Minhwa art quite literally translates to "painting of the people" or "popular painting", and this style of art is a genre made for Korean commoners. An unorthodox style of Korean art, minhwa exemplifies expressive freedom and the inner dreams and thoughts of the people. Although minhwa lacks the refined elegance of traditional Korean paintings, its unconventional uniqueness in its layout and vibrant colors are significant to the diversified scope of Korean art aesthetic.
