Underwritten by a scholar from Lâ€Ã¢â€žÂ¢Ecole, from 1931 to 1949 Dam took up residence in Paris, amid the various emerging arts movements and exceptional vitality of the period.Further travels to the South of France â€Ã¢€Å“ at one point having Marc Chagall as a neighbor â€Ã¢€Å“ rounded out Vu Cao Damâ€Ã¢â€žÂ¢s exposure to the new wave of thinking among Western artists.
