In this chapter, we have describe how an art historian would approach the subject of shaman paintings and provide a general sense of what these paintings mean in shamanic practice. We describe how similar paintings were used in the past and the probable links between court painters who provided paintings as the foci of shrine workshop in dynastic times and some of the paintings used by shamans. We discuss the role of monk painters in producing paintings for shamans in the Seoul region, visionary painters, and the distinctions between paintings used by Seoul shamans and those used by shamans who perform in the tradition of Hwanghae Province. We describe changes in production methods, materials, and iconic content over the last century.
