Mi Fei (Mi Fu): Shu-su-t'ieh
Sung Dynasty / handscroll / ink on silk
 |
Mi Fei (1051-1107), counted as one of the
Four Great Calligraphers of the Sung dynasty, always pursued ancient styles of calligraphy
and assimilated the spirit of calligraphers of the Chin dynasty. This work, produced when
he was thirty-eight, is a representative piece from the prime of his life. Eight poems composed
by himself are written on silk into which the ruled lines are woven in dark threads, and
Mi Fei's true characteristic is displayed in his exquisite brush work. The last section of
the scroll bears inscriptions, vying with one another in elegance, by Ming dynasty masters
such as Shen Chou, Chu Yun-ming, Ku Ts'ung-i and Tung Ch'i-ch'ang.
