Egret and Reeds, late 1800s. Creator: Yang Ki-hun (Seuk-Eun) (Korean, 1843-1919?)
Egret and Reeds, late 1800s. In this hanging scroll, an egret walks along the shores of a salt marsh where reeds abundantly grow. Native to Pyongyang, the artist Yang Ki-hun had no rival in bird-and-flower themes. The Taedong River estuary, one of Pyongyangs beloved natural sites, may have been Yangs favorite spot to observe and sketch various water birds. Yang treated his subjects of flora and fauna with an observant naturalists view, yet his choice of subjects--an egret and reeds--is deeply rooted in traditional symbolic language: the egret stands for the scholarly reclusive life, while reeds indicate humility and modesty
