life and enjoy a moment of rest and comfort.\u003cbr\u003e Here, two genius painters of Joseon, Jeong Seon and Kim Hong-do, speak to us through old paintings.\u003cbr\u003e You must be physically and mentally exhausted from a busy day with a mountain of work, you must miss your loved one who suddenly left, and you must be sad to see yourself getting sick and weak.\u003cbr\u003e It tells us to come here and take a moment to rest amidst the beautiful mountains and rivers, to be comforted by the faces of our beloved family and friends, and to calm our troubled minds with the tranquil scenery of the waterfall on a moonlit night.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tak Hyun-gyu, the best storyteller who explains Korean art in an easy and fun way, shows the essence of Joseon art in this book. \u003cbr\u003eJeong Seon and Kim Hong-do were painters who were active during the peak of Joseon culture in the 17th and 18th centuries, when Joseon culture was pursuing its own independent path, free from Chinese influence, with the pride that it was the best in the world.\u003cbr\u003e This is why Jeong Seon's \"Inwangjesaek\" and \"Geumgangjeondo\" included in this book are highly regarded as national treasures, and Kim Hong-do's \"Samgongbulhwando\" and \"Chuseongbudo\" are highly regarded as treasures.\u003cbr\u003e These paintings are also popular pieces that capture the attention of visitors at exhibitions held at the National Museum of Korea, Gansong Art Museum, and Ho-Am Art Museum, which are recently referred to as meccas of K-culture.\u003cbr\u003e This book uses high-resolution images provided directly by the art collection as illustrations, vividly conveying even the texture of the background fabric.\u003cbr\u003e We also introduce the 'Lee Kun-hee Collection' donated to the nation by the Samsung family in 2021.\u003cbr\u003e The beautiful paintings created by the two painters, Jeong Seon and Kim Hong-do, over a period of 130 years provided great rest and comfort to people of old. \u003cbr\u003eThose paintings have reached us after hundreds of years.\u003cbr\u003e I hope that today's readers will also enjoy the moments of relaxation and comfort that Joseon paintings provide.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e

If you look at an old photo of Inwangjesaek, you can see that the top of the large rock is completely exposed and there was a little bit of space on top.\u003cbr\u003e It was cut off while re-framing the painting one day, and this is the only regret we have today when appreciating the Inwangjesaek.\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"'The best ink painting of 500 years of Joseon Dynasty, painting Inwangsan Mountain in the rain while missing a dead friend, 〈Inwangjesaek〉\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The most notable feature of the Geumgangjeondo is that, unlike previous Geumgangjeondos, the lower right and left sides are left empty, making the entire Geumgangsan Mountain appear round.\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, the boundary between the rocky mountain on the right and the dirt mountain on the left is curved, giving the appearance of a Taegeuk pattern.\u003cbr\u003e This kind of bold composition is a realm that Jeongseon reached after he turned seventy. \u003cbr\u003eJudging by the fact that the soil is exposed except for the areas on the left side of the dirt hill that are covered by conifers, it seems that spring has not yet fully arrived.\u003cbr\u003e The buds are probably just beginning to sprout.\u003cbr\u003e But spring water is already filling the valley.\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"Enjoying the Geumgangsan Mountain from Manicheonbong while lying in the room, 〈Geumgangjeondo〉\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The group of comrades and ambassadors left Hanyang in early November, arrived in Beijing on December 13, and began their return journey on January 26 of the following year, arriving in Hanyang at the end of March.\u003cbr\u003e After a long and arduous five-month journey, Kim Hong-do became ill and fell ill upon returning home.\u003cbr\u003e Fortunately, he was hospitalized for less than a month and recovered sometime in April, and was able to paint this picture.\u003cbr\u003e This reveals why Kim Hong-do copied Yuk Yu's poem into his fan painting.\u003cbr\u003e There is no other piece of writing that better expresses Kim Hong-do's feelings as he spent five months traveling between Joseon and China on horseback, enduring wind, rain, and dust, than Yuk Yu's poem. \u003cbr\u003e--- From \"The sorrowful heart of someone caught in the drizzle in a foreign land, \"Giryewon Yudo\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Zhu Xi's poetry and Kim Hong-do's paintings vividly portrayed the simple life, so they served as a source of study for the king and the nobles, as well as for painting.\u003cbr\u003e After appreciating the painting, King Jeongjo must have made a pledge to govern well so that the people would not starve.\u003cbr\u003e The poem ends with a story about a runner who lived in poverty but became a great scholar, linking his life of poverty to the virtue of frugality.\u003cbr\u003e King Jeongjo may have wanted to say that while it is not right to live on just soup and barley rice, studying is just as important as not starving.\u003cbr\u003e But did King Jeongjo ever eat only pot soup and barley rice?\u003cbr\u003e --- From “‘Governing a country means ensuring that no household goes hungry, 〈Governing the Country〉”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe joy of the autumn harvest is clearly reflected on the faces of farmers, women, and children.