Shining on your days

Yim Jiksoon 〈Garden in the Afternoon〉

1972.

Oil on canvas, 145.5×97cm, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea

Flowers and women appear as main subjects in Yim Jiksoon’s works. In particular, a composition with a seated woman is one of main features of Yim’s works. One can almost feel the heat of summer from a sleeveless blue dress and a hat, and a background of Intense green grass and flowers. The diagonally arranged composition breaks the monotony, and the colorful hues of blue, red, and green creates a sense of richness in this work.
