The formation of a school is always a conscious combination of people with similar or similar world outlook, outlook on life, politics and art under certain time and space conditions.
"Modernist" calligraphy is a school of calligraphy that some calligraphy artists can't meet the limitations of traditional calligraphy. On the basis of traditional calligraphy, they expanded some modern concepts and production techniques, broke the traditional form with Chinese characters as the main axis, and expressed their artistic pursuit, aesthetic tendency, thoughts and feelings in a modern way, which was manifested as works with obvious artistic personality. "Modernist" calligraphy is a spiritual phenomenon that a group of calligraphy explorers learn from western modern aesthetic thoughts and express and reflect the objective world through their own subjective feelings and personal aesthetic grasp of life. They decompose Chinese characters, and use various means and methods such as painting and calligraphy, making cymbals, mounting, etc., and use different materials and tools to reflect their pursuit of calligraphy art, which will have obvious personalized artistic style and characteristics in performance.
Although "modernist" calligraphy is still in the exploratory stage, its appearance is undoubtedly a collision with traditional calligraphy art.
