[2 mins]​

My uncle is an art collector and a real connoisseur of arts so last year I had a once in a lifetime chance to follow him to a private viewing of a famous Vietnamese realism artist exhibition. Among the collection was an oil painting called "Father and daughter" that left a profound impression on me until now.

​

The exhibition was in the Old Quarter and offer a heart-warming portrayal of family relationships during the Vietnam Subsidy period. As I walked in full of curiosity, the first painting that caught my attention was hung in the center of the room. It portrayed a poor father fetching some meat to his little daughter's rice bowl while he has barely anything for himself. I can see how hard life was back then through his tired look, bony fingers and their old, torn clothes.

The painting was coated in plain, dark colors but the touching fatherhood it conveyed shone brightly. It immediately touched my emotions because my father has also sacrificed a lot to give me a fulfilling childhood. I believe that to original art viewers, sometimes a valuable work of art is not judged by its price, techniques or colors, but by the emotional experience it gives to them.
