Nguyễn Sáng (1923, in Tien Giang Province – 1988, in Ho Chi Minh City) was a Vietnamese painter.[1] He was a graduate of the 1940–1945 class of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine. His favorite medias were pumice lacquer and oil paint.[2] Although not overtly political,[3] Sáng was reluctant and unenthusiastic about the new communist society in his paintings.[4] He was posthumously awarded the Ho Chi Minh Prize in 1996.
