Biography
Jang was orphaned at a young age and grew up in poverty. He stayed at the homes of a number of people, including Yi Eung-hŏn (이응헌; 李應憲), Pyŏn Wŏn-kyu (변원규; 卞元圭), and Oh Kyŏng-sŏk, where he was exposed to art.[1]
Together with the earlier painters Danwon and Hyewon, Jang is remembered today as one of the "Three Wons" of Joseon-period painting.
