Born in Marseille in 1896, Joseph Inguimberty was one of the first teachers at the École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine and pursued a successful teaching career for over two decades until the school closed after the Japanese coup in 1945. Along with Victor Tardieu and other teachers, he trained a generation of pioneering Vietnamese artists and laid the foundations for the development of modern art in Vietnam by combining elements and techniques of Western art with local themes and media. Most importantly, Inguimberty played a key role in the renaissance of Vietnamese lacquer art.
