* La femme en jaune
Oil on canvas, signed lower left
44 x 30 cm - 17 3/8 x 11 3/4 in.
La femme en jaune was part of the stylistic revival of the Sixties, following the artist’s meeting with Wally Findlay. It is defined by dynamic brush-strokes, a flamboyant palette and the play of light. The artist turns to vivid colors to bring to life a poetic vision of motherhood, one of his favorite themes, depicting a mother’s tenderness for her child. Here, they pose in a lush garden that fades into the background.
Born into a Mandarin family, the artist allows him-self to embrace international trends and dresses this young woman in a yellow ao dai. This color is traditionally reserved exclusively for the emperor.
