Musician

I came across a Korean drawing by Kim Hongdo entitled Dancing Boy. The drawing is of a group of musicians and a dancing boy in the foreground. I drew one of the musicians playing the pipe. The original drawing was done in 1775 it amazes me how much of the artwork from Asia’s past looks so modern and how easily it could pass for something done nowadays. Looking at an art book where it shows past artwork from around the world chronologically it really impresses upon you how advanced Asian culture was (and probably is).
