M. Pierre Mille
[avant 1938]
A Chinese artist who lived in the US, Gee Yun often visited Paris, where he stayed with Prince and Princess Murat. He was introduced to artistic and literary circles, and painted several portraits of French literary figures. This realistic portrait of the colonial writer Pierre Mille has a modernist setting influenced by Cubism. Two objects, a statue of Buddha and a small Chinese figure, evoke Pierre Mille’s interest in Asian cultures: one shared by the artist.
