Title: A Better Book, the More You Know
Review: This is an interesting, although a very basic book about CHINESE CALLIGRAPHY: FROM PICTOGRAPH TO IDEOGRAM, by Eduardo Fazzioli. The previous reviewer may not realize that the pictograms of Chinese characters are in common use today, and are called Seal Script. The illustrations may be a bit fanciful, but do contain more than a seed of the origins. As a student of both Chinese painting and calligraphy, I have spent a great deal of my time practicing a character in a nine-square grid in order to get the spacing and composition of the character correct, just as children in China do every day. Only then is it permitted to be more "artistic" with my calligraphy.
