Catalogue Note

The French painter Louis Rollet was a Professor at the Hanoi Fine Arts School in the 1930's. He received the Indochina Award in 1930 and participated in the Colonial Exhibition of Paris in 1931. His rarely seen oil paintings from the Indochinese period show his embodiment of the French traveler-painter tradition.
