		Korean painting of the 1980s was largely a reaction to the modernism of the 1970s.

	II Journal: Decorative Painting of Korea
		In contrast to ink monochrome paintings, which were created by both scholar-amateur and professional painters to express their innermost thoughts and responses to life experiences, decorative paintings were created by professional painters to wish for joyous happenings, to expel evil influences, and to bring health, happiness, and longevity.
		Buddhist paintings produced during the Choson dynasty were often accompanied by the title, year, place, and the name of the monastery, as well as by the names of the painters and donors.
		Their repertoire included paintings which served didactic and moralistic purposes; decorative paintings; paintings recording rituals and ceremonies; commemorative paintings recording gatherings of elder statesmen; portrait paintings; topographical paintings; New Year's paintings; paintings of longevity symbols and farming; and maps, as well as Buddhist religious paintings.

		A stand of bamboo in this large quiet painting is rendered in finely constrained brushstrokes that bring the viewer in among the shoots and stalks of the grove.
		This painting from the early 20th century has a feeling of serenity and softness owing to the placement and muted tones of the green leaves and a few rings of blue water on the fine silk.
		Unlike true folk art, Korean functional paintings were usually the work of professional artists; it was subject matter and widespread use of the paintings by all classes of society that made them similar to folk art.

	KOREA AND THE KOREAN PEOPLE
		The paintings of Koguryo in the northern part of the Korean peninsula were marked by vitality and rhythmic movement as shown in the murals found in the tombs near Tong-gou in Manchuria and Pyongyang.
		While the paintings of Koguryo are dynamic and rhythmic and those of Paekche elegant and refined, the paintings of Silla are somewhat speculative and staticaL Thus each of the ancient nations of the Korean peninsula developed its own style despite strong influences from China and close cultural interchanges amongst themselves.
		Painting was also an important art in the other Korean kingdom of Parhae (699-926), which occupied a vast territory including Manchuria and northern Korea and rivaled Unified Silla Murals in the Tomb of Princess Chonghyo reveal a mixture of Koguryo tradition and assimilation of Tang styles.

		Landscape painting in the style of An Kyôn—featuring prominent mountains looming in the background over idyllic scenes of trees, small hills, and water (sometimes with evidence of human presence, such as boats or architecture)—flourished through the fifteenth, sixteenth, and even into the seventeenth century.
		Paintings of native sites did exist in Korea prior to the eighteenth century; yet, undeniably, it is in Chông's splendid paintings of famous sites that the concept and style of true-view painting reached its full potential.

		Korean genre paintings, particularly from the eighteenth century, are esteemed for their candid, realistic representations of Chosôn society (1392–1910) and are considered by many as among the most "Korean" of all Korean art forms.
		While the involvement of the literati, both as artists and patrons, was integral to the development of Korean genre painting, it was the professional court painters of the late eighteenth century who saw to the maturation of genre paintings in form and content.
		These two painting types are frequently cited as evidence of the increasing emphasis on the development of a Korean cultural identity and are among the most celebrated artistic achievements of the late Chosôn dynasty.

		Korean and Korean-American painting, pottery, calligraphy, and even modern art often reflect this style or aesthetic of simplicity, naturalness, and directness.
		Some have also claimed that Korean art is simple when compared to Chinese art because of Korea’s pre-20th century history of isolation and relative poverty, as compared to China’s history of trade and wealth.
		The style of simplicity and naturalness lent itself to depicting the rugged life of the Korean countryside, and in the 17th century, genres of art began to develop that focused on the life of the peasant classes.

	The Fragrance of Ink: Korean Literati Paintings of the Choson Dynasty (1392-1910) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Korean landscape itself--as in the "12,000 ridges" of the revered Kumgang-san (Diamond Mountains)--is immortalized by native masters with brush and ink on paper and silk.
		To illustrate such complex developments in Korean literati painting during the late Choson period, The Fragrance of Ink is organized thematically with sections on landscape, figures in landscapes, bird-and-flower painting, and the traditional "Four Gentlemen" of bamboo, chrysanthemum, orchid, and plum.
		In contrast, Korean innovation in both style and subject matter is most developed in the "true-view" landscapes of scholar-artists such as Chong Son, Kang Se-hwang, and Kim Hong-do.

		With the rise of national pride in Korean culture in the late Chosòn period, an original hand in landscape painting was found in Chòng Sòn (1676–1759).
		Most probably it was the Korean painter and theorist Kang Sehwang (1713–1791) who in the middle of the 18th century "recreated" the term trying to give a name to a landscape genre that had already been en vogue for several decades.
		Paintings of both types are found in the oeuvres of Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Lu Zhi, and others, which I will examine in my paper.

	Welcome to the Korean Cultural Service
		With an exuberant late style, Park Saeng Kwang established an innovative re-examination of traditional Korean painting that transcended the turmoil in 20th century Korean culture following first, the Japanese occupation and later, the division of the nation.
		The Shamans in Korea are usually female, and their brightly colored robes, as well as the distinctive color patterns that decorate Korean temples, gave Park the formal means to articulate an aesthetic vision celebrating his roots and identity.
		There is a significant parallel between notions of history, memory and identity that inform much contemporary art and the specifically Korean sensibility that Park Saeng Kwang, who was trained and had worked in Japan, struggled to recover in his painting.

		Paintings of scholars or philosophers surrounded by remote pinnacles, tall pines, waterfalls, and mists, with no company except that of country people, reflect ideals familiar in Western literature and paintings of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
		These themes of isolation, reflection, and simplicity are conventions that Japanese artists and scholars, emulating the lifestyle and aesthetic preoccupation of their Chinese mentors, readily adopted.
