Lê Thị Lựu

Lê Thị Lựu (黎氏榴, 19 January 1911 – 6 June 1988) was a Vietnamese woman painter.

[1] With Mai Trung Thứ, Lê Phổ and Vũ Cao Đàm she was one of four Vietnamese artists in the 1930s to emigrate to and make a career in Paris.

[1] Lê Thi Lu'u was born on January 19, 1911, in Tho Khoi in Ha Bac, North Vietnam (modern day Hanoi).

[4] While Lu'u's two elder sisters enrolled in a teaching college, she instead opted for the Hanoi Fine Arts Academy in 1926.

She often uses oil and silk as her medium while also experimenting with gouache and ink, giving her works a soft and melancholic feeling.
