A baby embracing a chicken [honours and splendor] 8. A baby embracing a duck [wealth and nobles] 9. A group of pigs 10. Hen and chicks 11. The toad as a Confucian teacher 12. A child playing the flute on a water buffalo's back. * Below are a general comments taken from: Dr. Chu Quang Tru's essay in TRAN CO VIET NAM: ANCIENT & TRADITIONAL PAINTINGS OF VIETNAM [some call them paintings or woodcuts], pp.11-14, and color plates #'s 1-20 which cover some of these exact folk prints [paintings]. His general comments about Dong Ho paintings: . "Folk-paintings [woodcuts] are produced throughout the country. Based on artistic styles, printing techniques, and materials used, these are classified into artistic currents bearing the name of the localities producing them. Dong Ho is North of Hanoi, in the delta region. They are done using Poonah paper, which is covered by the artist using a substance extracted from oyster shell which reveals supple parallel lines. The background paper also radiates a silvery light and some show a red hue. Colors are derived from natural sources: red from liquid extracted from the Sophora Japonica flower; orange and yellow from the Sapppan-wood; white from oyster shell; black from charred bamboo leaves; blue from indigo leaves; and combinations of these colors give hues. These talismans many of which are done in red are used to exorcise evil spirits and preventing inauspicious elements." The rooster scares away ghosts & devils. * The work is superbly done, and nicely executed with the utmost care and attention to all details, superb example of traditional materials producing a stunning hand-made folk art example. * Historical background: They come from the Thuan Thanh district, Ha Bac province, and are the oldest from the XIth century and has the most important role among other groups of folk paintings or woodcuts. Passed from generation to generation for more than 1000 years, these are actually used annually by most Vietnamese during the celebration of Tet, the Lunar New Year. The subjects imply New Year's best wishes and also reflect on the ancient peasant times, the old symbols of wealth and peaceful life: i.e. pigs, chickens, plump children. Moral attitudes based in Confucianism: a just and decent society, harmony, rejecting bad manners and evil, and appreciating good deeds of national heroes. These are original expressions found in the basic character of the Vietnamese people as a whole. They are the rules of society and a reflection of their gentle nature and national character. * CONDITION: These are new, unused, in their original woodblock printed folding portfolio. Suitable for framing and display. . *** REFERENCES: TURNER, Caroline. ed.: TRADITION & CHANGE: Contemporary Art Of Asia & The Pacific. Essay byNguyen Quan, p.107. ***.
