NOTICE
Lê Phổ, an internationally renowned Vietnamese artist, is known for his works that harmoniously blend Asian traditions with the influences of Western painting. In this lithograph entitled Maternity, Lê Phổ explores the universal theme of motherhood with a sensitivity imbued with gentleness and serenity. The scene depicts a mother tenderly holding her child, a recurring figure in the artist's work, symbolizing maternal love and protection.
The technique of lithography on paper enables Lê Phổ to create delicate textures and subtle nuances, giving the image an almost ethereal lightness. Fluid lines and soft hues, often in pastel tones, lend the work a soothing, meditative atmosphere, recalling influences from traditional Vietnamese art as well as elements of symbolism. Lê Phổ thus expresses an intimate vision of maternity, where every detail contributes to the emotion and tenderness of the composition.
Close to artists such as Vu Cao Dam and Mai Trung Thu, also known for their depictions of female figures and scenes of family life, Lê Phổ imposes a unique style, at the crossroads of Eastern and Western cultures. Maternity is a lithograph appreciated for its timeless beauty and visual poetry, capturing the grace and intimacy of the maternal bond with a rare delicacy.
