Artworks of the early graduates of the Indochina College of Fine Arts such as Le Pho, Mai Trung Thu, and Vu Cao Dam will be offered at the auction, which will open with the theme of “20th Century Vietnamese Art”.
The focal point of the auction delves into the Resistance Art period in Northern Vietnam, showcasing prominent artists like Luu Cong Nhan, Le Huy Hoa, Tran Luu Hau, Nguyen Trong Kiem, and Tran Dong Luong. Their works predominantly reflect realism, capturing the pulse of the era and the nation.
Moving to the South, until 1975, within just two decades, talented artists such as Nguyen Phuoc, Nguyen Trung, Nguyen Khai, Ho Huu Thu, and many others resonated, yearning for creativity and innovation amidst the aftermath of 30 years of intense war.
The Indochina College of Fine Arts was officially established in 1924, marking a crucial turning point in Vietnamese art history. It began enrolling students in 1925, and over its 20-year history, the school nurtured a community of quality artists, elevating Vietnamese art beyond anonymity./.
