Many Koreans are surprised when they first see the paintings in this book. It's hard to believe that they were created during the Chosun Dynasty, an era of Confucianism and rigid stoicism. The book presents the works of such renowned painters as Kim Hong-do and Shin Yun-bok who were known as great artists who focused on the public rather than the ruling aristocrats. While the content of these paintings is more graphic than most artwork of the Chosun era, their artistic sensibility comes through in the use of soft colors and descriptive lines as well as a sense of humor that makes them even more appealing.
