The International Exhibition of Calligraphy cuts a window through on Europe
On April 29th, Pavel Revenko, member of the Project Team of the International Exhibition of Calligraphy met Jean Larcher, a famous French calligrapher in Paris. Messrs. Larcher and Revenko had their meeting near the Centre Pompidou, which underlined the significance of the moment. Jean Larcher is a world-known calligrapher, teacher of calligraphy at the leading European universities of art; he has participated in over 250 international exhibitions.
Mr. Larcher kindly contributed some of his works to be displayed at the International Exhibition of Calligraphy. He admired the idea to organize such a project in Russia. Jean Larcher turned out to be of a remarkably favourable opinion on the project’s website, which, according to the artist, raises the curtain that veils this intriguing, and sometimes even sacral art of calligraphy.
Perhaps Jean Larcher will even be so kind as to give a “family” master-class at the upcoming exhibition in Saint Petersburg. His wife is a calligrapher too, though she working in a more expressive manner.
