"Home is where the art is for lamented Le Pho" by Le Thanh Tru

Some of those who have comfortable lives in the West have gradually forgotten their roots, their homeland but that could never be said of Le Pho, the last of four famous Vietnamese painters in France.

Le Pho, one of the first graduates of the French-built Indochina Fine Arts College, died in mid-December last year in France at the age of 94; yet for all his decades abroad, he never forgot his birthplace and one can be sure his soul seeks it still.

From his earliest days, Le Pho nurtured a deep passion for painting. When opportunities were wanting, he made his own: from imitating pictures and photos to drawing back for a small local photographic shop.

After graduating from the Indochina Fine Arts College, which was set up in 1925 by French painter Victor Tardieu, he received a scholarship to study at the Paris National College of Fine Arts, and then went to Italy for research.
