The Essentials of Korean Art History: Key Works, Themes, Names, and Techniques
19.99 €
Korean art is currently experiencing a boom in popularity - but mostly in movies and TV series (doramas). However, the bright facade of mass culture hides a huge space of traditional art with a history of 6-8 millennia. Elena Khokhlova, a PhD candidate in art history and associate professor at the School of Oriental Studies of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, specializes in the history of Korean art. In her book, she consistently and carefully dismantles this canvas of a foreign culture, woven from stable symbols, unique themes and techniques, into separate threads, explaining what they mean and how they are related to each other. Concisely, yet with meticulous attention to detail, the author introduces the reader to the rich art history of the Korean peninsula, including through the analysis of specific works, from the Neolithic to the present.
