This first-ever monograph not only documents Tong s significant contributions to the field for over fifty years, but serves as a valuable resource for understanding Chinese calligraphy as a living, evolving art form. Featuring over eighty color plates, newly commissioned essays, an anthology of critical reviews, and an illustrated chronology, the volume showcases Tong s unique achievements in bridging classical Chinese art and literature with contemporary modes of expression, and challenging perceptions of the art of writing in the modern world. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369537581429,"sku":"9788891844217","price":68.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9788891844217.jpg?v=1763553557","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9788891844217","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
