An exhibition featuring 66 artworks from 55 artists, created between 1954 and 2010, is currently on display. The artworks are showcased through both traditional formats and digital projections, providing an engaging exploration of Vietnam’s revolutionary past.
Each artist offers distinct viewpoints and styles, contributing pieces that are rich in historical significance, beauty, and human sentiment, reflecting the proud legacy of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
The collection encompasses various historical milestones, from President Ho Chi Minh’s quest for independence to the country’s battles during the French and American wars, as well as its subsequent rebuilding and modernization efforts.
Art historian Nguyen Hoang Long highlighted the painting “Victory,” which received the Silver Medal at the National Fine Arts Exhibition in 1985. He described it as a visual narrative that captures Vietnam’s spirit of resistance and longing for peace.
The painting’s revolutionary realism is highlighted by its detailed layout, portraying the contrasts between conflict and harmony, oppression and freedom. This combination tells a powerful story, emphasizing its deeply humanistic ideas.
Using a complex technique of simultaneity, the artist contrasts images of violence—such as guillotines, tanks, and weapons—with resilient figures of humanity, whose determined expressions embody steadfast courage.
Among the turmoil, symbols of hope like white doves, bright balloons, and joyful faces illustrate that the enduring dreams of the Vietnamese people focus on peace and unity.
Nguyen Hoang Long stated, “This piece transcends a mere depiction of historical resistance; it serves as a compelling appeal for unity, patriotism, and resilience, embodying the ideals of freedom, peace, and a hopeful future.”
The exhibition will continue until February 27, 2025, at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum.
