From the Xiang Xue Zhuang Collection in memory of Dr Tan Tsze Chor
Dr TanTsze Chor’s early education in China laid the foundation for his knowledge of Chinese poetry and calligraphy. He boldly broke away from tradition by using coloured ink and adopting several different scripts within a single piece of work. His writing has a strong sense of ornamentation due to their colours, combination of scripts and sometimes, the use of patterned paper or silk. Dr Tan transcribed this melancholic poem about autumn in combined regular, running, and cursive scripts. Typical of his later works, the characters here are more pronounced and have cursive flourishes.
