Painting of Peonies by Park No Soo aka Nam Jeong (1927-2013). Just the first page of a google search reveals both the acclaim that Park No Soo gained internationally, and the adoration he received in Korea. His style and palette is instantly recognizable. Here, the flowers are so vibrant they seem to be moving. This beautiful, contemplative painting is a fine example of his inimitable, expressive brushwork. The peony, with its large and abundant petals, is an ancient symbol of love and prosperity in Korea. The Park No Soo Museum opened in 2013 in Seoul's Jongno District, Jongno's first public museum. Park No Soo was a student of Yi Sang Beom, who was a student of An Jung Sik, who was a student of Jang Seung Eop, the very best possible lineage of Korean art royalty. Watercolors and ink on paper. Frame: 26.5 x 22 inches, 67 x 56 cm; Painting: 20 x 15.5 inches, 51 x 39 cm.
