“New rice season of homeland” by painter Trần Đình Thọ was created in 1972. According to political experts, 1972 was the most fierce historical moment in the Vietnam War; especially the US air strike against North Vietnam. According to the estimates of both sides, the damage numbers are very huge…
Thus, the battlefield is boiling fiercely, but why did this painting describe such a peaceful northern rural scene? In fact, if only looking at the content, the human details, the scene shown on the surface of the painting, the above opinion is reasonable. But, this is the work of painter Trần Đình Thọ. A person who experienced many roles in fine arts management. At that time, he held many important positions in Vietnam fine arts. From a political perspective, he must be someone who was deeply imbued with the Party’s policies. Therefore, his works are not only about nature, landscapes, and people but in terms of the creative state must be at a much higher level of thinking.
