Calligraphy Today by Heather Child

This is a revised edition of a survey of calligraphy, first published in 1963. The book now incluides contributions from Ann Camp, Villu Toots and Sheila Waters and covers the development and practice of calligraphy in the 20th century. The text ranges from Edward Johnson's revival of calligraphy based on historical scripts, through the pioneering work of his students in Britain, Germany and North America, to the current period of expansion and new forms of expression. Illustrations of the work of some hundred calligraphers from Britain, Europe and America show how they are looking beyond the traditional to the dynamics of German graphic design and the calligraphy of Islam and Japan.
