+ LÊ PHỔ (VIETNAM & FRANCE, 1907-2001)  ECOLE DES BEAUX-ARTS DE L’INDOCHINE (INDOCHINA FINE ARTS COLLEGE), 1ST CLASS (1925-1930) Bouquet de lys ou Nature morte au vase meiping fleuri d’hibiscus et au bol bleu blanc (Bouquet of Lily of Still life with a meiping vase with lily flowers and a bleu and white bowl) Gouache on paper Signed to the lower right  Framed with a glass  44,3 x 36,3 cm (the full leaf out of the frame)  Provenance: René et Raymonde Altobianchi, antique dealers active in the 1960s-1980s in l’Escarène, near Nice, French Riviera, where Lê Phổ settled after the French army, in which he enrolled in Carcassonne, was defeated by German. Their shop was named ‘César de Peluet’ after the first name of the father of Raymonde. Probably acquired in the 1970s from a local Estate. René Altobianchi was also an ornamental sculptor and was awarded the Medal of the French National Order of Merit for his volunteer role as a technical director of judo, which he practiced along with Yves Klein, a world-renowned artist of the School of Nice prized, notably, for his famous ‘Leap into the void’ and his ‘IKB blue’.  + NOTICE TO BIDDERS: This lot has been authenticated by the Wally Findlay Institute, USA. According to them, it will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonne of the artist. The buyer will bear the cost of this certificate. Please e-mail the department for further details: yuchen@adams.ie. This lot is stored at CADOGAN TATE PARIS. Please contact CADOGAN TATE at Parc des Docks, Batiment 553B, 50 rue Ardouin, St Ouen, 93400 Paris, France, +33 1 48 20 85 60.  Notes: 1. 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.

NGUYEN PHUOC (VIETNAM, B. 1943) SAIGON SCHOOL OF APPLIED ARTS (1960) THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF FINE ARTS OF HO CHI MINH CITY ‘Autumn Evening’ 2002 Oil on canvas Signed on the lower left Bears an artist seal on the lower left Dated on the lower left: ‘02’ Framed 81 x 77 cm Provenance: A private collection of Vietnamese Art, French Riviera, France. NOTICE TO BIDDERS: This work has been authenticated by the artist himself (www.nguyenphuoc.com). The successful bidder will be provided with a certificate of authenticity with the serial #US-02-032 matching that which is on the stretcher, on the back of the painting. Notes: 1. Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Nguyen Phuoc began to paint as a teenager and later on graduated from the School of Applied Arts of Saigon (1960) and from the National University of Fine Arts (also in Saigon, 1965). He later settled in Minnesota, USA. 2. A thoughtful and attentive artist, Nguyen Phuoc always devotes a great deal of care to his compositions, meticulously executed on large formats by an unfailing hand. His works are profuse in their themes, using a rich chromatic palette. The artist is deliberately neglecting the rules of classical perspective. Amidst his main subjects are depictions of women and still lives. Our painting is the perfect combination of the two. Two beautiful Vietnamese ladies dressed in áo dài are resting outside on a terrace overlooking a river. On the first ground is a flowered antique blue and white porcelain vase with a fruit dish next to it. On the second and third grounds are the two ladies, the first one resting against an opium bed, the second one against a garden stool. In the background is a river with sampan boats. They are enjoying a quiet autumn evening outdoors. They are similar both by the color of their clothes and by their positions in the composition with the two women depicted by the same artist on a painting sold at SOTHEBY’S Singapore, 2004-04-04, lot 193. 3. Currently, his works are preserved in several public collections such as the Singapore Museum of Arts, the Singapore Vietnam Heritage Foundation and the Singapore Emerald Hill Gallery. His record price at auction was achieved by SOTHEBY’S Hong Kong, China, 2020-10-06, lot 264, sold for €35,060.

Miyagawa Toranosuke, birth name of Makuzu Kōzan 宮川香山 (1842-1916) was of the major potters of the Meiji period appointed artist to the Japanese Imperial household. He won prizes at fifty-one (51) exhibitions. 2. The design may have been made after an oshi-e panel – i.e. a tradition Japanese craft of folded silk over stiff paper cuttings, puffed up with stuffed cotton – by the artist Sakurai Seppo (1753-1824) currently preserved at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, Canada, under accession number SeP.15.01. It is a parody of a procession of the daimyo, i.e. a the regional and feudal warrior lords. Those approximately two hundred and fifty (250) lords were required to spend alternate years in the shogun court in the capital Edo, thus the roads to Edo were often the sigh of formidable pageants. The original piece of art depicts forty-two (42) insects in total, either grasshoppers, wasps and mantises – bearing flowers and fruits over their stiff limbs, banners and even a palanquin.
