Catalogue Note
Le Minh graduated from the Gia Dinh Art School in 1957 and is well acknowledged for his oil paintings and book illustrations. In the 1950s, he was part of a group of Vietnamese artists who employed the palette knife in their oil painting, a technique that was inspired by the French painter Henri Mège.
