Massive and Powerful, the “Hanoi Posters” from wartime Vietnam are exhibited for the first time together. The newly curated show of Vietnamese posters from the Albert I. Goodman Collection reveal, visually, the client-state relationship to both China and Russia. This exhibit, which also features a broad representation of war and post-war paintings, gives the viewer a truly unique perspective into the Vietnamese culture of the period.
