art Museum, Princeton University, this book is also a catalogue of treasures from the University's Gest Library, a collection of almost half a million rare and valuable volumes in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other languages.-- Book Jacket.
