LE PHO
Born in Vietnam in 1907, Le Pho was in the first class of artists that graduated from the Ecole des Beaux Art de l'Indochine in Hanoi. Following trips to Europe and to China in the early 1930's, Le Pho returned to Paris in 1937 where he eventually married and lived until his death in December 2001.
