The Horse At Codogallery The horse has always been one of the most powerful symbols for all humankind both in folk myth and reality. In Asian fine arts and literature, the horse has been a particularly important motif. The horse has three of the best aspects of any beast: beauty, intelligence, and is friendly with humans, as well as being supple, strong, and graceful. "In Vietnam, the horse is of heroic proportions as seen in the style of King Nguyen Hue when he entered Thang Long on the 5th day of the Lunar New Year", as the critic Nguyen Quan has pointed out. "The horse is also seen as the valiant male fighter and hero Tu Hai. But the horse is also seen as a romantic dream, traveling 'half-sober and half-drunk' like a person in love".
As such it is clear that for artists it has been one of the most important subjects, representing as it does everything from raw power to God-like status.

| Paper Painting Among the Vietnamese plastic arts, wood engraving is a long standing traditional one. We have inherited from our ancients from Dong Ho village a valuable tradition of wood engraving in colour. These engravings are appreciated by generation to generation and have become an indispensable moral alimentation. Dong Ho images have their place deep in the soul of the people and their features have kept their sharpness in spite of the upheavals of the times.
| History Of Lacquer History has yet to reveal just how long Asia has been defining and redefining the technique in which lacquer and its byproducts are produced. Popularised during the dynasty periods of India and China, and later perfected by the early empires of Korea and Japan, lacquer ware can perhaps be considered Asia’s most significant contribution to the world in fine art. In fact, each of the Asian countries has contributed in some way to developing and modernising the technique and popularity of crafting lacquer ware, and today most countries around the world have made their own attempt to reproduce the ancient art.
