Harry Abrahms will be coming out with a new art book called "Vietnam: Reflexes and Reflections; The National Vietnam Veterans Art Musuem." It contains the work of about 100 artists, all Vietnam vets and took almost three years in the making. Current known price: $45.00, available at bookstores.
Propaganda Leaflets
Here are two of the Propaganda Leaflets encouraging surrender of NVA and VC forces that were dropped by the tens of thousands by allied aircraft throughout Vietnam during the 1960s and 70s. Exact artistic development information is not currently known. We would appreciate any information others might care to share for posting. These two copies were submitted by Garry Adams, Australia.
Leaflet #2 Translation is forthcoming.
The Arts of War Gallery is divided into two parts. Part I is devoted to Vietnam veterans' art work. These works may or may not be related to war. Part II is a collection of art work done by non-Vietnam veterans. Works in Section II are related to war in some way. Some of these works are modern, as with veteran Tom Maloney, while other works are those of the Classic Masters, such Goya and Picasso. There is even a work done by the Vietnamese artist, Choe.
In each section when you click on an artist's name, you will be taken to that artist's page. On the individual artist's page will be thumbnails of all his or her works. These thumbnails are hyper-links, meaning that by clicking on them, you will be able to see the work in a much larger format. These thumbnails will take some time to "load." But, they are definitely worth the wait. It is therefore recommended that you start with the first work, then go to the bottom of the page, and click on "Next." By doing so, you will be taken to the artist's next work, thereby avoiding the wait for one or more of the "thumbnails" to load.
Bookmark this page, and come back often to view the changes and additions. Your comments to the artists would be much appreciated. Enjoy your visit.
