Study of Kuang Kung 1952

This is Seong Moy’s “Study of Kuang Kung”, and it's like a dance captured in ink, maybe even a woodcut. I'm imagining the artist wielding his tools, carving into the wood, each stroke a deliberate, physical act. The brown and black shapes aren’t just sitting still; they’re lunging, diving, maybe even fighting. I wonder if Moy was thinking about movement, about capturing something fleeting and powerful. Look at the way the lines curve and intersect, creating a sense of depth. The texture in the brown areas of the print is gorgeous. It feels like they’re breathing, alive. I get the feeling that this print came from a place of deep feeling and reflection, a conversation with artists from the past, like the German Expressionists, who also had a similar interest in the human form. Ultimately, this "Study of Kuang Kung" isn’t about answers but about posing questions and starting conversations across time, inspiring creativity.
