Subject:Funky Chinese Or Korean Painting Needing Character Translation
Posted By: Gary Knudtzon Fri, Dec 01, 2017 IP: 97.126.123.133

I bought this Stupid looking Painting at the Goodwill Secondhand Shop. I bought it ONLY because I was curious why such a Primitive Child like Painting would have so much Chinese or Korean Character Writing and Seals on it! I realize the Painting is men't to look Primitive so you never know on the value of something like this! far worse Paintings I have seen have sold for many thousands of dollars! Will be returning it to Goodwill if I can't get translation or find out it is just a Stupid Painting!! (can never get the Pictures straight Sorry!!) Thank You Again for your Help! Gary Knudtzon

These naive paintings are not stupid. They are folk art, expressing the everyday life of ordinary people.

Thanks Again I. Nagy! Sorry for Saying it is a Stupid looking Painting ... I just thought it was some kind of cheap tourist Piece with no real value and thought I probably shouldn't bother anybody with it. But was just so curious about why it was signed and Sealed so much. that was the only reason I bought it. Thanks Again!!
