Korean Buddhist...
Lotus & Persimmon is pleased to present a number of framed devotional paintings dating from the early to mid-20th century Buddhist revival. Still little known outside of Korea, quality pieces are becoming harder to find within Korea and prices are rising steadily. Exact dates and provenance are difficult to determine because the artists in this genre were traditionally anonymous, and the upheavals of the 20th century in Korea led to the war-time destruction of many temples and homes, and the loss or undocumented dispersal of their contents.
