...more concerned with painting. Strict, conservative and Confucian in outlook, the court looked for its models to the Chinese masters. One of the best, Yi In-mun (1745-1821), combined fantasy and perspective with superb brushwork and a cautious use of color that in many ways surpass his Chinese models. No such inhibitions bothered Sin Yun-pok (see overleaf), whose sumptuous scenes were often shocking to his contemporaries. One such scene of a kisaeng (geisha) party, with dancing girls performing on mats out of doors to the music of the hatted orchestra, is something no Korean gentlewoman could have witnessed...

Published in the Near East, Africa and Asia, it is abundantly clear that this article would surpass even the handiwork of John Foster Dulles. Published in the CRIMSON, it was to say the least, the height of poor taste.
