Korean artists are a permanent fixture on today's international art
scene, as interest in modern and contemporary art from South as
well as North Korea has grown in strength. Museums and individual
collectors eager to tap into this rising market are acquiring many
more Korean artworks. But how are we to understand Korean art and
its cultural significance? What has led to the formation of Korea's
cultural scene as we know it today, and what role have artists
played in this process? These are some of the questions that frame
the narrative in this richly illustrated history of Korean art from
the late nineteenth century to the present day - a period which
coincided with enormous and rapid political, social and economic
change. From artists' first encounters with oil paintings in the
late nineteenth century to the varied and vibrant creative outputs
of the 2000s, the book covers a critical and, from a cultural
perspective, revolutionary period, signified by the breakdown of
earlier artistic conventions and the rise of new art forms. Within
this historical trajectory, Charlotte Horlyck explores artists'
interpretations of new and traditional art forms ranging from oil
and ink paintings to video art, multi-media installations,
ready-mades and performance, and their questions about the role of
art and the artist's position within society. This book will appeal
equally to general and specialist readers wanting to explore this
rich and fascinating epoch in Korea's cultural history.
