Calligraphy
Chinese Calligraphy is an art of Chinese writing.
It's as old as the culture itself. To the artist, Chinese calligraphy is a highly concentrated mental activity that coordinates the mind, body, and spirit to honestly and directly express oneself.
It is a most soothing yet highly disciplined exercise indeed for one's longevity and spiritual well being. Picasso once said that had he been born Chinese, he would have been a calligrapher, not a painter. The attractions of Chinese calligraphy that so fascinated him are clearly visible in his way of painting more abstract and condensed images than most other painters.