\u003cbr\u003e If there is a good harvest, one house, one village, one country will be at peace. Just by looking at the piles of grain in the three or four houses in the picture, one can infer that the country is at peace.\u003cbr\u003e The noblemen and women in the previous painting were all wearing Chinese clothing, but the farmers and women in this painting were wearing Joseon clothing: a jacket, pants, and a skirt.\u003cbr\u003e The house is not much different from a Joseon thatched-roof house.\u003cbr\u003e So, if you look at only the bamboo grove, it becomes a Joseon genre painting.\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"The Joy of Autumn Harvest Filling the Faces of Farmers, Women, and Children, 〈Pyeongcheonha〉\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eKim Hong-do, who had been painting for 40 years, from 1765 at the age of 21 to 1805 at the age of 61, and who had moved the Joseon Dynasty with his paintings, must have sighed as he lay on his sickbed, looking at himself as his mind and body were crumbling, and the sighs he let out were several times stronger than the sighs that Guyangsu uttered in “Chuseongbu.”\u003cbr\u003e Look at how Kim Hong-do copied the original text of the 408-character “Chuseongbu” and wrote the last two characters, “sigh (歎息),” separately on different lines.\u003cbr\u003e This is the end of Kim Hong-do.\u003cbr\u003e But even in the midst of his lament, Kim Hong-do created the greatest masterpiece of his life.\u003cbr\u003e This is the greatness of art.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- From \"The loneliness and sadness of old age, painted in the face of death, \"Chuseongbudo\"\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003e“When I look at these pictures\u003cbr\u003e I hope you are happy.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The greatest storyteller of Korean art\u003cbr\u003e Tak Hyun-gyu tells\u003cbr\u003e The Heart of Joseon Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Popular works exhibited at the National Museum of Korea, Gansong, and Ho-Am Art Museum\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA hot topic from Lee Kun-hee's collection\u003cbr\u003e National Treasures and Treasures of Our Country\u003cbr\u003e Meet these pictures in a book!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Joseon painters ask about our daily lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Art gives us a variety of emotions that we need to feel as we live.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes it allows us to escape from the tiring and difficult daily life and enjoy a moment of rest and comfort.\u003cbr\u003e Here, two genius painters of Joseon, Jeong Seon and Kim Hong-do, speak to us through old paintings.\u003cbr\u003e You must be physically and mentally exhausted from a busy day with a mountain of work, you must miss your loved one who suddenly left, and you must be sad to see yourself getting sick and weak.\u003cbr\u003e It tells us to come here and take a moment to rest amidst the beautiful mountains and rivers, to be comforted by the faces of our beloved family and friends, and to calm our troubled minds with the tranquil scenery of the waterfall on a moonlit night.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eResting with Joseon's landscapes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The greatest scholar-painter of Joseon, Gyeomjae Jeong Seon, was from the Noron faction. \u003cbr\u003eIn the early Joseon Dynasty, with Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism as the ideology, China was considered the standard for all culture, and Chinese mountains, rivers, and civilization were depicted.\u003cbr\u003e However, later, as he developed Joseon Seongrihak, a unique form of Joseon Confucianism, he began to draw Joseon's mountains, rivers, and civilization with pride in his culture.\u003cbr\u003e The person who took the lead was Jeong Seon, and what he developed was Jin-gyeong landscape painting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jeong Seon, a native of Hanyang, climbed Mt. Bukak and Mt. Inwang with his lifelong friend, Lee Byeong-yeon, and rode a boat on the Han River.\u003cbr\u003e In the process, he painted countless landscape paintings depicting Joseon's landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e Examples include “Okryu-dong,” “Cheongpunggye,” and “Inwangjesaek,” which depict Inwangsan Mountain, a hot place in Hanyang and the backyard of his house in Jeongseon.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, “Inwangjesaek” is a masterpiece depicting Inwangsan Mountain after the rain, expressing the artist’s longing for his lifelong friend Lee Byeong-yeon after his death. \u003cbr\u003eThe thick rain clouds descending on the valley of Inwangsan Mountain, the solid aura of the granite rocks, and the new waterfalls formed here and there by the rain were expressed using only ink and wash, and today it is designated as a national treasure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Among the places that Jeong Seon traveled with his friend Lee Byeong-yeon were Geumgangsan Mountain and the Eight Scenic Views of Gwandong.\u003cbr\u003e Many paintings were also produced here, and in particular, the Geumgangsan painting became the core of Jeongseon Jin-gyeong Sansu.\u003cbr\u003e Examples include the national treasure, “Geumgangjeondo” and the treasure, “Haeakjeonsincheop.”\u003cbr\u003e 〈Geumgangjeondo〉 is a masterpiece that evokes a sense of mystery by using the shape of a mountain in the shape of a Taegeuk pattern.