The first comprehensive exploration of Taiwanese artist Tong Yang-Tze’s five-decade career in Chinese calligraphy—arguably the only woman with this distinction.

As one of the most celebrated contemporary artists working exclusively in the art of writing, Tong Yang-Tze (b. 1942) pushes the boundaries of this traditional art form, creating monumental works that bring the Chinese script into three-dimensional space while integrating painterly strategies and preserving the essence of calligraphy.

This authoritative volume not only documents Tong’s significant contributions to the field but serves as a valuable resource for understanding Chinese calligraphy as a living, evolving art form. Featuring over eighty color plates, newly commissioned essays by renowned scholars, an anthology of critical reviews, and an illustrated chronology, the volume showcases Tong’s unique ability to bridge classical Chinese art and literature with contemporary modes of expression, challenging perceptions of the art of writing in the modern world.
