A collection of Zhao Puchu's copies after Mi Fu's exemplary works, the album presented us another face of Zhao's calligraphy, using wetter, varied brushstrokes for a more-angled construction of characters to imitate Mi's genre. The contrast of black ink against gold-flecked rice paper, has brought an exquisiteness to the work. Zhao created this work at the age of eighty-four in 1990 when his calligraphy approached maturity.