\u003cbr\u003e Jeong Seon served as a local government official several times, and his last position was as the magistrate of Yangcheon, Gyeonggi Province.\u003cbr\u003e It is said that this was thanks to King Yeongjo's consideration to allow him to paint while riding a boat on the Han River.\u003cbr\u003e King Yeongjo loved Jeong Seon so much that he called him by his pen name rather than his name.\u003cbr\u003e The treasure 《Gyeonggyo Myeongseungcheop》, which includes a painting of the Han River, was created during the time he was the magistrate of Yangcheon.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs we turn the pages, we become scholars enjoying the clear waters and cool breezes of Hanyang, strollers strolling along the Han River, admiring the boats floating on it, and travelers wandering around the red sunrise over the East Sea and the beautiful Mt. Geumgangsan.\u003cbr\u003e Let's take a break from our tiring and difficult daily lives and enjoy Jeong Seon's paintings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eProviding comfort through ordinary, everyday scenes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kim Hong-do, the greatest painter of Joseon, was a genius who stood out in the Dohwaseo at the age of 21.\u003cbr\u003e He followed in the footsteps of Jeong Seon, who even transformed Chinese painting materials into Joseon-style paintings.\u003cbr\u003e After drawing the famous painting “Xiyuan Ajipdo” where 16 celebrities from various fields of China participated and enjoyed poetry, painting, and music together, he also created “Danwondo” to depict the moment when he and his acquaintances gathered together regardless of social status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eKim Hong-do enjoyed King Jeongjo's favor throughout his time as a painter at the Dohwaseo.\u003cbr\u003e King Jeongjo said, “I have known Kim Hong-do for a long time because he is a good painter.\u003cbr\u003e He even wrote, “I painted a portrait 30 years ago, and from then on, I let Hongdo take charge of all the painting.”\u003cbr\u003e The last painting that Kim Hong-do presented to King Jeongjo was the eight-panel folding screen “Jubujasiui-do.”\u003cbr\u003e It means a painting that depicts the meaning of the poem by Joo-ja (Ju-bu-ja).\u003cbr\u003e 《Jubujasiui-do》 well captures the era of peace that King Jeongjo wanted to achieve and that the people of the time earnestly hoped for.\u003cbr\u003e It was a world where every household lived happily without going hungry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This thought is captured in a single eight-panel folding screen, like a painting, and is the national treasure, “Samgongbulhwando.”\u003cbr\u003e This is a poem by Daebokgo, a Southern Song Dynasty writer who said he would not trade his secluded life for the position of Samgong (Samjeongseung in Joseon terms). \u003cbr\u003eHowever, all the characters in the painting are Joseon people, and the houses, trees, and rocks in the painting are all Joseon.\u003cbr\u003e On the left side of the painting, Joseon farmers are weeding rice in the field.\u003cbr\u003e The farmer's wife crosses a wooden bridge carrying a basket of sorghum, with a dog in front and a child following behind.\u003cbr\u003e It is so similar to the lovely scenery of our lives today that it touches my heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e No matter how peaceful we live, we cannot avoid getting sick, growing old, and dying.\u003cbr\u003e The treasure, “Chuseongbudo,” is a masterpiece that captures the feelings of Kim Hong-do, who was dying of illness in a state of poverty where he could not even pay the tuition of his 14-year-old son.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Hong-do painted an autumn landscape where all things are falling away and copied Guyangsu's poem \"Chuseongbu\" on top of it, but wrote the last two letters, \"sigh,\" separately on different lines.\u003cbr\u003e The artist's heartbreaking sadness strangely comes to us like words of comfort and touches our lives.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExperience the power of high culture at the K-culture mecca.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tak Hyun-gyu, the best storyteller who explains Korean art in an easy and fun way, shows the essence of Joseon art in this book.\u003cbr\u003e Jeong Seon and Kim Hong-do were painters who were active during the peak of Joseon culture in the 17th and 18th centuries, when Joseon culture was pursuing its own independent path, free from Chinese influence, with the pride that it was the best in the world.\u003cbr\u003e This is why Jeong Seon's \"Inwangjesaek\" and \"Geumgangjeondo\" included in this book are highly regarded as national treasures, and Kim Hong-do's \"Samgongbulhwando\" and \"Chuseongbudo\" are highly regarded as treasures.\u003cbr\u003e These paintings are also popular pieces that capture the attention of visitors at exhibitions held at the National Museum of Korea, Gansong Art Museum, and Ho-Am Art Museum, which are recently referred to as meccas of K-culture.\u003cbr\u003e This book uses high-resolution images provided directly by the art collection as illustrations, vividly conveying even the texture of the background fabric.\u003cbr\u003e We also introduce the 'Lee Kun-hee Collection' donated to the nation by the Samsung family in 2021. \u003cbr\u003eThe beautiful paintings created by the two painters, Jeong Seon and Kim Hong-do, over a period of 130 years provided great rest and comfort to people of old.\u003cbr\u003e Those paintings have reached us after hundreds of years.\u003cbr\u003e I hope that today's readers will also enjoy the moments of relaxation and comfort that Joseon paintings provide.
