An abstract from Peter Greenaway’s interview where he shares his impressions after visiting the International Exhibition of Calligraphy:
“There is no word and image cooperation in Western culture. I am sure that in Russia unlike Europe such tradition was brought about by the specific historical realia. Russia is a huge country which unites the tradition and culture of East and West. Thus, the International Exhibition of Calligraphy can not be held anywhere except Russia”.
Calligraphy is frozen poetry.
