Hua Li ( 1909 – 2001 ) was an artist born in Macao , a small territory on the southern coast of China. He earned his degree in civil engineering from the Tsing Hua University and a second degree in architecture from M.I.T. after immigrating to the United States in his late 30s. While he enjoyed an award-winning career as an Architect , his real passions in life proved to be Painting and Photography . In addition to his talents in photography and Watercolors , Mr. Li created abstract color images in the 1950s that look quite modern by today's standards. His photographs are printed on high-quality tapestry paper, adding to the vintage look of the work. Throughout his long life he enlarged his portfolio of photographic prints, transparencies, sketches, and architectural drawings, winning prizes at various exhibits in the Boston area. Mr. Li was well travelled, having visited Portugal , Tunisia , and Turkey during the 1960s. Mr. Li died in Southern California in 2001 at the age of 91. Currently the Getty Trust documents 4000 negatives attributed to Hua Li. |
