Abstract
Tong Yang-Tze was the 2020 Wong Chai Lok Calligraphy Fellow. During a career spanning four decades, Yangtze has received critical acclaim for her large-scale and unrestrained cursive script. Yang-Tze's Immortal at the River was exhibited for the first time in the United States at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art on campus. The subject of this 54-meter-long calligraphic work is the poem by the same name by Yang Shen (1488–1559) that forms the preface to the standard edition of the Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms (San guo yan yi).
