Provenance
Private collection, France
Huynh Phuong Dong was born in 1925 in Binh Hoa-Gia Dinh (present-day Ho Chi Minh City). After graduating from the Gia Dinh Fine Arts School in 1945, he joined the army during the First Indochina war (1946-1954). After the Dien Bien Phu Victory in 1954, he continued his studies at the Hanoi Fine Arts College (1957-1963). Participating in the final thirty years of Vietnam's long struggle for independence, he distinguished himself as a combat artist, creating sketches and drawings of battle scenes.
Beside battlefields, he also painted landscapes, such as this temple in Cambodia.
