Mr. Li Zhimin is a contemporary master of cursive calligraphy and is known as the first cursive calligrapher in China in the new era of reform and opening up. Lin San’s cursive calligraphy is characterized by elegant beauty, while Li Zhimin’s cursive calligraphy is characterized by vast beauty. Their styles are very different, and their hardness and softness complement each other, which is great. It enriches and improves the style of cursive script.
What is commendable is that Wei stele pays attention to the metal and stone style, and the shape of the characters is square and sharp, while Kuangcao pays attention to the exiled posture. The two calligraphy styles are very different, but Li Zhimin can organically integrate the two. Integrate Wei stele calligraphy style into Kuangcao more thoroughly, creating a unique and groundbreaking new Kuangcao calligraphy style, which is both majestic and elegant. This is better than what Yu Youren, another contemporary master of cursive calligraphy who combines stele and calligraphy, has done More perfect.
Li Zhimin is the founder of the "Scatter Dot School" of Chinese cursive script. Cursive script is an art of continuity, but Li Zhimin's wild cursive "shrinks lines and changes points", which is a walk and dance of "dots". Created a new form of expression of Chinese cursive script. Li Zhimin's calligraphy and calligraphy theory collection "Calligraphy Theory" and "Cao Theory" collection can be called the contemporary "Calligraphy Genealogy"
