NGUYEN TU NGHIEM (1922-2016)Coq gouache sur papier 15 x 19.5 cm (5 7/8 x 7 5/8 in.)FootnotesNGUYEN TU NGHIEM (1922-2016) Rooster gouache on paper Provenance French private collection, acquired from Gallery 44 Hang Ga, Hanoi in 1994 Born in Nghe An in North-Central Vietnam, Nguyen Tu Nghiem entered the École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine (EBAI) in 1941 and specialised in both lacquer and gouache paintings. Hailed as one of the four great masters of Vietnamese modern art, he shares this distinction with fellow artists Bui Xuan Phai, Nguyen Sang, and Duong Bich Lien. These four artists, individually and collectively, had a great impact on the development of new artistic languages in the era of Doi Moi—the 1986 economic renewal campaign in Vietnam. During Nguyen Tu Nghiem's artistic career, he created a unique style fusing folk art tradition and modernist art trend. He gained wider recognition during the 1980s for his role as the first Vietnamese modern artist to explore the formal qualities of local motifs while remaining true to the aesthetics of modern art. Known for his lively paintings portraying the immortal god Thanh Giong and Vietnamese zodiac signs, Nguyen Tu Nghiem was awarded the Ho Chi Minh Prize in Literature and Arts in 1996.
