Huttner - McFarlin Library, The University of Tulsa, Tulsa, Oklahoma. - Slightly deceptive title. The art is NOT related to calligraphy but rather to student project's imagining artistic communications of an imagined culture. - Mary Dry burgh, Assistant Professor of Art: The students in Advanced Drawing were asked to make a work of art that conveyed meaning without obvious symbolism - to create a page of "beautiful writing" from a culture that doesn t exist but which a viewer could understand without, of course, knowing the language. These "writings" were meant to expand both the concept of what a drawing could be and how content could be expressed. The "beautiful writing" assignment developed from exercises in analogous drawings, which are pictures that suggest meaning and emotion without recourse to concrete images. Content was expressed with only marks and tones and their position on the picture plane. Seller Inventory # 88416
