The exhibition carries special significance, as it not only celebrates the Indochina Fine Arts Period (1925–1945) but also coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Indochina College of Fine Arts’ founding. The event further commemorates the 71st anniversary of the Liberation of the Capital, a defining moment that affirms the resilience of culture and art in Hanoi’s millennia-old journey of civilisation.
Alongside works by artists who trained at the Indochina College of Fine Arts, the exhibition extends its scope to include the Resistance Course (1950–1954) and later generations from the Vietnam College of Fine Arts. Together, they offer the public a rich and panoramic view of modern Vietnamese art.
