“This fine Vietnamese embroidery captures and communicates texture, depth and richness in a way no other art form can,” says Nguyen Van Huy, director of the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology in Hanoi and curator of “Vietnam: Journeys of Body, Mind and Spirit,” which was at New York’s American Museum of Natural History in 2003. “By partnering with photographers, La Than has developed a unique approach to a historic art form. This innovative blend of past and present represents the state of the art.”
