Jeong Jong-yeo (1914–1984) was a Korean painter. The pen name was Cheonggye.

Life
He is from Geochang, South Gyeongsang Province. He learned oriental painting from Lee Sang-beom and became a painter, and later moved to Japan to study art in Tokyo and Osaka.

In 1936, when he first won the 15th Joseon Art Exhibition, he won a total of nine awards and special selections in his debut and Seonjeon.

The Changdeokgung Palace, the highest award in Seonjeon, was also recognized for its ability.

At the end of the Japanese colonial period, he participated in pro-Japanese art activities by drawing and exhibiting Japanese transport ships in Seonjeon and submitting works at the exhibition of the art of the battle, a control exhibition. He, who was well versed in Buddhist art, also dedicated "Suho Gwaneum Buddha" to the governor of Ganghwado Island for soldiers who participated in the Pacific War. In 2008, it was included in the art category of the list of prospective candidates for the pro-Japanese biographical dictionary selected by the Institute for Ethnic Affairs.

After liberation, he joined the left-wing art movement, including executives of the Joseon Art Alliance, and joined the Press Federation, an organization that allowed artists who had previously been considered left-wing after the founding of the Republic of Korea to draw posters of anti-communism and education on ideologies. Later, when the Korean War broke out, he returned to the Joseon Artists' Alliance, and went to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to serve as a professor at Pyongyang Art University. In 1964, he became vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Artists' Alliance and was named Distinguished Artist (1974) and People's Artist (1982).

The theme is wide, including arithmetic and figures, and expression techniques such as the unique Molgol preparation method and ink painting of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea are diverse and delicate. Representative works in the early days of North Korea include the Korean War-based folding screen work "The Front of the Goseong People" (1959), which was highly regarded as winning a gold medal at the National Art Exhibition, and since the 1960s, it has been known that the painting style has changed around character themes and colors that faithfully follow the art theory of Juche ideology. Until 1980, he was engaged in creative activities such as publishing "Mugunghwa".

After the lifting of the ban on North Korean artists in 1988, activities and works in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea began to be introduced to South Korea, and Korean paintings "Sparrow" created by depicting children left behind when they defected to North Korea were released. Among the remaining children in South Korea, Jeong Hye-ok became an Oriental painter like her father, and her son, Jeong Hee-jin, who was newly married in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, is also known as a Joseon painter who graduated from Pyongyang Art University.
