Shiy De-jinn once said, “If we don’t explain watercolor painting in such a narrow way, will it enable us to see Chinese ink painting of the Song Dynasty as a kind of watercolor painting?” The exploration of modern Chinese painting allowed him to establish ‘Taiwan landscapes, Chinese concepts’–his unique style in watercolor. Watercolor and ink wash became two sides of the same coin. His exploration of ink wash accomplished his unique style of watercolor, while his achievement in watercolor also revealed the spark of ink wash.”

In a conversation with the architect C. Y. Lee, Shiy De-jinn said, “In Chinese painting, artists must reach their seventies or eighties in order to produce their most outstanding piece of work. This is particularly true for the art of calligraphy, that one can never reach one’s peak until ‘the person and the work are both in maturity’. This is something that does not exist in the work of Western artists. I think Chinese people value personal cultivation and exaltation, which is an extremely sublime state. Lastly, one has to be immense, humble, vigorous, hidden and modest, giving the viewer a sudden shock and a transient stimulus.”

completed his rare, giant color ink painting here-“Wu-ling.” Fascinated by Taiwan’s natural landscape, Shiy once proudly said that “The mountains here are Taiwan’s mountains as well as Shiy De-jiin’s. The strokes and ink here are calligraphy developed in Chin and Han, but it has an artistic concept of modern China. Since I have a good foundation in painting, I can grasp precise shapes. Because I am versatile, my watercolor combines the richness of oil painting and the spirit of ink wash. Other watercolorists cannot produce such a painting, and Western painters cannot create the ridgeline of my mountains and rivers, either. They are the fruit of my diligent practice in calligraphy. typical creation of Shiy De-jinn.”

Garden Rocks.
When I saw that rocks were placed in front of many modern buildings in Beijing as adornments, I realized that this two thousand year-old tradition, which has continued all this time, had lost its meaning. The casual ease in which they are used shows that its spiritual meaning has been eroded, and one cannot help but link it to the loss of culture. When we accepted industrialization, at the same time we had to accept the culture that stemmed from it. If a culture and its people disappeared, then I guess nothing more needs to be said. But the problem is when the culture disappears but its people still exist, that's an entirely different story. We end up with traditional garden rocks placed in The Marks front of modern buildings, and a mix of different cultural systems.�

Transaction Agreement The following provisions are entered into by and between the Company, as the auctioneer, and the Seller (hereinafter the "Seller"). This Agreement is also entered into by and between the Company as the agent of the Seller and the Buyer (hereinafter the "Buyer"). Both the Buyer and the Seller must carefully review all provisions hereunder. The Buyer should pay special attention to Article 5 which provides limitations as to the legal responsibilities of the Company. I. The Buyer 1. Ravenel as the Agent The Company, as the auctioning party, shall act as the agent of the Seller. Except otherwise provided, items successfully sold in the auction held by the Company shall be bound by the agreement made by and between the Seller, through the agency of the Company, and the Buyer. 2. Prior to the auction a. Authentication We strongly recommend that the prospective buyers conduct their own authentication for the items they are interested in bidding prior to the auction. We provide no guarantees to the buyer (with the exception of the guarantee with b. Important Notice Attention, prospective buyers: As far as possible, the descriptions of auction items will mention obvious defects of the items; however, they do not necessarily include all flaws, defects, or incomplete aspects. The Company regrets that it is unable to guarantee that the wristwatches on auction are in good working condition and the descriptions in the catalogue must not be construed as implying such. The description of the auction items also do not imply that the items have not gone through readjustment or repair or allude anything about the current state or storage conditions of the items. Any omission in the catalogue description regarding the current condition or the appraisal of defects in the items by no means represent that those items are in good condition, function normally, or that there will be any free repair or replacement of parts. We strongly recommend prospective buyers to personally view the items for which they plan to bid before the auction itself. If a prospective buyer is unable to view an item for whatever reason, then in our role as a service provider, we would be more than happy to offer our opinion of an item's special characteristics and current condition. However, the Company is not a professional restorer of wristwatches; therefore, any description in the catalogue is purely the Company's subjective opinion and not a statement of fact. Please note: The outer shells of many of the water-resistant watches have been opened in order to investigate their working condition and their type; therefore, it must not be assumed that they are currently water-resistant. We recommend buyers to have such watches checked by a competent watchmaker before use. Please note: The restoration of the items on auction may have resulted in original parts being replaced; therefore, we are unable to guarantee that any given watch's parts are from the original set of parts. All of the items on auction are being sold in "as is" condition.the Company does not provide any representation or guarantee as to the condition of any of the items. Unless otherwise stated, the Company does not provide any warranty with the items. c. Symbol Key The following key explains the symbol you may see inside this catalogue. Guaranteed Property The Seller of the Lots with this symbol next to the Lot number has been guaranteed a minimum price from one auction or a series of auctions.

Third parties providing or participating in a guarantee a loss if the sale is not successful. If third parties providing or participating in a guarantee is the successful bidder for the guaranteed Lot, they should be required to pay the full service fee. d. Catalogue Explanations Any statement of the author, history, date, year, size, material, ownership, authenticity, origin, condition of preservation or estimated selling price of any of the Lots shown in the catalogue or the authentication opinion made by the Company, or any other verbal or written statements made separately shall be solely statements of opinions and shall not be deemed the basis for the statements of actual fact. The photographs shown in the catalogue shall serve as reference only and shall not be deemed as the basis for determining the color or tone of any Lots or disclosure of the defects of such item. The estimates of the auction price shall not be deemed the price at which such item will be successfully sold or the statement of the value of the item for other purposes. Many auction items fail to maintain their perfect condition because of time and other environmental factors. Some of the explanations in the catalogue or the authentication opinions will state defects and/or the repair background of the Lots. Such information is meant for reference only. Missing information in the statements does not mean the Lot has no defects or has not been repaired. Any statement of one particular defect does not mean there is no any other defect. e. Responsibility of the Buyer The Buyer is responsible for clarifying and satisfying himself about the condition of the items and any related matters stated in the catalogue descriptions. 3. In the auction Sales Tax Payable by the Buyer a. The Buyer shall pay (value added) sales tax in the amount of 5% of the Hammer Price with respect to imported works of art collected by

The exchange rate is calculated at the exchange rate of the one-month future goods reported to the Company from the bank when starting business on the day of the auction. Nonetheless, the auction will still be conducted in NT dollars. The exchange rate conversion board is not absolutely reliable. The accuracy of either the Lot numbering shown on the board or the equivalent of the bid price in any foreign currency is not within the control of the Company. The Company will not be responsible for any losses caused by the reliance of the Buyer on the exchange rate conversion board. j.
