| korean calligraphy artist: Beyond Line Stephen Little, Virginia Moon, 2019-05-28 Spanning two millennia and including nearly 150 works of art, this elegant book traces the history of Korean calligraphy from the first century to the present. Offering an extraordinary window into Korean culture, this magnificent volume brings a multidisciplinary approach to the history of Korean writing--from the earliest texts from the Three Kingdoms period to its use in contemporary art. Beyond Line discusses the social and cultural conditions that led to the creation of calligraphic works by a wide range of people, including kings, queens, officials, scholars, painters, monks, and even slaves. It also explores the variety of materials employed in the creation of the art--from paper, ink, and bamboo to ceramics, silk, and metal. In addition, it looks at how calligraphy was used both to maintain Korea's historical class structure and, as literacy spread, to incite social change for women, merchants, and other segments of society. The authors explore how the invention of the hangeul phonetic script led to a more global identity for Korea, and how this script continues to shape contemporary art and design. Beyond Line illuminates the restrained beauty, strength, and flexibility of Korean calligraphy. Copublished by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and DelMonico Books |

| korean calligraphy artist: Brushed in Light Abé Markus Nornes, 2021-02-22 Drawing on a millennia of calligraphy theory and history, Brushed in Light examines how the brushed word appears in films and in film cultures of Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and PRC cinemas. This includes silent era intertitles, subtitles, title frames, letters, graffiti, end titles, and props. Markus Nornes also looks at the role of calligraphy in film culture at large, from gifts to correspondence to advertising. The book begins with a historical dimension, tracking how calligraphy is initially used in early cinema and how it is continually rearticulated by transforming conventions and the integration of new technologies. These chapters ask how calligraphy creates new meaning in cinema and demonstrate how calligraphy, cinematography, and acting work together in a single film. The last part of the book moves to other regions of theory. Nornes explores the cinematization of the handwritten word and explores how calligraphers understand their own work. |

| korean calligraphy artist: Art Under Control in North Korea Jane Portal, 2005-08-15 Nuclear bombs and geopolitical controversy are often the first things associated with North Korea and its volatile leader Kim Jong-II.

Art Under Control in North Korea is the first Western publication to explore the state-controlled role of art in North Korea.

Portal offers an incisive analysis that compares the dictatorial control exerted over artists by North Korean leaders to that of past regimes.

| korean calligraphy artist: Hanji Unfurled Aimee Lee, 2012 With a history of well over 1,500 years, Korean handmade paper, known as hanji, is familiar to Koreans but a mystery outside its home country. This lustrous paper that comes in a wide array of thickness, color, dimension, and translucency was once a coveted item inside and beyond Korean borders. Made by farmers and artisans during bitter cold winters, hanji was a noble marker of the literati who demanded high-quality paper for books, documents, calligraphy, and painting. Hanji also played a sacred role as the support for illuminated sutras, the body of temple decorations, and spirit of rituals where it was burned in hopes that its ashes would rise to the sky. Fashioned into objects that ranged from kites to armor to shrouds to chamber pots, there was seemingly no end to the possibilities of the combination of human ingenuity and paper through the transformation of natural fibers, until forces of history and industrialization collided and left this once-celebrated substrate and its related craft practices near extinction. In this first English-language book about hanji, Aimee Lee shares her experience as a Korean-American artist and Fulbright fellow on her search for a traditional Korean papermaking teacher. Of the handful of American hanji researchers, she is the only one to have interacted with Koreans in their own language while simultaneously learning the craft. This book follows her journey as she met papermakers, scholars, and artists from bustling cities to traditional Korean villages to Buddhist temples to island outposts. Not only did she encounter the few remaining papermakers who still practice webal tteugi, the indigenous Korean sheet-formation method, but she found teachers of a whole array of allied crafts that include jiseung-cording and weaving hanji, joomchi-texturing and felting hanji, natural dyeing, and calligraphy. She traveled from the studios of living treasures to the homes of ordinary Koreans, illuminating an often-misunderstood culture through stories from its keepers of traditional heritage.

