Bae Ryeom’s House in Gye-dong, Seoul

The house in Gye-dong is a wooden, tile-roofed building with three sections forming a square (ㅁ-shaped) layout, and it was the home of the painter Bae Ryeom. From 1929 he exhibited works such as Late Autumn (Manchu) at the exhibitions of the Seohwa Hyeophoe (Society of Calligraphy and Painting), and from his middle years onward he worked to realise a traditional style of painting, rendering landscapes and bird-and-flower subjects with a gentle, fluid brush. Visitors who remember Bae Ryeom continue to come to this house without interruption.
