Park Rehyun (1920–1976) was an artist who adapted her style to the times and her surroundings, building on the foundation of traditional color painting techniques. In the 1940s, she began with realistic figure paintings learned during her studies in Japan. In the 1950s, she developed compositions that combined simplified lines with geometric forms. In the 1960s, inspired by her travels in Latin America and her stay in the United States, she experimented with abstract compositions. In the early 1970s, she explored the combination of non-figurative elements and representational imagery through printmaking and tapestry techniques. In 1937, she studied watercolor and Oriental painting under Eguchi Keishiro at Kyŏngsŏng Women’s Normal School. She entered the Teacher Training Course in the Department of Japanese Painting at Joshibi University of Art and Design in Tokyo in 1941, graduating in 1944. After returning to Korea, she held solo exhibitions and continued joint exhibitions with her husband, Kim Ki-chang. She received the Presidential Award at the 5th National Art Exhibition of Korea in 1956, exhibited at the São Paulo Biennale in 1967, and from 1969 to 1974 expanded her artistic scope while studying printmaking in New York.
