1 comments about Biography of China's Master of Water-ink Painting: Qi Baishi; An Intermediate Chinese Reader.
  1. Lin Domizio's Qi Baishi invites readers to enjoy a biographical narrative that is both visually sensational and textually rich. It illustrated with 20 water-ink paintings by Prof. Charles Chu. It reveals vividly the trajectory of Qi Baishi's life and his transformation from a herd boy of a poor family in Hunan Province to China's most popular literati artist in 20th century China. Graded level of this reader is 1,200 Chinese characters. "It is suitable for the first semester of third-year Chinese course at college level... This can also be used for AP Chinese courses. Students who have read Prof. Charles Chu's Ch'i Pai-shih in the past will likely enjoy this book even more," prefaced by Dr. Tao-chung Ted Yao.

1 comments about Maya Lin (Contemporary Biographies).
  1. Basic information on Lin's life is there, and some art terms and other words are defined in the text and in a glossary. But the book begins at the peak of excitement ("She won!") and immediately falls into a description of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial competition that fails to hold interest or build a strong storyline. Ling provides good context for Maya's work with information about her family and childhood, but the complete lack of family photos is surprising. For instance, a discussion of Henry Lin's ceramic artwork is illustrated with a generic photograph of an unidentified artist.

    One mistake: Maya graduated from Athens High School in June,1977.
