Specialist note

"Le Pho's draftsmanship raises his paintings into a realm of pure peace, grace and beauty...He has helped fine arts in oriental and western areas come closer, while holding on to that quietness of gaze, that veneration. His works evoke a world of unreality, a place without death and evil." - George Waldemar
