| A corner of "Spring Colors" exhibition |
The exhibition presents to viewers nearly 150 paintings and engravings of folk paintings belonging to 4 of the typical folk painting genres of Vietnam including Dong Ho (Bac Ninh), Hang Trong, Kim Hoang (Hanoi) and Sinh Village (Hue). These are of the collection of Hue Museum of Fine Arts.
These paintings were created to serve the daily lives of the people. Through the skillful hands of artisans, the paintings become extremely unique. Each work is a deeply humanistic message. Folk paintings are the crystallization of many aesthetic, spiritual, and religious values, imbued with cultural elements of Vietnamese people through the ages. Folk paintings not only meet the aesthetic needs and spiritual beliefs of the people but also contain and promote human ethics, educate good qualities, and pray for good things.
In addition to the display and introduction of folk paintings, experimental art education activities were held for students and folk art lovers. The exhibition lasts until March 22.
