The portrait presented to the Ho Chi Minh Museum |
The 1.0x0.8m painting was completed in about one and a half month and was presented to the Vietnamese Embassy in France.
The painter stuck pieces of colored magazine paper to form the portrait of President HCM with a broad forehead, bright eyes, and in a faded khaki shirt.
The work has been sent to various exhibitions worldwide.
