A self-published hardcover oil painting anthology by Yicheng Egan Lin (b. 1944), a Kaohsiung-based architect and painter. Born in Qishan, Kaohsiung County, Lin earned his B.A. in architecture from Chung Yuan Christian University (1968) and an M.A. from The Ohio State University (1974), practiced as an architect at HNTB in the United States from 1974 to 1977, and in 1977 returned to Taiwan to open his own architectural firm in Kaohsiung. He taught architectural design at Feng Chia University (1977-1984) and served as associate professor of architecture at National Cheng Kung University (1986-1995). He took up oil painting in the late 1990s with the Kaohsiung Architects Association Oil Painting Club, and this volume gathers the work leading up to his 2003 solo exhibition at the Kaohsiung Cultural Center. Preface by Sun Quanwen, professor of architecture at National Cheng Kung University and a longtime colleague; introductory essay "Architect and Art" by the noted Taiwanese painter Pang Jun; the artist's own essay "Travel in Snowing Maple Woods of the Fall" dated May 2003 recounts the 1974 Ohio afternoon, a drive through snow-dusted yellow maple woods, that gives the volume its title. Plates include Taiwanese subjects (An-Pin Fortress, Confucius Temple, Tainan cityscape with tobacco tower, Red Hall at Kaohsiung Senior High, the red-mountain landscape "Dawn," fishing boats at harbor, a red-roofed old house in the mountains, markets and parks) alongside figurative works, still lifes of lilies and chrysanthemums, nudes, and a European travel sketch of Budejuvice, Czech Republic on the rear cover. …
