Continuing on my series of oil paintings on significant events or people in modern history.
From the left, painting #7 shows China's Mao Zedong at Beijing in 1949 declaring the birth of the People Republic of China.
Painting #8 at the centre shows the contrasting figures of Earl Mountbatten representing the British crown and Mahatma Gandhi of India at their final talk in London on the forthcoming independence of India in 1947.
On the right, painting #9 shows a scene at the 1975 'Fall of Saigon'. This was the traumatic attempt of many S Vietnam elite to leave Saigon boarding an US helicopter on top of an US embassy building. It depicts the end of the long bloody US Vietnam War.
