Le Ba Dang, who went by 'Lebadang' as well as by the alias, 'Hoi', was born on June 27, in Bich-La-Dong, Hue province, Vietnam. While still a teenager, he secretly altered personal documents to join the Main d'oeuvre Indigine (M.O.I), or "Indigenous Manpower" branch of the French Ministry of Labor in Unbeknownst to Lebadang, it was an exploitive operation that would place him in a prison at Baumettes for Indochinese citizens forcibly recruited from their homelands to build munitions for the Second World War, after French citizens were drafted into the army. From June until August , Lebadang escaped from a prison factory, was caught, re-imprisoned in the Hautes-Pyrenees, and once more escaped to Toulouse, a free zone.
Lebadang rarely spoke of this time, one he found too painful to address even through art. However, its end came with a life-changing twist, as he was able to take his first formal lessons in painting and sculpture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, under the tutelage of Espinasse and Manin. He found success with his professors and was invited to create the brochures for a variety of events at the school. Following the war, he con

Lebadang
Lebadang was born in in Bich-La-Dong, a village along the Huong River in Quang-Tri Province of Hue, Vietnam. He expressed himself through a variety of media, including painting, watercolor, sculpture, jewelry and graphic works. He often combined various media, creating sculptural, highly textured artwork.
Founder and CEO of Park West Gallery, Albert Scaglione, knew the artist for more than 30 years. Lebadang continued to create until his passing despite being more than 90 years old. His wife, Myshu, told Mr. Scaglione, “Life is a sinking ship and work is a lifeboat.” This described her husband perfectly.
“I don&#;t just use brushes to paint on canvas, but mix pasteboard, paint and limestone and spread my works on large pieces of thick burlap,” Lebadang once said. “So, my paintings usually look rough and irregular in shape, but I think they are strange in a beautiful way.

It was at Bich La Dông, his own village near Quang Tri in central Vietnam, that he completed his primary studies. However, as soon as he grew into adolescence he felt an urgent need to escape and travel to France. Still under age, he signed up with &#;Indigenous Manpower&#; (Main d’œuvre indigène, M.O.I) a branch of the French Ministry of Labour. His father was unable to cancel his recruitment application and, with nowhere to turn, was forced to see his son leave.
&#;
Recruited at Quang Tri on 16 October , he boarded the boat at Tourane (present-day Dà Nang) on 3 February and disembarked 47 days later at Marseille on 20 March after an uncomfortable and testing journey. As soon as he arrived he and his comrades we
