Get in touchWho was Lee Man Fong?
Lee Man Fong was a Chinese-Indonesian artist. From 1946 till 1952 he lived in the Netherlands, which is one of the reasons his paintings often show oriental as well as Western influences. Later on he served as palace painter of the first Indonesian president Sukarno. Zeeuws Veilinghuis
