AMENDMENTS ( Please refer to notes) :KIM JUN-GEUN (KISAN, KOREAN, late 19th-early 20th century), ink and colour on silk, a set of fourteen genre paintings, each signed and inscribed to upper right, 26cm x 34.5cm, glazed framesSlight foxing to each, but generally in good conditionNotes: Kisan focused on genre scenes depicting everyday life in Korea including its many rites, crafts, and customs. These were already disappearing by the time Kisan was painting in the late 19th and early 20th century. His works were primarily acquired in port areas such as Pusan and Wonsan as souvenirs by Western travellers, who came in great numbers after Korea was forcibly opened up by Japan in 1876.Today his genre scenes are valuable repositories of knowledge for ethnologists and cultural historians, with examples in The British Museum, the Rijksmuseum, The State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow, and the Smithsonian Institution in the US.
