Biography
Biography
His work is considered as having given new dimensions to traditional thủ ấn họa hand stamp paintings. He submitted some of his prints to Saigon's newspapers and his illustrations began to feature in newspapers from the late 1940s. His paintings drew subjects from literary work such as Truyện Kiều, the Chinh phụ ngâm of the poet Đặng Trần Côn, and popular folklore. He had also drawn Vietnamese kings and other notable historical figures. The Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts currently exhibits his work including nine paintings on canvas and 52 wood carving plaques
