Through the teleplays and films, the people have known Pan Yu-liang. She showed her painting talent and unique spirit when she faced her unfortunate fate and the unfair society at that time. All her life, Pan struggled against the traditional restrictions. In the chaotic period of the Republic of China (1912-1949), Pan Yu-liang made her remarkable artistic achievements. Pan Yu-liang, who had produced more than 6000 pieces of works and gained many international awards, could not be replaced in the art history. The westerns consider that Pan was a master emerging art trends like expressionism and realism. Actually, Pan Yu-liang was a pioneer to form a creation style that combines characteristics of both Chinese classical elegance and western romantic soul. She successfully put the lines of ink painting into her western style compositions and made abundant colors and painting skills of the western painting penetrate into Chinese painting. Pan became the only female artist performing on the international painting stage in the modern Chinese history. The images of nude women, a main theme of Pan's works, are pure, sensitive and affecting, which she pursued inflexibly in her whole life. Pan observed the female body with a different perspective from her female peers. Pan laid emphasis on the depiction of their vitality, the healthy beauty and maternity. Pan Yu-liang was an outstanding female representative for her life and art at that time. Pan used her whole life to create, strengthen and spread the beauty in her eyes. Through the baptism and trial of the time, Pan led the new spirit and aesthetic judgment of the Chinese female artist. That is Pan Yu-liang’s “soul in her painting”.
