Even, some people have a whim, writing with their hair, covering their eyes, writing with a pen in their nostrils, writing with their hands, writing backwards, writing with pictures in their words and so on. This kind of grandstanding juggling is more speechless than absurd ugly books!
And those works that claim to be so-called overlapping calligraphy, pictographic calligraphy, Zen calligraphy, firewood calligraphy, metaphysics calligraphy, Yi Dao calligraphy, etc., with ghost symbols and the like. These strange and innovative people are at best performance art, not calligraphy art, because calligraphy is self-cultivation, not show. These people's aesthetic tastes are distorted and changeable, grandstanding, unconventional, taking shortcuts and wanting to be famous.
Therefore, those who are so ugly are embarrassed by those who can stand loneliness and get quick success, and are divorced from the essential morbid impetuous people.
There is no objective and consistent explanation about what an ugly book is. In terms of artistic feeling, there is indeed a phenomenon that radish and cabbage have their own love, and the object of beauty and ugliness is not so certain.
Especially for the calligraphy art formed on the basis of writing China symbols, the definition of ugliness is more complicated because of the abstraction and contract of the symbols themselves. In fact, no calligrapher wants to call his calligraphy an ugly book.
The development of modern calligraphy is largely driven by exhibition halls. It is the great pursuit of contemporary exhibitors to publicize their individuality in their works and achieve eye-catching results in the exhibition hall. So some people use the opposite method.
