About ZhuZi Art Boek
Een serie boekuitgaven voor de verzamelde werken van traditionele Chinese kalligrafie en schilderkunst wordt uitgegeven door Nanjing Zhuzi Art Museum. Met zijn lange geschiedenis en elegante techniek, worden de traditionele Chinese schilderijen en kalligrafie gekoesterd vanwege hun zeer artistieke en praktische aantrekkingskracht. Bij het ontwerpen van de collectie zijn abstracte vormen, kleuren en lijnen gebruikt om een consistente sensualiteit te creëren en de lege ruimte in de schets te benadrukken. Het moeiteloze valt samen met kunstenaars in traditionele schilder- en kalligrafiestijlen.
