Additional info:
Bibi (Labibeh) Zogbé was a Lebanese painter and sculptor born in Beirut in 1890, in Sahel Alma, Lebanon. She developed an early passion for the fine arts and received formal painting instruction under the Bulgarian artist Dimitrof Bogdan. At sixteen, she emigrated to San Juan, Argentina, to marry her fiancé, Domingo Samaja. During her early years in Argentina, she explored literature, but it was not until the 1930s that she began to exhibit her paintings professionally. Zogbe became closely involved with the Argentinian artist Benito Quinquela Martín, which led to exhibitions across South America and Paris. While in Mexico, she formed a notable friendship with Polish artist Tamara de Lempicka, who painted several portraits of her. In 1947, Zogbe returned to Lebanon at the invitation of the Lebanese government, where she was honoured with the prestigious Lebanese Order of the Cedar, Medallion of Excellence.
