Calligraphy, poetry, and painting are considered the high arts of China. By the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), calligraphers used the term qi (eccentric or strange) to describe novel approaches to their writings, expressing more artistic freedom, sentiment, and personality in their individual styles. This exhibition presents about a dozen works of calligraphy from the collections of the museum and a private collector, some on display for the first time.
