Le Minh, a Vietnamese painter born in 1937, is renowned for his evocative depictions of rural and urban life in Vietnam during the 1960s and 1970s. His works often capture the essence of Vietnamese village scenes, characterized by stilt houses, winding waterways, and daily life along the riverbanks. One notable example is his painting titled Village on a River in Saigon, which portrays a serene riverside village with traditional stilt houses connected by wooden bridges, enveloped in lush greenery. This piece exemplifies Le Minh’s ability to convey the tranquility and simplicity of rural Vietnamese life. Le Minh’s artworks have been featured in various exhibitions and auctions, reflecting their enduring appeal.
