300 - Life by Be Ky, 85x47 cm, Ink on paper. Be Ky (1938–2021) was a self-taught Vietnamese artist celebrated for her spontaneous ink paintings - often called "cro-ky" (a pun on the French "croquis") - depicting Vietnamese street life, rural scenes, mothers and children, and traditional folk activities. Orphaned during wartime, she rose to international fame while still a teenager sketching on the streets of Saigon, held 16 exhibitions there between 1957 and 1975, and later emigrated to California where she continued to work. This item is held at Cadmore ASIAN Office in Vietnam and will be shipped from there. Buyers will be responsible for direct shipping payments. Delivery will take slightly longer.
