About the Item

A fine abstract expressionist floral still life oil painting by Vietnamese artist Jean Volang (1921-2005). Volang was born in Hue, Vietnam and received his initial training at the Ecole Francaise des Beaux Arts in Hanoi, where he was awarded the Prix du Salon Unique d’Indochine in 1943. In 1946, he became a political prisoner of the first Ho Chi Minh regime, but escaped to Hong Kong where for three years he continued his work and study. Volang was the former Ambassador at Large during the Diem regime. In 1949, he relocated to Paris, France, where he continued to develop his artistic career. He was a distinguished painter, whose work bridged Vietnamese and French artistic traditions. His work was featured in exhibitions in Massachusetts, Washington, DC, and Ohio, and internationally in Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo, Rome, and Nice, among others. Oil on burlap canvas, signed lower left, inscribed Fleurs on verso, unframed. Dimensions: 25 5/8” H x 19 ¾” W, actual. Provenance: A gift from the artist to a family he stayed with in Boston.
