Ch: Wang Xizhi (303-61). A famous Chinese calligrapher
of the Eastern Jin period, considered an originator of both the cursive sou
and runing gyou s scripts, often called Ishao (Jp: Itsushou ν). from
a well-known calligrapher family in Shandong R Province, Wang Xizhi surpassed
all contemporaries in mastery of the brush. He served as an official in several
posts before retiring in 355 to live in Zhejiang ΄]. Wang Xizhi and his son Wang
Xianzhi (Jp:Ou Kenshi €£V, 344-388) often are called the Two Wangs
(two kings) of calligraphy. Various anecdotes from Wang Xizhi's life are illustrated in painting. Wang Xizhi typically is painted standing on a River bank or in a pavilion gazing at geese or ducks because he is said to have found in their supple muscularity and sinuous necks inspiration for his calligraphy. The fan painting by Josetsu @Ω (fl. early 15c, Kyoto National Museum) is the best known Japanese example of the latter episode. In addition, Wang Xizhi was a host of the famous Orchid Pavilion Gathering *Rantei kyokusui ΰΘ which was also a favorite theme of Chinese and Japanese artists. |
