No Su-hyeon (1899-1978 / pen-name: Simsan), widely regarded as one of the representative painters of Korean modern art, established his own unique painting style. Against the backdrop of a lofty mountain, the painting depicts a rural scene of fields and valleys, with several trees adding a little variation to the peaceful landscape. It differs from other traditional landscape paintings in that the scene is entirely filled with natural features on a background featuring an overall green tone. In addition, the large tile-roofed house in the forest and the ploughed fields next to the stream show that the painter was completely committed to expressing the scene with elaborate brush strokes and outstanding creativity. This painting bears the signature of the painter on the bottom left side along with Chinese characters reading ‘Simsan,’ while the seal of Bosung College stamped on the back suggests that it was painted at the request of Bosung College, which the painter once attended. The painting holds great historical value both as No Su-hyeon’s most famous work of the 1920s and because it shows the how the prevailing trend shifted from traditional landscape to modern-style painting.
