Note:	Lebadang: A major international painter and printmaker, Lebadang left Vietnam in 1939 to study at the Ecole des Beaux Artes in Toulouse, France. His first one man exhibition took place in Paris in 1950. From this date Lebadang's paintings and prints became famous for their uniquely personal blend of eastern and western elements as well as their distinct textural qualities and masterful colour modulations. During the following decades Lebadang's poetic imagery has been the subject of over fifty one man shows held around the world.
	Lebadang's art first gained recognition in the United States in 1966 when an exhibition of his paintings was launched at the Cincinnati Art Museum. (Sunlight in the Jungle may have been included in this important exhibition as on its verso it bears the Paris 1966 custom's export stamp.) Further solo exhibitions took place in Paris, Nantes, Dusseldorf, Cologne and Cannes. Today Lebadang's original art is included in many important public and private collections such as the Rockefeller Collection, New York, the Columbia Art Institute, the Phoenix Art Museum, the Cincinnati Museum, the Loo Collection, Tokyo, the Foundation Museum, Kenya, Lund University Museum, Sweden and the Museum of Arts and Letters, Paris.
