Art performance - Vietnam Culture

Send to friendsPrintFont
Vietnamese art has its roots from the kingdom of Champa's and Chinese art. It is best typified by the sculpture associated with architecture, in which lavish ornament is paired with vigorous sensuality. As Champa art declined after the 13th century, China held the Tonkin gulf area as a vassal state until the 10th century when the Vietnamese in 938 seized power from the Tang. Therefore, much of the art owes its influence to Chinese models and neighboring Champa styles. Of particular note are ceramics similar to some provincial Sung Chinese wares.
