Marie Antoinette Boullard-Devé settled in Indochina in the early 1920s where she traveled and painted, depicting the local inhabitants and their culture. In the International Colonial Exhibition of Paris in 1931, featuring works of students from the Hanoi School of Fine Arts such as Le Pho and Vu Cao Dam, she executed a fresco. A part of this fresco is preserved at the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris. A major work by Boullard-Devé is a large portfolio of twenty printed plates entitled “Visions of Indochina”. Published in 1929, the portfolio includes a foreword by the French writer Marc Chadoune.
