Tô Ngọc Vân
Tô Ngọc Vân (15 December 1906 or 1908 – 17 June 1954), also known as Tô Tử, was a Vietnamese painter. Several of his works hang in the Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts.[1][2] He taught a resistance art class in the northern zone during the war with the French, and died as the result of injuries received at the Battle of Điện Biên Phủ.[3] He was among the first recipients of the Ho Chi Minh Prize in 1996.
He worked as painting teacher in Bưởi school, professor at the École des Beaux-Arts de l’Indochine and principal of the Việt Bắc Art School and has had significant influence on a whole generation of artists in Vietnam.[4]
Vân contributed to the magazines of Tự Lực văn đoàn ("Self-Strengthening literary group") by drawing cartoons on current events, social issues, and everyday live.[5]
The To Ngoc Van (crater) on Mercury was named in his honour.[6]
