Relive historical moments through the exhibition "The Road to Dien Bien"

NDO - During the fierce fighting period of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign, many artists and painters directly went to the front, joining the troops. With rich and colorful visual language, they realistically and vividly portrayed the image of our army and people from the days of "tasting honey and lying on thorns" to the moment of winning the victory "famous in five continents, shaking the earth".

Towards the 70th Anniversary of Dien Bien Phu Victory (May 7, 1954 - May 7, 2024), the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts will organize a painting exhibition with the theme "The Road to Dien Bien" from April 26 to May 15. The exhibition introduces 70 paintings, graphics, sculptures, sketches and posters about Dien Bien by 34 authors, created from 1949-2009. Using traditional display methods, applying cinemagraph technology between interactive and experiential spaces, the exhibition brings viewers back to the historical moments of the Dien Bien Phu battlefield in the past. The fighting life of Dien Bien soldiers is clearly recreated through the exhibition. Many works deeply depict heroic and glorious battles on the battlefield such as: "Attack on the center of Dien Bien Phu" by Nguyen The Vi, "Dien Bien that year" by Cao Trong Thiem... The work of pulling artillery into the battlefield to prepare for the campaign is especially shown through the works "To Vinh Dien inserting artillery", "Pulling artillery" by Duong Huong Minh and "Pulling artillery in Dien Bien" by Tran Dinh Tho.

The support of tens of thousands of laborers is described in the works “Viet Bac” by Dao Duc, “Tiến nhau đi dân công” by Luu Van Sin, “Cà nước đi chiến” by Luu Danh Thanh. The close bond between the army and the people, supporting each other during wartime, is also described in “Tinh quan dan” by Nguyen Sang and “Duong len Dien Bien” by Tran Khanh Chuong. The series of sketches of the Dien Bien Phu battlefield that artist To Ngoc Van made before his death is the highlight of this exhibition. Many works have images of President Ho Chi Minh , General Vo Nguyen Giap, soldiers and people participating in the resistance war, united in their hearts towards Dien Bien.

Besides, the paintings “Admitting to the Party in Dien Bien Phu” by Nguyen Sang, “Be Van Dan using his body as a gun mount” by Le Vinh… are all classic works expressing the heroic spirit in combat.

The exhibition “The Road to Dien Bien” not only shows respect and pride in the golden pages of the nation’s history, arouses passionate patriotism and the spirit of great solidarity of the entire people and army, but also shows deep gratitude to the generation of heroes and martyrs who participated in the resistance war in the Dien Bien Phu campaign.

The exhibition is a tribute from the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum to the painters and sculptors. Their creativity will bring the public a heroic and emotional atmosphere through “The Road to Dien Bien”. Discussions on the topics “The Road to Dien Bien” and “Memories of painter and martyr To Ngoc Van” will also take place within the framework of the program.
