Pan Tianshou (1897-1971), born in Ninghai, Zhejiang, is a master of modern Chinese painting and art educator. This running script scroll embodies his iconic calligraphic style. The brushwork is powerful and bold, with dramatic contrast of stroke thickness and alternating dry-wet ink tones, full of epigraphic charm.
