Although this diplomatic mission to Beijing endured only two months, Kim Jung-hee developed a close friendship with the renowned litterateur, confucian scholars and painters at that time. This communication experience helped Kim Jung-hee open his eyes and accept advanced ideas and viewpoints in Qing Dynasty at that time. He gradually established his unique understandings on painting and became an important figure leading the last phase of Choson painting.BR Throughout Kim Jung-hee’s paintings, two-thirds are dark-inked orchids, which has been thought as a theme mostly reflects his aesthetic ideas. 〈Orchid and Caligraphy〉 is Kim Jung-hee’s early painting, which was largely influenced by Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou both in the compositions and skills. He quoted many poems of Zheng Xie on the painting work and most compositions and skills are similar to Luo Pin.BR So this article will review the paintings of Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou which have spread to Choson or have been inspected by Kim Jung-hee so as to discover the influence by Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou on Kim Jung-hee and the positive influence of Kim Jung-hee’s painting ideas and styles on his own late painting works and on his students and even on the last phase of paintings in Choson as a whole.
