Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"This book is quite innovative in its perspective of how the brushstrokes necessary for Chinese calligraphy can be traced in paintings. . the authors use the enthusiasm for the 2008 Beijing Olympics to encourage spectators to study Chinese arts, too. . The target audience for this book spans the gamut. . The authors hope that both the art and science communities will be interested in the book's topics . . This is one of the important texts in the current literature on these topics." (Minette Carl, ACM Computing Reviews, September, 2009)
