“Lady with Hat” speaks of the unique painting language of Yun Gee has for portrait painting. From 1920 to 1930, the artist was influenced by cubism and its deconstruction of geometric color blocks; futurism and its expression of lively time; cubism and its linear brush strokes. He created a rich individualistic composition with tilted composition and linear blocks. The females in “Lady with Hat” have slightly tilted heads, and the artist has successfully capture the beauty and elegance within the moment of the slightly raised chin.
The background of the figures was presented in abstract simplified color blocks. This technique has brought out the environment and social condition, and also made the figure stand out to express the artist’s care for human and a self-reflection of the artist’s inner world.
