HONG YI (1880-1942)

This hanging scroll is one of the twelve scrolls of Hong Yi’s Sutra Calligraphy. The complete works of Sutra Calligraphy was illustrated in the book Calligraphy by Master Hong Yi published by Shanghai Painting and Calligraphy Publishing House. However, the lack of seals on the three scrolls should be an error of typesetting in the process of colour printing. This case happens frequently in early publications.
