Catalogue Note:
“‘Autumn Blossoms’ was painted in 1978 by Shiy De–jinn at his home in Taichung. It was a brisk October morning. We were headed to an aviary in Nantou for birdwatching when we passed by Jiujiu Peak in Caotun. In a garden by the side of the road stood a rock, simple and earthy, and from a hole peeked a single red blossom. The Master was greatly moved and stood there for a long time admiring it. After he returned home, he painted this to remember the event. On the back of the painting, in the lower right hand corner, is a seal bearing the words ‘From the collection of Sheng–hua.’” (Mr. Sheng–hua Lu, the aetist's friend and former Director of the Shiy De–jinn Foundation)
