Modern Korean Artists

Meer over het boek

From the foreword by Yim Sung-joonThe Korea Foundation is pleased to present "Modern Korean Artists", the second volume of selections from the quarterly magazine our Koreana, which is intended to promote cross-cultural understanding by providing readers abroad with an introduction of representative Korean artists and their artistic pursuits. The original articles were published between 2000 and 2008[...]For the convenience of readers, the articles have been grouped into five general categories: fine artists, stage performers, musicians, film-related figures and architects. Although the entire spectrum of Korea's modern arts and artists cannot be fully dealt with in a single publication such as this, it does include a close-up view of several key figures who have contributed to the advancement of the modern arts scene in Korea.
