Customer reviews Excellent reference for beginner or advanced calligrapher by .. M. Wood (Melbourne, Australia)
Ralph Douglass's Calligraphic Lettering provides a good resource for beginning or more advanced calligraphers. This is one of the first calligraphy books I used as a child some 20 years ago and was so glad to see it republished again recently.
The author offers several different calligraphic hands with a brief history for each. He also includes sections on design, proportion and a couple of pages on teaching children to write - a section I am now using to teach my children. The thing I like most about this book is that it emphasises the need to practise.
The Ultimate Learning Reference by .. Letter-Bug (OAK RIDGE, TN USA)
The lovely, hand-lettered text of this book distinguishes it even before you get to the wonderful, clear alphabet studies. Its spiral binding makes it very easy to refer to pages while working; and for some reason, other calligraphy texts haven't figured that out.
I do calligraphy as an amateur (literally, for the love of it) as well as for pay. I am not a teacher by profession; but whenever I teach a calligraphy class, this is my prime reference book.
Recently I thought I had lost my copy, and that is when I realized how much I depend on this book. It is The Best.
If you are going to own only one calligraphy guide, this is the one!
The classic, out-of-print primer for the serious beginner. by .. Patrick Doyle (doylepj@sprintmail.com) (Greenville, SC)
This hard-back, spiral-bound work has a plethora of alphabets for the beginning adult scribe to learn. Many classic examples from art history, and adequate detail from the author are available to guide the willing penman. One who will devote time and self-discipline for serious practice will find this work an able guide to learning classic letter formations.

Product Description Robert Motherwell was by far the most intellectual and articulate of the Abstract Expressionists. This book, written by the renowned writer and critic Mary Ann Caws, a friend of the artist, examines how Motherwell's way of writing and thinking illuminated his paintings. American by birth, yet European in his literary and philosophical perspectives, he straddled two traditions. He was drawn to France and French literature, to the idea of elegy and the Spanish Civil War, to the Surrealists, yet his spirit was singularly American -- a tension that gave his oeuvre a particular intensity. Drawing on conversations with the artist as well as on his writings, Robert Motherwell with Pen and Brush brings his distinctive approach, unique among the Abstract Expressionists, into focus.

Product Description Exploring the rich moral and philosophical implications of Chinese calligraphy as it is alive in the meeting of East-West, this volume pairs the works of two philosophers who are deeply committed to inter-cultural dialogue: Peimin Ni, whose artwork features large-scale images of classical Chinese calligraphy in a rich variety of styles, and Stephen Rowe, whose verse offers a contemplative response to the Chinese symbols from a Western perspective. The cross-cultural exchange goes beyond literal translation to articulate and celebrate the human condition. The book contains images and verse by Ni and Rowe as well as commentary by prominent figures in East-West relations, including Tu Weiming, Huston Smith, Elizabeth Minnich, and John Cobb.
