Albert I. Goodman Collection of Vietnamese Art

@ The John David Mooney Foundation

114 W Kinzie St, Chicago, IL 60654

Opening Thursday, April 6th, from 5PM - 7PM

This exhibition of 53 paintings and drawings by modern Vietnamese Artists is greatly expanded from the first exhibition of the Goodman collection held at the JDMF in November and December of 2016. In this new exhibit, a special focus is being placed on the paintings of Bùi Xuân Phái. Phái’s works are presented as a show within a show. Both the Vietnam War and Post-War periods are represented in this collection which was originally acquired in Vietnam by Bruce Blowitz, a close friend of Albert Goodman. These paintings reveal the reality of life in Vietnam at a time in which the artists had no access to international art movements, modern technology, or even standard art materials and supplies.
