Paris – Hanoi – Saigon: adventure of modern art in Vietnam (part1)

THE ECOLE DES BEAUX-ARTS IN HANOI

Opera House early twentieth century, Trang Tien, Hanoi @Paul Bert

Apart from the works of a few rare painters Vietnamese trained in Paris, the modern painting was born in the Viet Nam with the creation of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Hanoi in 1925.

Many French painters including Victor Tardieu landed in Indochina at the end of the 19th century, for exoticism. They are generally missionnés by the Government, through art, who sees a way to knowing the distant Indochina from the French of metropolis, and to import French culture in Vietnam.

In the year 1910, the Government systematizes the coming of the French painters in the colony, by the establishment of the Indo-China price that offers a travel grant recipients. Thus, when the school of fine arts of Indochina opens its doors in 1925, the Victor Tardieu (price Indochina 1920) painter is also Director until his death in 1937.

In the Organization of courses, the school of fine arts of Indochina is globally superior rearrangement of the Ecole nationale des beaux-arts in Paris. Theoretically, this school must try to reconcile Vietnamese traditions with a Western approach to art.
