1925 - 1945 was considered the beginning period of modern Vietnamese Fine Arts, originating from the establishment of the Indochina College of Fine Arts in Hanoi. The school was co-founded by two well-known artists: one was a painter representing traditional Vietnamese art - Nguyen Nam Son and the other came from France with new mindset and techniques - Victor Tardieu. Many graduated artists after becoming famous continued teaching at school to pass on their passions to the next generations.
