COVER Detail from School Girls III, by Thanh Van. Thanh Van was born in Hanoi and graduated from the Hanoi College of Fine Arts in 1994. Captivated by the impressionist style, he spent most of his time as a student exploring the streets of the old quarter in Hanoi, where many artists have found inspiration. He paints colourful, rich canvases of impressionistic scenes from Hanoi's streets. Thanh Van has participated in several exhibitions in Vietnam, and also in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Permission to use the painting has kindly been granted by Jorn Middelborg, Managing Director of the Thavibu Gallery, which exhibited and sold the painting. Thavibu Gallery: www.thavibu.com Suite 308, 3rd Floor, Silom Galleria Building, 919/1 Silom Road, Bangkok 10500, Thailand This volume has been produced with the institutional and financial support of the UNESCO - International Bureau of Education
