묵정 민병희의 소가 내닫다  This paiting is Mookjung Min Byung Hwee’s “The Charging Bull”. Mookjung Min Byung Hwee is one of the more famous contemporary oriental painters, coming from Kwang Ju, who has been on the rise doing various shows, art competitions, and teaching since 1989. His art is often described as order juxtaposed with chaos, as he often uses strong, thick, unorganized strokes to fill a page while also painting something, usually from nature, so that it connects with the strokes in many of his paintings. The Charging Bull was painted in 2002.

운보 김기창의 청산도(淸山圖)

Woonbo Kim Ki Chang’s ChungSanDo (Paintings of a clear mountain)

Kim Ki Chang, who’s ho(호 鎬) is Woonbo(雲甫: Large Cloud) was a more modern dongyanghwa artist, born in 1913 and who passed away in 2001.

His strokes are a lot more powerful and deeper than most artists of the dongyanghwa genre and he’s well known for his use of bright colors which jump out of the page.

This series of paintings are of the same mountain and are collectively called ChungSanDo, or paintings of Chungsan(clear mountain).

depressingfacts: 김홍도의 송하유록도(松下有鹿圖) The Doe Beneath the Pine Tree (drawn by Kim Hong Do) Kim Hong Do, famous for his drawings of people such as his work Shirum which captures a scene of traditional Korean wrestling or his more scandalous paintings of people having sex (He was born around 1745 and no one is sure when he died), is not well known for doing paintings of nature. However, along with the Songhayoorokdo (pictured above) he also painted a picture of a similar theme with a lion beneath a pine tree called Songhamaenghodo(송하맹호도(松下猛虎圖)) pictured below. Along with various paintings done during his trip to Kum Kang Mountain, the Songha series are some of the few paintings of Kim Hong Do which focus in nature. The Songhayoorokdo is famous, however, for the pine tree which stems from not the earth but from cracks in the rocks of the mountain.

depressingfacts: 허백련-산수도 Huh Baek Ryun - A painting of mountains and streams The translation of the chinese characters is as follows 왕우승(王維)이 시를 짓자 형상없는 그림이 되고 그림을 그리자 말이 없는 시가 되었으니, 대저 품격이 초월하고 의취가 고매하였다. It is said that when the monk Wang Wu wrote a poem it became a shapeless drawing, and when he drew a painting it became a wordless poem. It is said he received enlightenment from the chase of quality.  녹대선생(王原祁)은 말하기를, “고법에 있는 것도 아니고 내 손에 있는 것도 아니며, 도 고법과 내 손 밖에 벗어나지 않는다.” 하였다. The teacher Nok Dae also told us that the art of drawing lies not in old techniques, nor does it lie in in my hands. It is even outside the realm of the combination of old techniques and my hands. 금강저(義玄)와 같은 필봉은 습관을 탈피하여 마음으로 터득하고 입으로 발하여 마치 임제가 꾸짖음에 그 소리가 우레처럼 큰 것과 같은데 있으니, 남의 말만 듣고 신용하는 자는 어떻게 할 수 없는 자이다 The great scholars such as Kum Kang Juh escaped their habits and learned with their hearts, releasing from their lips scolding as loud as the thunder. One cannot help someone who trusts someone after only hearing what they have to say.
