“Mo Cua - Fine arts through 30 years of renewal” exhibition opens in Hanoi
The event is expected to make people think about the first phase of the renewal period, reflect on quiet moments in the art field and find a new way to further nurture the country’s fine arts in its international integration process today, according to the organising board.
Some 50 artists are participating in an exhibition with the theme “Mo Cua - Fine arts through 30 years of Vietnam’s renewal” that opens on September 21 at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum on 66 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Hanoi to showcase 30 years of the country’s renewal policy. The exhibition hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is underway until September 28.
Art critic Nguyen Duc Binh, a curator of the Mo Cua (Open Door) exhibition said that the event aims to pay tribute to artists who have made considerable contributions to the country’s fine arts through the past 30 years. The public and the art circle will see the change in the field of fine arts as well as many other areas of our society, he added.
There is no division of artists according to localities or forms of art. The 50 artists include painter Tran Luu Hau, who is the oldest (born in 1928). He now still continues to work on his art.
The youngest is sculptor Thai Nhat Minh (born in 1984).
Painter Vu Tan Dan (1946-2009) is among the familiar names and among the pioneers in practising contemporary art in the country..
Painter Ha Tri Hieu believed that the revitalisation of fine arts stemmed from the 1970s and the renewal policy started in 1986 affected the arts and produced quite a few names.
That period may be dubbed as the ‘season of fine arts’, he said. Since 2000, a new generation of painters of the contemporary arts has emerged. It’s regrettable they haven’t been promoted enough.
The organisers hoped the event would make people think about the first phase of the renewal period, reflect on quiet moments in the art field and find a new way to further nurture the country’s fine arts in its international integration process today.
A book on the artists will be published after the event, in which each artist will introduce three of their works to the public.
