Korean artist Kim Tschang-yeul, best known for his water drop paintings, passed away Tuesday at the age of 91.
Kim was one of the most influential artists who shaped modern Korean art. His hyperrealistic portrayal of water drops embodies eastern and western values. Painting water drops is to heal all memories, all anguishes, anxieties by water, the artist once said.
Born in 1929 in Maengsan, South Pyongan Province, now North Korea, Kim moved to the South at the age of 16. He entered the Seoul National University Art School via a qualification exam in 1948, but could not continue his studies after he was ostracized for studying Lee Que-de, who defected to North Korea.
