Le Pho (1907-2001) was one of the first painters of the Indochina Fine Arts School. He was once named by the principal and mentor Victor Tardieu as a group of 10 elite students of the school.
In 1931, Le Pho moved to France and received a scholarship to attend the Paris School of Fine Arts, where he had the opportunity to enrich his knowledge of art genres. Of all art genres, impressionism strongly influenced his artworks.
