TU DUYEN (1915-2012). École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine, class of 1942. The Separation of Kim Trong and Kieu. Framed silk print signed with the artist's stamp upper right preceded by a verse from Kieu's Tale "Thương Nhau Xin Nhớ Lời Nhau" translating to: "Love one another and remember this: The year of separation will pass. A toast to today, A toast in anticipation of this same day next year! He mounts his horse, she lets go of the fold of her dress, Autumn leaves color the mountains and borders. Miles of red landscape dust the saddle, As she watches him disappear behind a thousand mulberry trees. She's alone in the long shadow of solitude, While he travels alone for eternity".
