Famous Vietnamese painter’s work auctioned for US$35,000

Two months earlier, another work by the esteemed 20th-century Vietnamese artist was also auctioned for US$27,000 in Hanoi.

In addition, his oil painting, titled ‘Nude’, set a record for the most expensive fine art work in Vietnam, with the price of US$1.4 million at an auction at Christie’s in Hong Kong.

At the recent auction No.26, paintings by many other artists, such as Bui Xuan Phai, Nguyen Van Thau, Pham Van Don, Nguyen Thi Kim, Van Den and Ngo Huy Quynh, were also auctioned.

Le Pho was one of the first painters of the Indochina Fine Arts School and was listed among the ten elite students by the principal and mentor Victor Tardieu.

In 1931, he went to France to decorate exhibitions in Paris, and then received a scholarship to study at the Paris School of Fine Arts where he had the chance to learn art genres, of which impressionism influenced his art works.

Vietnam discovers 2,000-year-old stringed instrument

Image
Discovered along the Mekong River in southern Vietnam, the 2,000-year-old instrument resembles a single-stringed harp and may have been an ancestor to the complex musical instruments people still plucked today in Vietnam, according to UK-based science website IFLScience . The artifact consists of a 35-centimeter piece of deer antler with a hole at one end for a peg, which was likely used to tune the string. The antler most likely came from a Sambar deer or an Indian hog deer, two species native to mainland Southeast Asia. While the string seems to have eroded away long ago, the instrument features a bridge that was perhaps used to support the string. Lead researcher and Ph.D. student Fredeliza Campos from the Australian National University said the artifact is at least 2,000 years old — dating back to Vietnam’s pre-Oc Eo culture along the Mekong River, which is exceptionally early for this kind of instrument. How the artifact could have been played. Image credit: F Z Campo...
