ATTR TO MAI THU VIETNAMESE GOUACHE PAINTING ON SILK
Attributed to Mai Trung Thu, Vietnamese, French, 1906 to 1980, ink and gouache painting on silk depicting an interior scene with a sewing lady and a child, 1942. Signed in Cyrillic, dated and stamped, to the center left. Mai Trung Thu is known for Figure, portrait, still life, genre painting. Despite having lived in France for the majority of his life, Mai Thu retained a strong sense of patriotism and devotion to the mores from his homeland, finding delight in incorporating Vietnamese subject matter to his art. This artist embodies a generation of progressive Vietnamese artists that emerged during the 1930s, including Le Pho and Vu Cao Dam. Seven years after graduating from the Ecole des Beaux Arts de lIndochine in Hanoi, Mai Thu moved to Paris where he began merging the French Salon style with Vietnamese aesthetic traditions. Also a film maker and photographer, Mai Thu exposes his penchant for these fields of art in his ambrosial yet theatrical work. Though he seemingly depicts a simple theme within a single scene, Mai Thu imbues an element of drama to the work through the use of body language and composition, suggesting there is evidently far more to the narrative. One of a kind artwork.
