Wang Xizhi Chinese Painting Print – Zhongqiu Tie Calligraphy

Painted in the Wang Xizhi tradition, this Zhongqiu Tie Calligraphy has the quiet confidence of the old masters, and a worthy Chinese art print for framing. Expect a flat, unmounted sheet — the huaxin print, and nothing but the print. Wang Xizhi, the 4th-century ‘Sage of Calligraphy,’ set the standard every later hand measured itself against.

Calligraphy, Zhongqiu Tie, handscroll: the classic trio, handled with restraint — exactly what this kind of Chinese home decor print should be. The written lines are drawn as much as written; calligraphy was never separate from painting, the kind of Asian wall decor worth framing well. In the handscroll manner, the scene unrolls rather than presenting itself all at once. The image holds together at any distance — strong from across the room, fine up close.

Pair it with plain mounting and let the image do the talking — a Chinese calligraphy wall art with real substance. The kind of piece guests ask about. Have the story ready.
