Review
From the reviews:
"This book is quite innovative in its perspective of how the brushstrokes necessary for Chinese calligraphy can be traced in paintings. ... the authors use the enthusiasm for the 2008 Beijing Olympics to encourage spectators to study Chinese arts, too. ... The target audience for this book spans the gamut. ... The authors hope that both the art and science communities will be interested in the book’s topics ... . This is one of the important texts in the current literature on these topics." (Minette Carl, ACM Computing Reviews, September, 2009)
