Myung Mario Jung
Early Impressionist Native American Chief
ca. 1980s
Available Soon for Purchase
This is an extremely rare impressionistic work by famed Master South Korean Artist Mario Jung. Early in Mario's career, he was fascinated by the American West and began painting scenes depicting the American west.
Mario produced many paintings of Pueblo scenes of dwellings & pottery which, unfortunately are not highly sought after. His stunningly realist life art i.e. Ballerina and this impressionistic Native American Chief art is an entirely different world for collectors. These works by Mario are so rare they are considered his uncommon works and when discovered, are quickly placed into private collections. This is one of those rare pieces by Master Mario!
Mario has since used his mastery of art to produce stunning transcendental pastoral settings which has attracted a strong following with some of his works being offered in well-known & boutique galleries in excess of $9,000.
It is noted that art of the old Native American West has always had a strong following, even global. The interest becomes intense when a notable master artist applies his creative genius to the canvas and creates a dynamic impressionistic portrait that demands attention from its intense visual character!
History: This vintage textured sand/oil painting on canvas had been removed from its stretcher, then rolled, causing vertical & other cracks of varying degrees in the painting. Later in its life span, the canvas had been un-rolled and placed into an inexpensive frame under plexiglass. This then was the 'un-cared' for condition we found it in when we purchased it.
We couldn't help but look past its deplorable condition. We knew we were looking at a masterful work of art! We didn't know who the artist was and in fact, it took a year before we were able to decipher its signature mark, with help, that this painting was an early Mario Jung impressionist work.
Recently, we brought the painting to one of the top fine art framing shops in Las Vegas, NV and had the canvas pressed & sheet bonded to a backer board & framed. The framing gallery performed nearly a miracle with this canvas. The cracks have nearly become invisible to the eye. It's strong appeal of feeling the textured oil sand surface brings the strength of this painting back to life.
Here are a few additional photographs of this painting. We took over 30 photos of this painting from varius angles, distances, areas of interest, Mario's Artist Mark etc.
