Minhwa(민화/民畵) ?
Paintings that were drawn by normal people who didn't get professional drawing education during Joseon period. Those were shared among common people with a practical purpose, to decorate wall or folders / products. There were about 10 topics like flower-birds, sea animals, tigers, 10 long live animals, landscape, old-story telling, letterings and etc. Drawers are mostly unknown. Its characteristics are humors, free form and vivid colors.
Minhwa is evaluated very Korean and meaninful that shows common ppl's values.

Major painters'

they all look really nice. I remember going to 설악산 and around there there was a master 도자기 craftsman.
His works were really impressive, each of his works were worth over 10억.
the big ones anyway.

these are really pretty =), i have one that I bought when I went to korea ^^ course it's just a print.

Korean drawing does look like Chinese... afterall I believe that they come from the same culture during earlier stages... and you know what I saw some drawing that doesn't look like Min Hwa for that there were hanguk on the paper haha....
