hooker兄指教的是,比较不同文化艺术的高下实在是是伧夫所为。惭愧惭愧! 双方各有其独特的历史背景与文化内涵,应该放在各自的体系内进行比较。比较的结果也是为了探索人类不同的艺术之路,而不是非要分出一个高下。俺又细读了几遍此文,发现作者这一点其实已说得挺明白了,呵呵。
再者,要更好地讨论这个话题,或许多少要去了解一点西欧书法。俺找了点资料,供感兴趣的朋友参考。
The Topic:
Calligraphy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Easier - Calligraphy is the art of making beautiful or elegant handwriting. It is a fine art of skilled penmanship.
Harder - The word calligraphy literally means beautiful writing. Before the invention of the printing press some 500 years ago, it was the way books were made. Each copy was handwritten out by a scribe working in a scriptorium. The hand writing was done with quill and ink onto materials like vellum or parchment. The lettering style applied was one of the period bookhands like rustic, carolingian, blackletter, etc.
Today, there are three main types or styles of calligraphy: (1) Western or Roman, (2) Arabic, and (3) Chinese or Oriental. This project focuses mainly on Western calligraphy.
