Book Synopsis
Engages with twentieth-century Vietnam through its artists and their works. This book surveys the impact that artists have had on intellectual life in Vietnam.

Trade Review
Painters in Hanoi adds important perspectives to the growing body of literature on contemporary Southeast Asian art, as it also illuminates the highly specific political, economic, and social conditions that shape but do not determine that art. Taylor's deeply satisfying work further erodes unitary notions of an artistic modernity and the authority of Euro-American paradigms of art history and art making to explain art production throughout the world. She convincingly demonstrates that artistic identity never remains stable but is always asserted, tested, defined, and redefined in local and now global social worlds. - Journal of Asian Studies
