Scroll of Snow Poems in Running-Cursive Script 31.6x483.9
Unrolling this massive scroll reveals a breathtaking river of ink characters flowing across nearly five meters of space. This is Wen Zhengming's 'Snow Poem Scroll,' written in a dynamic running-cursive style that looks almost like abstract art to the untrained eye. Wen was a Ming Dynasty master who didn't pass his imperial exams until he was 54, but he practiced calligraphy daily until he was nearly 90. The wild, varying strokes capture the energy of his brush, turning poems about snow into a visual dance of black ink on beige paper.
