Wang To (1592-1652)
Ch’ing dynasty.
Wang To’s style name was Chűeh-szu, his sobriquet Sung-ch’iao. He was a native of Meng-chin in Honan province. He entered the government service in the last years of the Ming dynasty, and continued to serve when the Ch’ing dynasty organized its administration. As an artist, Wang To was extremely versatile. He had a broadly based background in classical studies and was an essayist and poet. In addition to his calligraphy, he is known for landscapes, orchids, bamboo, plum blossoms, and rocks. His brush moved with freedom and force.
The Wu-sheng Shih-shih says, “His semi-cursive and cursive style characters are in the tradition of the Wang-Hsi-chih and Wang Hsieh-chih and his standard script is derived from that of Chung Yao. Even though his work is primarily based on these two masters, his own genius is everywhere evident.” Drawing on his own resources, he had his version of the “Ni-shan-yűan” engraved on stone. This piece contained all the major calligraphic styles.
