Order of value from a simple work to the most prestigious

Style and technique of artist Le Thi Luu 

Le Thi Luu is influenced by the styles of Victor Tardieu and Joseph Inguimberty. She has worked in a wide variety of techniques, from classic oil on canvas, drawing and printmaking, to the mastery of ink. Her ink drawings are her most emblematic and highly-prized works.

Le Thi Luu, painter in vogue

Le Thi Luu (1911-1988) was a renowned Vietnamese artist. She was born into a wealthy family in northern Vietnam, and trained at an early age at the École des Beaux-Arts d'Indochine in Hanoi, where she learned painting from Victor Tardieu, the school's co-founder.

After completing her studies, she decided to pursue a career in Paris in the 40s, where few Vietnamese artists had settled, unlike artists from other countries. She didn't stay long, however, as she was forced to move to the south of France after the war. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she depicted the landscapes of Gentilly in her drawings and paintings, working extensively on the representation of light, inspired by the techniques of Pierre Bonnard and Auguste Renoir.

She then made a point of producing female portraits right up to the end of her career. She died in 1988.

Le Thi Luu's imprint on his period 

Le Thi Luu left her mark on her time through her artistic commitment. She also contributed to the evolution and modernization of Vietnamese painting, passing on her know-how and skills to many other painters after her. Few of the artist's works are in circulation today on the art market, and many have disappeared, heightening collectors' interest when one of them comes up for auction. 

Recognizing the artist's signature

Le Thi Luu often signs his name at the bottom of his drawings or oil paintings. Copies may exist, so expertise is important.
