was just surfing the net when i chanced upon this artist by the name of Vann Nath. In 1978 he was sent to Tuol Sleng Prison ("S-21") in Phnom Penh, where he was tortured and nearly killed. Fortunately, his talents were discovered in time, and the Khmer Rouge asked him to paint many propaganda portraits of Pol Pot. At the end of the war, Vann Nath was one of the seven survivors of Tuol Sleng, where nearly 20,000 people died.In 1979 Vann Nath was asked by the new government to paint pictures of the prison tortures for the world to know the secret horrors of the "Killing Fields." And showed them he did.
