Description 작품 소개
In this landmark volume, art historian You Hong-June reveals that the Korean “look” is not a modern invention, but a legacy thousands of years in the making. From the mountain temples of the 9th century to the simple elegance of 18th-century moon jars, this book traces the evolution of a culture that managed to carve out a distinct identity between the other giants of East Asia.
Current international interest in Korea is at an all-time high, yet there is a glaring deficiency of authoritative foreign-language volumes on the history of Korean art. This book provides the historical and philosophical context for Korean art, from the minimalism of white porcelain to the “borrowed scenery” of Korean architecture. As such, it promises to be an essential purchase for international readers captivated by modern Korea.
Written specifically for an international audience, Korean Art History for International Readers eschews the traditional chronological method in tracing the history of art for a more genre-based approach, to offer an engaging, accessible experience for foreign audiences. Whether you are a student of history, a lover of design, or a newcomer drawn in by hallyu, this book will provide a better understanding of the Korean aesthetic.
Unlike existing texts, this manuscript employs a comparative East Asian framework. The author places Korean developments alongside those of China and Japan, for instance, by contrasting the “scholar spirit” of Joseon with the “bushido warrior spirit” of Japan. In doing so, the book helps readers navigate unfamiliar territory using useful comparative references.
