Kang Sheng - Running And Cursive Script Calligraphy

Description

68cm x 39cm. Kang Sheng (1898–1975), a prominent political figure and accomplished calligrapher of twentieth-century China, was renowned for his powerful interpretation of running and cursive script. Influenced by the Stele School tradition, his calligraphy is marked by robust brushwork, angular structure, and a strong epigraphic sensibility. This work demonstrates a dynamic interplay between disciplined composition and expressive movement, where compact strokes and fluid transitions generate rhythmic tension across the surface. The vertical arrangement conveys both gravitas and vitality, embodying a restrained yet forceful artistic character. As both a cultural and historical artifact, this piece reflects the enduring dialogue between classical calligraphic tradition and modern Chinese intellectual history.
