- Abstract
The conception of cultural circulations in Art History is worthy of investigating the circulations of calligraphy across time and place. Specifically, this article will continue Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann’s exploration of the connections between Eastern and Western art forms by examining horizontally the reciprocity of artwork from a global perspective. In particular, It will trace the modern reinterpretations of the calligraphic tradition in the works of Zao Wou-Ki and Joan Miró via artistic styles and practices such as Cubism. In this way, looking beyond global circulation allows people to respond to the underlying connections between calligraphy and Cubism: each represents either Past or Present, East or West. It is argued that comparing these two artistic practices enables people to approach the continuity of Mankind.
