Ebook: Modern Korean Ink Painting

Korean Culture Series #5. The aim of Modern Korean Ink Painting is to further a general understanding of how Korean art and the times it represented were related. Starting with the dawn of the modern age in Korean art (1876-1910), which looks at the legacy of court painting and the last of the literati painters, the book then moves on to the modern art era in Korea (1920-1940), following that up by examining the forces at work during the perpetuation of nationalism, which lasted well into the 1980s.
