LAI LEAUX, THÙ DÂU MÔT, VIETNAM, mid-20th century - Lot 35
LAI LEAUX, THÙ DÂU MÔT, VIETNAM, mid-20th century Large polychrome lacquer panel in shades of green and brown, illustrating the harvesting of sap from lacquer trees (Toxicodendron vernicifluum) in a sunny undergrowth. Signed lower left "Lai-Leaux, laque-sculpture, Thudaumot" and the name in Chinese characters "Liêm-Lai". This painting comes from the village of Tuong Binh Hiêp in Thù Dâu Môt, some thirty kilometers north of the former Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), a village renowned for its lacquer craftsmanship, particularly between 1945 and 1975. Vietnam, circa 1950 Size: 90 x 170 cm Provenance: by descent from a French family who lived in Indochina around 1940-1950. Note: The early 20th century saw the creation by the French in Indochina of three schools of applied arts, Thù Dâu Môt (1901), Biên Hoà (1903), Gia Dinh (1913), all three located on the outskirts of Saigon. The aim of these schools was to train Vietnamese craftsmen, helping them to revive local traditions that had been enhanced by Western techniques. Each had its own specificity, with Thù Dâu Môt specializing in woodworking and cabinetmaking, including carving and lacquering. Students received a six-year training course, after which they could either set up their own workshop or join one, often in the region, where a number of workshops flourished. It's safe to assume that our panel was born in this context. Expert : Cabinet Ansas, Papillon et de Léry.
