Art du Vietnam (Art of Vietnam) by Jean-François Hubert and Catherine Noppe officially published in 2002.

Since the foundation of the Au Lac kingdom three centuries ago - famous for their bronze drums and their magnificent artilleries - until the works of the painters from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Indochina, created in Hanoi in 1925, the arts of Vietnam have been marked by its profoundly original cultures and the fusion between Asia and the Occident. The modern Vietnamese civilization has therefore inherited a very rich and multifaceted history.

Long forgotten during the civil unrest of the late 20th century, the Vietnamese arts have remained largely unrecognized. Recent years however have seen art culture begin to blossom again and new discoveries are being made. In this book, the authors have chosen to present these findings from a historical perspective, situating them in the heart of a twice-millennial tradition.

A particular work has been realized on the iconography, associating views of some remarkable landscapes - many in the country that shelters the Ha Long Bay - the negatives of a Vietnamese photographer, scenes of life in the countryside, and pictures of civilian and religious monuments. The art objects have been chosen among the ones preserved not only in Vietnamese museums but also in European museums and private collections.
