The women in Three Fujins have different facial expressions. The first looks miserable. The second angry, and the third happy.
In the "Three Fujins", Hung Liu mentions that: "Contrast is very important. If you don't have contrast, everything basically just cancels each other out, therefore the paint will fade away eventually. In this oil paint, she contrasts carefully controlled lines with uncontrolled lines "liberated" by using linseed oil. The effect produced by these liberated lines creates a haunting sadness in the painting- as I view it. It's as if the painting "weeps". Which is a very appropriate tone considering the theme of this painting involves subjugating women.
