Ngwe Gaing (1901 - 1967)
U Ngwe Gaing's paintings were noted for the meticulous attention to detail, but he was also a prolific and versatile painter working in both oil and water-colour. He excelled in his choice of “poster subjects and settings” according to U Min Naing another noteworthy name in the world of art.
U Ngwe Gaing started his career from the bottom and and was obliged to work at many jobs and led a checkered life until he made his mark as a leading artist. His first teacher was U Pho Aung but later became a pupil of the famous artist U Ba Nyan. U Ngwe Gaing was an honest and diligent person who had not a shred of pride and was content with his lot.

World (Social) Realist Art (Index of Countries)
This blog page is part of an ongoing project by artist and part-time lecturer Caoimhghin Ó Croidheáin (http://gaelart.net/) to explore Realist / Social Realist art from around the world. The term Realism is used in its broadest sense to include 19th century Realism and Naturalism as well as 20th century Impressionism (which after all was following in the path of Courbet and Millet). Social Realism covers art that seeks to examine the living and working conditions of ordinary people (examples include German Expressionism, American Ashcan School and the Mexican Muralists).
