Collector Truong Van Thuan organizes an exhibition to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the death of famous painter Nguyen Gia Tri.
On June 4, more than 50 sketches and drawings by Nguyen Gia Tri were introduced for the first time by collector Truong Van Thuan.
This is an exhibition to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the death of the famous painter Nguyen Gia Tri, organized by collector Truong Van Thuan. According to him, before demonstrating the lacquer technique, Nguyen Gia Tri had to make many sketches, the details were carefully calculated from the idea, drawing, color to the layout.
The collector shared that through this exhibition, he wanted viewers to see the meticulous personality and carefulness in every detail of a talented painter, from the materials he prepared for the process of creating works that were highly appreciated by experts and loved by audiences.
The most prominent and largest (100x145 cm) is a sketch of a part of the artist's work.
More than 50 works on display are mainly human portrait sketches, country landscapes and abstract themes.
Some paintings do not stop at sketches but become a complete basic work, such as "Kieu", in which he painted a woman playing the pipa.
The painting of a rural landscape is also almost complete. Unfortunately, the year of creation of the works on display cannot be determined, because the author did not write his name or the time on the sketch.
Famous painter Nguyen Gia Tri was born in 1908 in Ha Tay (now Hanoi), he graduated from the Indochina College of Fine Arts in 1936. He is a famous painter, one of the four pillars of Vietnamese fine arts - Nguyen Gia Tri, To Ngoc Van, Nguyen Tuong Lan, Tran Van Can.
