Yun Yeol-su: Folk Painting(English Edition)

Folk paintings portray the simple and unaffected daily lives of ordinary people. An invaluable part of Korea’s cultural heritage, folk paintings illustrate the mythology, religion, and mindset of the Korean people. They are also the artistic expression of people who drew paintings to decorate their houses and to celebrate auspicious family occasions, such as weddings or sixtieth birthdays. Folk paintings are far from being sophisticated art. Rather, they are a popular art form that allows anyone to appreciate and enjoy them. Therefore, appreciating folk paintings does not require much effort. Instead, it is sufficient simply to imagine what life was like in the past.
