Hem Wechakorn (1903-1969)
Bangkok, Thailand
Apprenticed under an Italian painter, Carlo Rigoli while commissioned
to do a series of murals at Anandhasamakom Throne Hall.
*Later, he synthesized local expression of line illustration
and mural painting with the Western academic technique. His own
style became a trade mark ; he introduced anatomy, chiaroscuro,
and perspectival devices in his illustrations on traditional
subjects. In 1930, Hem painted the mural at War Phra Sri Rattanasasdaram,
taking special care to show his understanding of anatomy and
three-dimensional figures.
Hem, however, became best known for his illustrations for
the Ploenchit Press and for Bodaeng magazine. During the 1930s
and 1940s, he drew thousands of ink drawings to accompany anthologies
of folk-tales and stories published in various magazines.
