Icon Leather Large Tote Bag Size : 16"W x 11"H x 3 3/4"D Artist : Hong-Oai Don (China Vietnam Artist)
This is a great bag to carry everything. One of the largest bags by Icon, it has double leather wrapped handles with a 9” drop. Only one side has the art framed by coordinating leather.
Artist : Hong-Oai Don Born in Canton, China in the late 1920s, Don Hong-Oai spent most of his life in Saigon, Vietnam where he was apprenticed as a young boy and by his teen years he was an accomplished photographer.
His photographs are made in a unique style of photography which can be considered Asian pictorialism, a method of adapting a Western art for Eastern purposes. Using traditional motifs of Chinese painting, photographers of this school used more than one negative to "create" a beautiful picture. Realism was not a goal.
Don remained in Vietnam through the war, fleeing by boat to California in 1979, where his work became widely collected. He passed away in 2004. |
