On 1st April 2022, there will be a Vietnamese artworks auction at Asium. Highlights include 3 works in pastel by Tran Dong Luong. The works move us a lot with just one glimpse.
It can be said that the images of young women in Tran Dong Luong’s works are always unique, a visual language that took the perfection of beauty as the subject, on a background of skillful technique.
“Painting of Tran Dong Luong, in many ways, is Western academic painting with French characteristics, following a tradition linking classical Raphael – Italy, through Poussin, Ingres, Daumier, Renoir, Degas – France , of which Balthus may be the most recent representative”. (According to art critic Quang Viet)
There are many opinions that, paintings are always beautiful, just “pretty girls” like that are “cheesy” with no artistic creation at all. Practical art must be fierce, new in style, reflecting the painful and thorny issues of the times; must reflect the reality of what is bigger and deeper.
But we all know, art is a multi-faced reflection, depicting different images in real life. Each art theme has its own audience. Concepts of art can change over time, due to history.
And with “mellow, dreamy, romantic, loving, feminine beauty” like these, there are sure to be favorites, maybe a lot.
With a set of 3 extremely beautiful works and a starting price of “cannot be lower”, from 3-4k eur to seduce buyers, Asium has firmly grasped the victory because “buyers from Vietnam” love works like this so much. There will definitely be a lot of people bidding.
As viewers like us, works of homeland are the best. Who knows, someday, we could have the chance to admire them with our own eyes…
