EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment from "The Banquet of Seowangmo" an exquisite eight-panel screen painting by the Korean School. The scene depicts the legendary banquet hosted by Seowangmo, also known as Xiwangmu or the Queen Mother of the West, for immortals gathered around Jasper Lake. In this particular detail, guests are seen arriving at the grand celebration held every 3000 years in a lush garden terrace. Seated by the lake's tranquil waters, Seowangmo and her consort Dongwanggong reign over this harmonious gathering surrounded by peach trees symbolizing ripening fruit and abundance. The artwork beautifully portrays elements of yin and yang energy with its depiction of both feminine (yin) and masculine (yang) forces represented through Seowangmo and Dongwanggong respectively. This Taoist-inspired piece not only showcases mythical figures but also explores cosmology, philosophy, theology, and immortalilty within Korean culture. Every intricate brushstroke on silk is brought to life with vibrant ink colors and delicate gold accents. The attention to detail in capturing each guest's attire adds depth to this Far Eastern masterpiece. As viewers immerse themselves in this painting's rich symbolism and religious significance, they are transported into a world where gods mingle with mortals amidst an atmosphere of serenity and joy. Displayed at Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California, USA; this remarkable print invites us to appreciate Korea's artistic heritage while celebrating its mythology, spirituality, beauty, and cultural traditions.
