The Cultivation of Art in the Far East
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a momentous journey embarked upon by members of an Amateur Sketching Club. This enchanting engraving, created by Joseph Nash, transports us back to 1889 when a group of art enthusiasts set sail on a yacht, commencing their artistic exploration of the picturesque Corea. In this scene, we witness the visitors abandoning their sailboats and finding themselves in a beautiful spot that beckons them to halt. The close proximity to nature seems to put all other concerns into abeyance as they immerse themselves in the delights of this far-off land. As our eyes wander through the image, we observe instances where artists combine relaxation with critical contemplation. Some sit on native boats sketching diligently while others indulge in leisurely activities like savoring claret or observing Corean sheep grazing peacefully nearby. The artist's hands are pronouncedly displeased as he criticizes his own work, deeming it impossible to capture the essence of this little-known art form. However, amidst these self-criticisms lies an energetic fellow who has left no stone unturned in his introduction to Corean architecture and culture. Despite occasional demoralization and accidents along the way (such as an omnivorous pig swallowing one artist's tubes of colors), these sketching excursions have proven admirable for fostering creativity and camaraderie among club members. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst busy lives filled with responsibilities, it is essential not to abandon our artistic pursuits. Let us draw inspiration from these dedicated artists who ventured into unknown lands seeking enlightenment through brushstrokes and good quills.
