🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"What kind of calm dwells within labor that has become second nature?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
A man with his upper body bared slices tobacco with a fodder-cutter, while the one beside him reads a book, fanning himself. Kim Hong-do painted the midday of working people without reserve. In this painting I see the natural rhythm of labor. Even hard work, once it settles into the hands, finds its own beat and ease. One slices and another reads; even the workplace carries the grain of life. The painter's gaze, which did not regard the place of sweat as shameful, is honest.
