Korean Culture Series

The fifth edition of the Korea Foundation's "Korean Culture Series," entitled "Modern Korean Ink Painting,"and the sixth edition, "Maedeup"(traditional Korean craft of cord knotting), have recently been published.
"Modern Korean Ink Painting," written in English by Professor Chung Hyung-min of Seoul National University, reflects upon the developments in Korean art over the 100 years from 1876, when Korea was forced to open its ports to foreigners and Western cultural influences, through the 1980s. Major historical events, such as the collapse of the Joseon Dynasty, colonial rule by Japan, Korea's independence in 1945, division of the Korean peninsula into South and North Korea, and the political democratization and development of pop culture in South Korea, have been reflected in contemporary art trends and the development of diverse artistic styles. In particular, the author seeks to define the significance of "Modern" in Korean art history and helps the readers to understand how Korea's traditional aesthetics and art forms have evolved and the response of Korean art to periods of historical upheaval.
"Maedeup," written by Kim Hee-jin, a Maedeup master designated by the government as Intangible Cultural Asset No. 22, explains the craftsmanship and elegance of the traditional Korean craft of , as well as its history and development, which demonstrates how Maedeup has evolved into a new art form based on modern art influences.
