The opening ceremony will be held on 8th July at 4.30 p.m. at the Art Museum. Among the five basic scripts in Chinese calligraphy, the cursive script is characteristic for the linked brush strokes and the most varied and simplified form of the characters. While the writing could be rapidly rendered, the disadvantage of cursive calligraphy is that it could be somehow illegible. In the 1930s to 40s, Yu Youren (1879-1964) promoted the standardization of the cursive script, and he himself became a well-known master of cursive calligraphy. This exhibition has assembled Yu's representative works from various sources to demonstrate the great accomplishments of the master. The majority of the exhibits are drawn from the collections of Yu's descendants, including those of his grandson, Prof. Lawrence J. Lau, vice-chancellor of the University. As a protean figure, Yu was celebrated in political, literary, educational and artistic circles. He had been the president of the Control Yuan of the Nationalist Government for over three decades. In the art world, Yu was hailed as the master of cursive calligraphy in modem China. He concentrated on the study of the cursive script and finally developed a powerful and fluent personal style which came to be known as the 'Yu style'. 3 第二六二期 二 零 零 五 年 六 月 十 九 日
