| Six-Panel Chaekkori Screen. Old Chaekkori (Korean Scholar's Items Screen) like this are rare. This is the oldest Chaekkori that we have ever offered for sale. Chaekkori, screens depicting books and scholar's items, are abundant with symbols of diligence, motivation, good fortune and virtue. Chaekkori Screens are uniquely Korean, despite the fact that many of the items depicted in a Chaekkori are Chinese. The Choson Dynasty Korean scholar had much respect for Chinese art and learning, but expressed that admiration in a uniquely Korean manner through Chaekkori. We see items here that indicate refined comfort, but more important than the sense of gentility that is conveyed, is the ideal of self-improvement to which everyone could aspire: rich or poor, young or old. Though the items depicted were not readily available to the poor, the Chaekkori could inspire them nonetheless. Adults enjoyed them, but they would also be placed in children's rooms to teach them the value and beauty of culture and learning. French artists as early as the 1880's saw ideas in this genre that they imported into their own art. 106 x 73 inches, 269 x 185.5 cm. | ||
