One of the leading figures of modern Vietnamese art, Lê Phổ was born in 1907 in Hà Tây province into a respected Mandarin family, his father being the last viceroy of Tonkin. Showing a predisposition for painting and drawing, he entered the first class of the Indochina School of Fine Arts in 1925. He was soon noticed by the director and founder of the school, Victor Tardieu, for whom he retained a strong attachment throughout his life. In 1931, he came to France to present his works on the occasion of the International Colonial Exhibition. He chose to stay in Paris for a year to attend classes at the École des Beaux-Arts, then undertook several trips to Europe. He returned to Vietnam in 1933 and taught at the Indochina School of Fine Arts in Hanoi. He decided to settle permanently in France in 1937 and quickly became very well known. 2. Lily symbolizes purity and fertility. The sweet and innocent beauty of the lily flower has given it the association of fresh life and rebirth. In this painting, Lê Phổ pays tribute to the classic genre of still life, whilst bringing his fresh vision on it, thereby creating an image at the confluence of the Western and the East Asian pictorial traditions. The discreet and quickly painted low-tone grey background, possibly a reference to the Spanish Bodegones, contrasts with the vivid red of the round table. On the latter are depicted two antique Chinese porcelains: a Ming style blue and white bowl resting on a wooden legged-stand and a Yuan stype Meiping vase flowered with white lillies. 3. Bouquet of flowers was one of the main subjects depicted by Lê Phổ along with young women. In some paintings, he even combined both subjects, as one can see in a work entitled ‘Nostalgie’ sold at CHRISTIE’S Hong Kong, China, 2018-11-24, under lot number 44. The artist mastered at painting all varieties of flowers with bright colors and a rare freshness. The record price at auction for a bouquet of flowers was achieved at SOTHEBY’S Hong Kong, China, 2020-07-09, lot 268 at €273,153.
AN INTRICATELY CARVED ‘DRAGON, QILIN AND BAT - RỒNG, KỲ LÂN AND CON DƠI’ WOODEN INCENSE BURNER STAND OR ALTAR TABLE VIETNAM, LATE NGUYEN DYNASTY, CIRCA 1880-1900 Of square shape, resting on four tubular legs. The apron is openworked on each side with open-worked confronted qilin and centered by a bat together with a coin. The legs are unusually and very finely carved on two layers with coiled dragons. H: 85 cm - Side (the top): 56,5 cm MỘT BÀN THỜ HOẶC ĐẾ LƯ HƯƠNG BẰNG GỖ CHẠM KHẮC TINH XẢO HỌA TIẾT “DRAGON, QILIN AND BAT - RỒNG, KỲ LÂN VÀ CON DƠI” VIỆT NAM, CUỐI TRIỀU NHÀ NGUYỄN, VÀO KHOẢNG 1880-1900 Note: The iconography of this wooden incense burner stand is rich. Amongst the numerous elements, one can point out the combination of a bat (fu 蝠) with a coin (zai 在). Such a design is referred to as an eye coin (yanqian, 眼钱) and creates a visual pun since saying there is a ‘bat on the coin’ (fu zai yan qian) sounds exactly like saying ‘happiness is before your eyes’ (fu zai yan qian 福在眼前).
