An exhibition, featuring works by three generations of artists—from senior masters to mid-career and emerging painters— of the Lijiang Painting School and by painters from the Viet Nam Fine Arts Association, officially opened at the Viet Nam Exhibition Centre for Culture and Arts in Ha Noi on June 28.

The nation’s historical journey in its struggle for independence, freedom, and reunification has been being vividly reimagined through the eyes of today’s younger generation by the art of lacquer painting.
