| Lebadang
(1922- )
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.
Over the next three decades there were many important exhibits of his works throughout France and Germany. Lebadang 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's paintings and graphics are in many important public and private collections, including the University Art Gallery, Lund, Sweden; Rockfeller Collection, New York; Loo Collection, Tokyo; Phoenis Art Museum; Ruud Lighting, Inc.; Lloyd Baretz Enterprises; Behavioral Medicine Northwest, Seattle; etc...
