Lee쾌대: Reassessing a Korean Modern Master

The variety of Korean musicians revealing their operate in worldwide galleries, galleries and art fairs has actually grown rapidly over the past decade, increasing the value of producing an easily accessible yet nuanced narrative of postwar Korean art. The lately published publication Modern and Contemporary Korean Art in Context (1950– Now) aims to introduce the social, sociopolitical and historic contexts of Oriental art– from traditional ink painting to efficiency and electronic art– to an international audience. Featuring greater than 120 full-colour photos, this strongly illustrated and comprehensive overview works as a necessary reference to vital historic figures, political occasions, exhibitions, musicians, art chroniclers and art doubters.

This book reestablishes to the 21st century a Korean painter whose life and legacy have actually long been fragmented and misunderstood due to political scenarios. A critical figure in Korean Modern art, Lee was recognized for his large, human-centred paintings influenced by Mexican muralism. Complying With the Oriental War, he was sent out to North Korea as part of a prisoner-of-war exchange. There, he remained to paint prolifically up until his sudden loss and assumed cleanup in the early 1960s. Jinyoung Anna Jin suggests that Lee’s artistic success– often reduced to tags such as “defector” or “ideological target”– call for a much deeper, extra nuanced exam.
