René Laubies

René Laubies was a Colonial French painter, translator, traveler and writer. He was born in Cholon in the Imperial French Colony of Cochin-china to a well-off family perhaps as early as 1917. His father was Réunionnaise French-Colonial. His mother was of solid Sinitic roots from a line of upland Phu-Ly Dynasty of Annamese Mandarins. He was the recipient of the coveted Fénéon Prize for visual art in 1954. He will always be noted for collaborations with American poet Robert Creeley. Laubies passed away in India on 13 November 2006.
