Đào Sĩ Chu

Finishing his secondary classes in Lycée Albert-Sarraut, his family sent him to study pharmacy at the University of Toulouse, France and at that time, painting was only his hobby.

[9] His typical oil painting of Thủ Đức landscape was printed on March page in the Calendar 1959 of the United States of Information Service (USIS).

[11] In the late 1990s, two exhibitions were organized by two private galleries of Trương Văn Ý and Bùi Quốc Chí of Đức Minh VN Collection for famous painters of Việt Nam, including some of Đào Sĩ Chu's paintings.

Except his four songs in 2 disks PA 2854 (S) and PA 2856 (S) which are Gió Thu (Autumn Breeze), Cố Hương (Nostalgia of the Native Land), Phụ Nữ Viêt Nam (Vietnamese Women) and Trong Sương (In the Mist), could be listened to online:[20][21][22][23] Among the above writing music pieces, during the First Republic of Viet Nam, the Phụ Nữ was an official march for the celebration of Trưng Sisters' Day and Vietnamese Women Day in 1957 and The Hoàng Hôn was played by the Little Orchestra of New York in the Saigon Botanic garden in spring 1959.

Although the long-lasting Vietnam War could involve him in some influences [24] and in spite of some critics and accusations, Đào Sĩ Chu is a true artist until his last days.
