Signed by the artist on the lower right hand corner and numbered 56/260. Frame measures 32-3/8" in height by 19" in width with the sight image measuring 26-3/8" in height by 12-3/4" in width. All measurements are approximate. Hoi Lebadang was born in Vietnam and emigrated to France in 1939 to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse. He had his first one-man show in Paris in 1950 and over the next thirty years gained prominence throughout France and Germany. He came to the attention of Americans in 1966 when the Cincinnati Art Museum hosted the first one-man exhibition of his paintings in the United States.Lebadang fuses the cultural influence of Europe and the Orient in his poetic visions articulated in watercolor, sculpture and lithography. He is critically acclaimed for the grace and simplicity of his imagery, executed in infinite variations of line, shape and color. Lebadang's paintings and graphics are in many important public and private collections, including the Lund University Art Gallery in Sweden, the Rockefeller Collection in New York, and the Phoenix Art Museum.
