Crane with Autumn Grass, late 19th century, Yang Gihun, Korean, 1843 - ca. 1909, 50 3/8 x 19 5/8 in. ( x cm) (image), Ink on silk, Korea, 19th century, Yang Gihun was a member of the Royal Academy of Painting at the end of the Joseon Dynasty. Despite the official nature of his position, however, his style reflects the untrammeled spirt of a literati artist. He is best known for his paintings of birds and plants, which he rendered in a delightfully abbreviated and naive style. Yang's inscription alludes to his dream journey to Jiangnan in China
