Choe Seok-hwan

Korean

Choe Seok-hwan is a Korean Korean Minhwa artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art.

Choe Seok-hwan painted delicate ink-and-wash paintings in 19th-century Korea. His brush traced everyday subjects like the curling tendrils and plump purple fruits in "Grapevine," a study of nature’s quiet rhythms. The work belongs to the quiet, ink-focused tradition of Korean literati painting, where artists used simple lines and subtle shading to capture the world around them.

See how the grapes seem to catch the light, just a few strokes make them feel real. Tap “Grapevine” to zoom in on the brushwork.
