Hello all,
I'd like to share with you some line drawings of Vietnam, that I found nice. I love Vietnamese art; and I feel that I can connect deeply with them.. Perhaps, the type of art that I adore most is the line drawings of Vietnam.. The lines and brushes are very delicate and sensitive, and sometimes quick and sketchy.. giving a very serene and poetic feel to the drawing... I have been searching for a while, for artworks of Vietnam.. these are some that I like, and I'd like to share with you.. If anyone has more, of any type of art, please share with us too! I'd love to be able to admire more. Thanks!

There should be a certain theme for each drawing.. Typically, these drawings are used to illustrate the setting or mood that poets have depicted in their poems.. I am not sure of this, but can only say what the general names of the drawings are. If anyone would care to tell more about the themes, or give a better depiction of the pictures (for those who don't know), that would be appreciated.

Wow, thanks, Johann. This one, of the mother and her child, is so sweet and lovely. Wow, there are a lot of nice artworks at the site you provided!

Also, at the index of the site, I was happy to find there's a lot of good stuff, about like art, sculptures, paintings, and poems- thanks so much! Maybe you should add this to the essential websites thread (if you haven't already) !?

Missing the Bird's Singing, by Dang Minh The

Wow!!! nice Thy You even have the "Co mai3" and "Tau" (boat) that I was talking about. Awesome. Let see if I can contribute to this thread. But before I do that, I am gonna hijack some of these for background if you don't mind

Thanks Thy!!!




I think we can make an exception in this case
The artwork display is like music. The flow cannot be interrupted otherwise the rhythm will break into an undesirable effect.

Hi lthv22! oh, go ahead! I'm glad you like them.

Oh, they're the same ones you mentioned? aw, I'm sorry.. but I would have loved to see it anyway..

Btw, if anyone's wondering, I found the line drawings here: You just have to search through all the links (most are under the poems section).

Thank you, WhoAmI. Thanks, Chosenone22. You're all very welcome. I'm happy to be able to share with you, and glad that you like them.


Oh, yes! I see the links at your website. Wow, Johann, your website is wonderful; it's a very useful directory, for info on almost anything related to Vietnam!
So, if we want to learn more about Vietnam, but don't know exactly how or where to search for it, Johann's website is the place to be!! (Click on Johannjs' signature and see!!)

There are so many beautiful artworks at one of the links under "[ARTISTS]":
Viet Art

It's a nice tour through each gallery, and we can see which styles of art are pleasing to us. These are some that I like.. Post up yours?

Le Chuon
His paintings are of the every-day life activities of people (mostly kids) in the countryside. I find them amusing, happy, and peaceful. ^_^

I really like Le Chuon's, Huynh Phu Nhieu's and the black and white's one... and the really simple ones.

đang cột tóc

these two pictures are beautiful

Wow, the above looks almost just like a photograph.

oh damn - tranquilsea you got awesome pics

same with ngo.ngochy, ditim, and Johannjs

ill share my typical infactuation with ao dais

im stupid so i forgot where i found these on the net - the originals pics on the site were larger, but i dont have much bandwidth to pass around - so i made them smaller



and heres a scan from a calendar i picked up in VN 2 years ago

Thanks, vn1234. =) And thanks for contributing your pics. They're very nice and cute. It's ok, they're good enough size. and I'm sure many of us adore ao dai's as much as you do too. =) Wow, the calendar is from Vietnam.. that's pretty cool.

ditim- wow, your picture of the two girls in ao tu than (sorry, is that what they're called?) is so beautiful.. I wonder if it is really a painting, since it looks so real. Thanks for sharing.



hehe, sorry, Hy, but I find your guess funny. but could be true though. ^.^

Do you know, Johann? It seems like she has a basket of flowers on the grass next to her. At first, I thought she might be undoing her hair, getting ready to take an evening bath by the lake.. but then what anh Long says also makes sense. She seems to be tieing her hair; perhaps, getting ready to wash her face? ^.^
...

Ok, how about some more artworks?

Le Chuon


Fishing Serenity


Floating Houses


Crickets Game


Rowing on the River


Le Cong Thua


After School


The Autumn of Sai Gon


Friendship

Is this a painting ?

I try to view the picture and zoomed in but still couldn't tell :-(


I guess she's gonna make a coiffure from the collected flowers to put on her hair *shrug*

I really want to buy this one, but it's from $500-1000

^Nero874- The painting's great. Wow, it's pretty expensive. Maybe in the future you can, or try asking your parents to. I think they might like it as well. It looks like a scenery in Vietnam, would you happen to know where specifically? Vinh Ha Long perhaps?
Thanks. =)

And aren't these lovely? Aó Tứ Thân is very duyên dáng. =)



Tố Nữ- Beautiful Girl. (One set- 4 pieces)
PHAM QUYNH GIAO

Lady playing flute; holding fan; trống cơm (rice- drum); đàn Tính Tâu

This scenery is definitely Vịnh Hạ Long.
This looks like a water painting.
Does this painting sell here in the States?

lthv22- Yes, if you go to the website, they have an "Express Delivery Worldwide" form (to the right side) for us to fill out.

Go here:

And by the way, found out the name of the painting is indeed Ha Long, and it's by the artist VU TRUONG THINH.

Hi everyone

I think I am kinda late to post for this topic.

I am Huynh Phu Nhieu's daughter. He put all his heart into his painting and .... each of them takes him at least 1 month ... because every painting is like his child .... And he respect his customers ...

If any of you want to buy any painting from him.

Feel free to contact me at wendy_huynh@nakasebros.com

All the best and sweetest to you

Wendy

PS: He is expert in drawing people, esp women .... the lastest painting of him is really awesome ... I will post them soon ..... It looks sexy but it still looks nice and "high-class".

Very nice artwork
