This important book examines the history, process and significance
of official portrait making during Korea's Joseon dynasty
(1392-1910)-the country's last and longest-ruling Confucian
dynasty. By highlighting significant pieces in the Asian Art Museum
of San Francisco's collection, including draft portraits of Bunmu
meritorious officials and the portrait of Song Siyeol (1607-1689),
it also discusses the complex philosophies and delicate techniques
in the art of portrait making. With more than 95 photos and
illustrations, Likeness and Legacy in Korean Portraiture is the
ultimate guide to this specialized art form and its history. The
inclusion of contemporary works that are related to or inspired by
the portrait-making tradition will demonstrate to readers that this
practice is still thriving in the modern art scene. See the
Likeness and Legacy in Korean Portraiture exhibit at the Asian Art
Museum of San Francisco: April 10 - August 16, 2020.
