Kang Hui-on [cha Kyongun; ho Tamjol]
(b 1710; d after 1781). Korean painter. After passing the military examination in 1754, he took up a military post. Although he is not counted among the literati painters, it is clear that he had contact with them. Nearly all his surviving paintings bear inscriptions by KANG SE-HWANG, and an eight-panelled screen (ink and colour on silk, each panel 909*429 mm) painted by Kim Hong-do (see KIM (iv), (1)) in 1778 bears an inscription by Kang Hui-on (Seoul, N. Mus.; see An Hwi-jun, 1985, pls 118–20). Kim Hong-do further painted a scroll (1781; Seoul, priv. col.) to commemorate a gathering, depicting Kang Hui-on in the company of himself and a third person.
