Le Pho was bornin Vietnam on August 2, 1907. In 1930 Le Pho went to Paris, where he studied painting for two years. During the 1930s and early 1940s, he painted with long, thin brushes using watercolor on silk. His subjects, including bamboo, birds, and lotus flowers, were traditionally Asian. Returning to Hanoi in 1933, he was appointed a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts, a position he held from 1933to 1936. His students at that time remember him as a thin, well-groomed, well-mannered man. He returned to Paris in 1937 to serve as a delegate to the International Exposition and also as a member of the jury. Pho remained in France and had his first solo exhibition there in 1938. In the 1950s, after Le Pho had absorbed the influence of Pierre Bonnard and Odilon Redon, his subjects included sensuous female figures, often portrayed in interiors. Le Pho died in Paris in 2001, after donating 20 of his works to the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts.
