Wild cursive script by eighth century calligrapher Zhang Xu. Forget yer Pollocks and Rothkos. Zhang was down with abstract expressionism more than a thousand years before they were even drips on their fathers palettes. I posted the image at the bottom elsewhere a week or so back.

Note to Admins: Is there any way of enlarging the presentation width? Scroll-bars are a pain and 440 pixels is no width at all when you're showing images
