By A Customer
This review is from: Maya Lin (Contemporary Biographies) (Library Binding)
Basic information on Lin's life is there, and some art terms and other words are defined in the text and in a glossary. But the book begins at the peak of excitement ("She won!") and immediately falls into a description of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial competition that fails to hold interest or build a strong storyline. Ling provides good context for Maya's work with information about her family and childhood, but the complete lack of family photos is surprising. For instance, a discussion of Henry Lin's ceramic artwork is illustrated with a generic photograph of an unidentified artist.One mistake: Maya graduated from Athens High School in June,1977.
