EXPOSITION
Salon de la SADEAI, Hanoï, 1936
Nguyen Van Tho, plus connu sous son nom d'artiste Nam Son, naît à Hanoï en 1890 et étudie au lycée du protectorat, où il est initié à l'art occidental. Attiré par le dessin, il collabore à l'illustration de nombreux manuels, journaux et revues.
Ses prédispositions lui permettent de rencontrer Victor
Tardieu, lauréat du prix de l'Indochine de 1920, qui devient son mentor. Aux côtés de son maître, l'artiste vietnamien s'exerce avec brio à la peinture à l'huile et expose ses premières toiles dès 1923.
Ensemble, disciple et enseignant fondent, en 1924, l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Hanoï, où sont pareillement enseignées les techniques artistiques occidentales et asiatiques, telles que la peinture sur soie ou la laque. Véritable vivier de talents, l'établissement donnera par la suite naissance aux plus grand noms de la peinture vietnamienne, à l'image de Le Pho, Mai Thu ou encore Vu Cao Dam.
Cette encre et couleurs sur soie met en scène trois personnages à la récolte de banane, scène de la vie quotidienne du Vietnam de l'époque. Si le sujet atteste d'un héritage typiquement asiatique, la composition en plusieurs plans successifs révèle quant à elle une inventivité éminemment moderne, tirée des enseignements occidentaux.
Nguyen Van Tho, better known as Nam Son, was born in Hanoi in 1890 and went to the High School of the Protectorate, where he was introduced to Western art. Attracted by drawing, he contributed to the illustration of numerous manuals, newspapers, and magazines.
His predispositions allowed him to meet Victor Tardieu, winner of the Indochina Prize of 1920, who became his mentor.
Alongside his master, the Vietnamese artist brilliantly painted in oil and exhibited his first paintings in 1923. In 1924, the pupil and teacher together founded the Hanoi School of Fine Arts where both Western and Asian techniques, such as silk painting and lacquer, were taught. A veritable talent pool, the establishment later produced the biggest names in Vietnamese painting, including Le Pho, Mai Thu, and Vu Cao Dam.
This work in ink and colors on silk depicts three figures at a banana harvest, a scene of daily life in Vietnam at the time. While the subject demonstrates typically Asian heritage, the work's composition in several successive picture planes reveals eminently modern inventivity coming from
Western teachings.
Du 03/12 au 31/12/1936, la Société Annamite d’Encouragement à l’Art et à l’Industrie (SADEAI) ouvre ses portes à Hanoi au « Salon
1936 », 12 rue Borgnis-Desbordes (garage Bainier, rue Tràng Thi), avec le triomphe de la peinture sur soie et de la laque. Un témoignage intéressant sur la situation de l’École des Beaux-Arts de l’Indochine nous est donné par Pierre Gourou 1 :
« Victor Tardieu organisa un Salon annuel, qui était un événement de la vie hanoïenne ; il sut créer un vif mouvement d’intérêt autour de ses élèves, il sut les orienter vers les arts décoratifs et, par conséquent, leur assurer des possibilités nouvelles d’intérêt et des ressources supplémentaires. »
(« Les Beaux-Arts en Indochine »,
revue France-Illustration, No190, 1949, numéro spécial sur l’Indochine).
Nam Sơn y expose ses 4 peintures sur soie, parmi lesquelles Paysannes du Tonkin, 65 x 50 cm.
Dans les «archives Nam Sơn» conservées par sa famille, nous avons trouvé des photos de cette toile avec la légende « Nguyễn Nam Sơn - Paysannes du Tonkin – Soie – Salon de la SADEAI 1936 »
Cette peinture sur soie est dominée par la couleur vert-turquoise, tendre mais variée et fraiche, représentant trois paysannes tonkinoises.
La première, la plus jeune, porte sur son épaule un régime de bananes suspendu au bout de sa palanche. On devine sur l’autre bout, caché
derrière son dos, une autre charge pour équilibrer sa démarche. Elle est belle, ses longs cheveux s’enroulent dans une bande de tissu noir, telle une couronne autour de la tête. Elle porte une chemise couleur blanc cassé qui a la forme de la tunique à quatre pans mais courte et boutonnée. Cette chemise a une encolure largement échancrée, s’ouvrant au niveau de la poitrine sur le cache-seins couleur corail pour atténuer la profondeur du décolleté. Un large pantalon noir est tenu par une bandelette de couleur bleue qui lui sert en même temps de ceinture et de «porte bourse». Autour du cou pend

# An appointment is required to see the piece
~ This lot contains animal materials. Import restrictions are to be expected
and must be considered.
The legislator imposes strict rules for the commercial use of inert animal species.
The international regulations of March 3, 1973 (CITES) requires for different
annexes a correlation between the specimen and the documentation proving
the origins to be lawful. This regulation transcribed in European Community law
(Annexes A/B/C) in Rule 338/97 of 9/12/1996 permits commercial use of regulated
specimens (CITES) upon presentation of documentation proving lawful origin;
these documents for this variation are as follows:
• For Annex A : C/C provided outlining the specimen’s history (for specimens of
recent date)
• For Annex B : Bird specimens are either banded or equipped with transponders,
and are accompanied by documents of licit origin. The auction’s sale record must
be conserved as it contains the complete history of every specimen.
All cases concerning specimens of recent date that are protected under the French
Environmental Code and which were born and raised in captivity are permitted by
the derogation clause AM of 14/07/2006. As such, they can be used commercially
provided traceability between the specimen and the documentation proving licit
origins. Other specimen cases dating prior to clause AM of 21/07/2015 can, due
to this fact, be used commercially. Specimens dating before 1947 included in this
auction sale benefit from clause 2M of the derogatory Rule 228/97 of 9/12/1996,
permitting their use for trade. However, exporting them outside of the EU them
requires a pre-CITES Convention agreement.
For huntable species of the European continent and elsewhere, commercial use
is allowed under certain conditions. Domesticated species (D) included in this
auction sale are free for trade. Old specimens from before the Convention (i.e.
before 1975) comply with the conditions of the AM of 23/12/2011 and, as such,
are free for trade.
The other specimens in this auction sale are not subject to NR regulations and
are free for commercial use and trade. The auction record will substantiate their
licit origin.
To leave the EU, with regards to the Annexes I/A, II/B et III/C, a CITES re-export
document at the expense of the acquirer will be necessary.
