Catalogue Note:
“‘Happy Birthday and Viva Forever’ was painted in July of 1979. My son had just been born and Mr. Shiy paid a special visit. He enjoyed the visit with my son very much and painted this to extend his congratulations. The painting bears the seals ‘From the collection of Sheng–hua’ and ‘Like attracts like.’” (Mr. Sheng–hua Lu, the artist's friend and former Director of the Shiy De–jinn Foundation)
