composition. He taught at the State School of Fine Arts until the age of 67. It was here at the State School of Fine Arts, that he left a large impact on the subsequent development of
Burmese painting, passing down the techniques of realist and naturalist painting which he had learned from Ba Nyan. It must be said that his taste in painting was conservative, yet he also steeped Burmese painters in a solid, formal foundation of techniques.

Thein Han is a transitional figure in many ways. His own instruction came entirely through his apprenticeship with Ba Nyan, but he later became an instructor in a government school where his exposure to students was wide and not always intimate. Yet he tried to retain the intimacy of the old apprenticeship system by inviting students to his home to learn.

Artists’ Association. Despite this impressive array of awards, which do indicate his standing and respect in the Burmese art community, the long list must be taken with a grain of salt for in Burma associations that have little do with art or with

Thein Han, however, spent an unusual nine years studying with Ba Nyan and never rebelled against his style and thus remained a realist and naturalist throughout his painting career.

Like Ba Nyan, some of Thein Han's best works are portraits, but he also did landscapes and still life. His son, Han Htut, has written an unpublished article on his father's history, entitled “Artist U Thein Han (1910-1986)” which lists 16 of his most important oil works. But perhaps three score or

Before World War II, Thein Han took a position as a drawing teacher as Myin Chan High School in
Central Burma. After the war, when the government opened up the Rangoon State School of Fine Arts in 1952, he joined the staff as an instructor of oil and watercolor painting, with an emphasis on color

When Thein Han was in the tenth grade of secondary school, he encountered the work of Ba Nyan through an elder brother who knew Ba Nyan. From that point forward, he became obsessed with the art of painting and asked his parents to send him to art school but was turned down. Thus, he ran away from
