When paintings craft artisan as
situated parts villagers and engaged
Recently, we made a trip to revisit Dong Ho Village with a desire to meet
old artisan Nguyen Huu Sam. Just when we arrived at the dyke in the village and
talked with the villagers about the (61) artisan, they intimately told us about him.
The old house owned by the artisan is (62) situated in a long alley of the
village. On the walls of the house there are many folk paintings in different genres,
from daily life paintings to landscape (63) paintings shown in a set of “ four
seasons”.
Mr. Sam told us about his past. (64)When he was three years old, he was
instructed in the craft of making Dong Ho paintings by his father. At five, he could
help his father apply the Dong Ho paintings. At seven, he was able to draw with a
pen (65) and made the most difficult samples. Years went by and the soul of Dong
Ho folk paintings has kept seashell powder paint to the Poonah-paper.
In the 1940s this craft flourished. At that time, Nguyen Huu Sam was
assigned by his parents to take the paintings to the market for sale. Mr. Sam said
that 17 families in the village has been (66) engaged in making Dong Ho
paintings.
Artisan Nguyen Huu Lam has always been devoted to the making of Dong
Ho paintings and has waited for opportunities to restore this traditional (67) craft.
In 1967, when the local authorities assigned him to restore the traditional genre of
Dong Ho folk paintings, he gathered 50 (68) villagers with professional skills and
collected hundreds of woodblocks to establish the Dong Ho Painting Cooperative.
Thanks to his efforts, such famous paintings (69) as “ Rat’s wedding ”, “ Rooster
”,” Scene of jealousy “ and “ Writing verses about precious flowers “ has been
revived. Dong Ho paintings have been available in many (70) parts of the world
such as Japan, France, Germany, Singapore and the United States.
