🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"When painting a person, what does the painter see beyond the face?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
Chae Yong-sin was a painter who copied a sitter's outward form with precision, yet sought to hold the grain of the heart behind it. The composed bearing and the lines of the folded garments in this portrait of a beauty are not merely a boast of beauty, but a showing of how a person tends to herself and stands before the world. In this portrait I see that grooming is not only for the eyes of others but an attitude of respect toward oneself. How one chooses to sit is the very way one treats oneself.
