Park Su Geun is from Yang Gu, Gangwon do and one of our representative modern artists who experienced Japanese colonial era, independence of afterwards, war and following internal chaos. His painting are roughly divided into three; first, controlled color use and monotone mood, second, the simplicity of the formation and third, tough and thick touch to express texture like stone. These characteristics are matched to the emotion of Korean so we call him , . He used , , , as his subject and especially in tree painting, he emphasized its stem and branches and he didn't drew leaves; they all are having clear and unique characteristics in its forms. And that is an important clue for us to figure out his personality. In this study, we categorized the special feature of trees on his painting to analogize his psychiatric characteristics of them. We used tree painting test from HTP(House-Tree-Person) of Buck(1948) for this analogy. Trees on his paintings were drawn with thick and dark lines, its stems were thick, there were a lot of branches which headed to up and no leaves. In the painting of Park Su Geun, he seems sensitive, sensible and active for a certain goal. He seems also ambitious and had a strong power (power of life) and energy in him. His tree shows his desperate and hard times which he couldn't handle.
