Beginning as a poster painter, working in charcoal on dried banana leaf, Tran Huu Chat quickly advanced to painting, printing and lithography. In 1956, he studied at the re-opened Hanoi Academy of Fine Art under Hoang Tich Chu and attained fame as an illustrator of children’s books. He was awarded a scholarship for postgraduate study in China (ceramics) and France (museum restoration). During the American War, he was sent to the mountain highlands to depict the armed struggle; his art has since focused on the ethnic tribes whom he portrays in carved lacquer paintings (sơn khắc). Eight of his paintings are in the Vietnam National Fine Arts Museum in Hanoi.
