The
exhibition, co-organised by the Viet Nam Association for Photographic
Artists (VAPA) and the Vietnam News Agency (VNA), is timed to celebrate
the 80th anniversary of the Viet Nam Women's Union.
Through
the exhibition, Tho wants to present portraits of talented Vietnamese
women, from senior leaders like former Vice President Nguyen Thi Binh
and Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan,
to Vietnamese heroic mothers, heroes of the people's armed forces,
scientists, teachers, businesswomen, artists and workers.
"Although
the photos are not enough to cover all Vietnamese women in different
walks of life, they reflect the typical characteristics of Vietnamese
women: faithful, brave, undaunted, responsible and talented," said VAPA
director Vu Quoc Khanh.
Speaking
at a press briefing introducing the exhibition, Tho said that the
portraits reflected the traditional beauty of Vietnamese women.
Tho,
77, is a former VNA photojournalist who has devoted much of his life to
the arts, successfully held eight individual exhibitions and published
four photo collections.
"Despite
old age, I still keep my love of photography as I did when I was
young," he said. "I don't feel satisfied with all photos I take but I'm
always careful and take pains with all of them."
The photographer says he is grateful for women who bring him inspiration in art.
A
book of his photos entitled Vietnamese Women's Beauty is being
published at the same time as the exhibition, which closes tomorrow. —
