(Cinet)- More than 100 propaganda paintings used during the 1946-1954 resistance war against French forces to boost the morale and will of Vietnamese people and soldiers are being showcased at the Vietnam National Museum of History.
The event is part of activities tocelebrate the 60th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory. On May 06, in 25 Ton Dan, Ha Noi, the Vietnam National Museum of History opened a thematic exhibition entitled “anti-French war propaganda paintings (1946-1954)”.
It aims to introduce to the public the publicity campaigns that contributed to the country’s triumph in the resistance war, the peak of which came with the Dien Bien Phu victory in May 1954.
The posters, mostly by unknown painters, were considered as tools to raise awareness of the Party and State policies guiding all members of society. Several of the tools used to print these posters are on display.
Due to the poor conditions during wartime, the artists had to work with simple and modest tools and papers of poor quality. However, they still made lively, colourful artworks to inspire the people’s patriotism, calling them to fight against the invaders and increase production to serve the revolution.
These propaganda paintings were created to praise the close-knit relationship between the soldiers and the people; commemorate the anniversaries; mark special occasions; call the people to fight and work; and honour major personalities.
The exhibition is scheduled to last until the end of July.
