The average American politician would lose at checkers to a zoo gorilla. They’re usually in office for one reason: someone with money sent them there, often to vote yes on a key appropriation bill or two. On the other 364 days of the year, their job is to shut their yaps and approximate gravitas anytime they’re in range of C-SPAN cameras.

A Vietnamese woman reading to her daughter. Alix Aymé (French, 1894-1989). Lacquer heightened with gold on panel.

Aymé and her second husband—General Georges Aymé, who later became the Commander of the French Forces in Indochina, returned to Hanoi and Aymé began teaching lacquer at the Vietnam University of Fine Arts. Fletcher says, “Aymé learned lacquer in the 1920s from a Japanese master. It is an ancient art and, at the time, it was dying out and the techniques were not being passed on to the next generation. Alix not only taught her students how to use lacquer, but how to paint with it, creating art that transcended the merely decorative.”
