Pu Hua’s calligraphy mostly appears in cursive or running script.
Drawing on Ming dynasty masters of calligraphy such as Chen
Xianzhang (1428-1500) and Fu Shan (1607-1685), Pu Hua also
integrated techniques of the 19th century Jinshi movement that sought
inspiration from the earliest sources of the Chinese written language
inscribed on metal and stone. Hence his calligraphy appears vigorous
and energetic, with the jagged-edged strokes recalling a chisel cutting
through stone.
