Hua Li
1909 - 2001
Hua Li was born in 1909 in Macao. 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 U.S. in his late thirties. While he enjoyed an award-winning career as an architect, his real passions in life proved to be painting and photography. Throughout his long life he enlarged his portfolio of photographic prints, transparencies, sketches, and architectual drawings, winning prizes at various exhibits in the Boston area. Mr. Li died in Southern California in 2001 at the age of 91.
The library's Hua Li collection represents a small portion of Mr. Li's extensive photographic work. The Getty Research Institute is currently cataloging more than 10,000 of Mr. Li's negatives and photographs.
