Who Was Le Pho?
Le Pho (Lê Phổ) was a famous French-Vietnamese painter best known for the three distinct art styles that marked important milestones in his artistic career and personal life; beginning in Hanoi, then Paris (Romanet period), and finally in America (Findlay period). He was born in Hanoi, Vietnam in 1907 before attending art school in Paris in the 1930s. Le Pho would go on to show his works in galleries across Europe and the United States. Many in the art world consider Le Pho’s ability to create art in different styles throughout his life as a testament to his versatility as an artist.
What Are The Most Sought After Le Pho Pieces?
All of Le Pho’s art is sought after by collectors; however, his most recognizable pieces come from what is known as his Findlay Period, named for the gallery owner Wally Findlay who helped propel Le Pho into fame in the United States. In this era, Le Pho created many oil paintings that featured Vietnamese women surrounded by flowers and bright landscapes. This era spanned from the mid to late 1960s until the end of his life in 2001.
