책소개

This book discusses the issues of tradition, modernity, and identity of modern and
contemporary art in Korea. Major aspects of the book include Korea’s modernism during the Japanese colonial period, the spread of modernism after the Korean War and art informel, the monochrome art movement, the so-called minjung (people’s) art, revival of ink paintings, and Korean artists overseas, as well as the art of North Korea. It strives to introduce Korean art not only to art lovers or specialists, but to those with a general interest as well.
