Subject:identify Korean artist
Posted By: Korwegian Mon, Feb 09, 2015 IP: 73.8.17.28

i have a painting from Korea with Chinese scripture that I am having trouble identifying. The painting, on paper, is supposedly produce in the 1950 and the artist is no longer living. I was giving a link to a exhibit that could be by the same artist. I am including the link and uploading pictures. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

李億荣 is the artist's name, romanized in your exhibition captions as Yi Eon Yung (surname is Yi), though nothing shows up when that romanization is run through Google. However the characters return the following page, which includes a photo of the artist at the bottom.

The artist's surname can also be romanized as either Lee or Rhee, so there may be more information available in English but only if you can find someone able to render his name in romanization that is more commonly used.
