Kim Whanki, the pioneer of Korean abstract art, expressed a Korean sentiment and sense of beauty through understated formative language by choosing natural and traditional subjects such as mountains, rivers, the moon, cranes, Japanese apricots, and moon jars. Untitled, a work belonging to the period when he studied in Paris, concisely expresses the shapes of the round moon, mountains, and birds flying above them as simple stylized lines and shapes, thereby displaying abstractness.
