  • The Calligrapher's Journey: Personal Expression and the Development of Style in Cursive Script

  • Cursive script, caoshu, is deeply personal, reflecting the calligrapher’s unique inner world and artistic sensibilities. This essay will explore how individual calligraphers develop their personal style in caoshu, examining how their experiences, emotions, and artistic preferences shape the way they interpret and execute the script. We will begin by acknowledging that while the foundations of caoshu are derived from traditional methods, its practice is ultimately deeply personal, as it reflects the calligrapher's unique perspective on the art form. The initial study of traditional techniques is simply the foundation for more personal expression.
