Work from Jackson, Ingmire back to Edward Johnson
This largely pictorial survey embraces the development and practice of Western calligraphy in the twentieth century. It ranges from the revival by Edward Johnston of calligraphy based on historical scripts, through the pioneering work of his students in Britain, Germany and North America, to the current period of expansion and new forms of expression. Calligraphers are increasingly looking beyond the traditional to the dynamics of German graphic design and to the calligraphy of other cultures -- Islamic and Japanese. Illustrations include examples of historical scripts and the work of some 100 calligraphers, particularly contemporary work from such hands as Donald Jackson, Friedrich Neugebauer and Thomas Ingmire.
