A member of the New York School of artists, Yektai's paintings synthesized diverse influences from the United States, France, and Iran into works that trouble distinctions between abstraction and representation.
Between 1945 and 1947, he studied with Amédée Ozenfant in Paris, and later in New York City.
From 1946 to 1947, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts, and at the atelier of André Lhote.
[3] Yektai was married to Iranian artist Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian from 1950 to 1953.
