Spinning and weaving, from 'Album of Scenes from Daily Life', late Choson dynasty, 19th century. A woman spins the yarn, while a man in the foreground sits at a loom weaving. The late Choson period was a period of relative prosperity in Korea. Chin'gyong, or 'true-view' landscape paintings became fashionable among the scholar literati class, and depicted real scenes from the Korean landscape, rather than those copied from Chinese paintings. Scenes of daily life, such as this one, became popular among the growing middle class. Kim Hong-do was one of the most famous painters of these scenes. This album is one of at least two known copies of Hong-do's famous original. The paintings focus on people and their activities, with the background barely illustrated. Scenes incude schoolroom scenes, wrestling, and other everyday activities. OA, 1961.5-13.04
