Catalogue of Bui Xuan Phai's exhibition at Thavibu Gallery, Bangkok in 2006, featuring works produced in the period 1950-1988. 'Bui Xuan Phai is often considered the most well known, and influential of Vietnamese artists in the second half of the 20th century. The works in the catalogue hail form the private collection of Van Duong Thanh, an artistic soul mate and a respected and accomplished artist in her own right. These are mostly works on paper - drawings and paintings on a variety of paper media, even newspaper and pages torn out of books, as paper was hard to come by at times. Most of the works are portraits. Many of them are of his friends in Hanoi. They are intimate representations by a master who captured the essence of his models' personalities with exquisite precision.' - extracted from foreword by Jorn Middelborg.
