Note: Desaix Anderson was born in Sumner, Mississippi and had a renowned career as a diplomat, educator and artist. Following his first assignment for the U.S. Foreign Service in Kathmandu, Nepal, Anderson served a total of six assignments in Vietnam between 1965 and 1997, culminating in his opening the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi as chargé d’affaires in 1995. Late in his career, Desaix began painting, and his works have been exhibited at galleries in New York and Mississippi. In 2011, he and his brother, Buford, established the Cassidy Bayou Art Gallery in their hometown of Sumner. Desaix had a profound interest in nature and the harmony and balance of life, both on the individual and societal level. He utilized texture and vibrant color to create powerful works, such as the present lot, that incorporate a rare spiritual depth through minimalist compositions. Mountain, rivers, the sun, the moon, ancient structures and the sea are recurrent themes in his paintings, reflecting his fascination with the cultural landscape of the peoples of Asia and his later travels in France, Italy and Mexico.
