Du Benji is the second-generation apprentice of Xu Beihong, Chinese master of modern fine arts.
During Du's 50 or more years of accumulation and experience in artistic circles he has created a type of calligraphy that is executed in a manner entirely at odds with the normal approach.
Contemporary calligraphers call it "mighty script," an epithet that conveys its distinctly peremptory air.