| korean calligraphy artist: Introduction to Korea Gilad James, PhD, Korea is a fascinating country located in East Asia, divided into two distinct regions: North Korea and South Korea. Korea has a long and complex history, with its civilization starting around 1392 when the Joseon Dynasty was founded. For several centuries, Korea's strategic location has made it the sight of several invasions and colonization attempts, including Japan's colonial rule over Korea from 1910 to 1945. The Korean War, which took place from 1950 to 1953, also impacted the Korean people, resulting in separation of North and South Korea. Despite a challenging past and political differences, South Korea has become a significant economic powerhouse and an entertainment hub, while North Korea remains a secretive and repressive state. South Korea, also known as the Republic of Korea (ROK), is a dynamic and modern country that is home to numerous corporations, including Samsung and LG. South Korea has undergone significant economic growth, and it has become one of the world's leading economies. Yet despite its economic success, South Korea is also home to some of the most unique cultures, including distinctive cuisine, traditional music, and festivals. South Korea is also famous for its entertainment industry, including music (K-pop), television dramas (K-dramas), and movies. North Korea is an enigma, rarely seen or heard about beyond government propaganda. It is led by the Kim dynasty and maintains strict control over its citizens. Over the years, North Korea has become famous for its nuclear program and human rights abuses, making it a topic of international concern. Despite their differences, both North and South Korea have an intricate and fascinating history and culture that continues to captivate the world. |

| korean calligraphy artist: The Space Between: The Modern in Korean Art Virginia Moon, 2022-09-13 Featuring over 130 artworks--some previously unpublished--this richly illustrated volume is essential for understanding modern art in Korea and how it evolved to meet the contemporary global context In The Space Between, a generative period in Korean art between the traditional and the contemporary is illuminated comprehensively for the first time. After the centuries-long Joseon dynasty came 35 uninterrupted years of the Japanese colonial period (1910-45) followed by the Korean War (1950-53). During this tumultuous time, Korean artists grappled with issues such as identity and nationalism and experimented with a broad range of media. The book is organized into five categories: The Modern Encounter-- foreign influences enter the country in a significant way in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; The Modern Response--how foreign methods are accepted or rejected; The Pageantry of the New Woman (Sinyeoseong) Movement--modern women's attitudes; The Modern Momentum--advances in using foreign styles; and Evolving into the Contemporary--a glimpse into the contemporary. Most notable during this period are the introductions of photography, sculpture and oils, which arrived via Japan and came to define modern art in Korea. At the same time, traditional ink painting reinvented itself: works grew larger in scale while keeping traditional landscape motifs with alterations in the use of color and composition. Artists of modern ink believed that theirs was the true future of modern art, unsullied by elements found in the West. By the end of the Korean War, the magnified status of the US made way for access to American abstract art and, indirectly, European informel. For nearly a decade, abstract expressionist and informel styles dominated Korean art. The volume concludes in the 1960s, setting the stage for contemporary art in Korea. |

| korean calligraphy artist: The Korean Alphabet Young-Key Kim-Renaud, 2021-05-25 The Korean alphabet, commonly known as han'gul, has been called one of the greatest intellectual achievements of humankind. Experts agree that few writing systems can match its simplicity and efficiency, its elegance and intelligence. The only alphabet completely native to East Asia, han'gul distinguishes itself among writing systems of the world with its scientific qualities and unusual linguistic fit to the Korean language. Most strikingly, the theoretical underpinnings of the language, as well as the time and circumstances of its creation, are clearly known and recorded. Han'gul was invented in 1443 and promulgated in 1446 by King Sejong (1418-1450), sage ruler of the Yi dynasty (1392-1910). This volume, the first book-length work on han'gul in English by Korean-language specialists, is comprised of ten essays by the most active scholars of the Korean writing system. An instructive commentary by eminent linguist Samuel Martin follows, offering perceptive comments on the essays as well as a discussion on Martin's own research findings on the script. |

| korean calligraphy artist: Asian Aesthetics Ken-ichi Sasaki, 2011-01-01 While the artistic traditions of the various countries of East, Southeast and South Asia display distinctive aesthetic features, this volume examines the qualities of each area, and seeks commonalities that define the aesthetics of a broader Asian civilization. Contributors includes specialists in philosophy, literature, art history, religion and the comparative study of cultures. Some of them are writing from within their own cultural traditions while others approach their subjects as outside observers. The book is divided into five sections, dealing with Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indian and Southeast Asian aesthetics. Individual chapters provide in-depth investigations of specific traditions, embracing both classical as well as modern aesthetic forms. The author suggest that Japanese culture is characterized by an openness to diverse cultural influences, Korean culture by peninsularity, Chinese culture by parallels with the West, Indian culture by rasa (a kind of cosmic feeling that is distinct from one who feels), and Southeast Asian culture by dilemmas of modernization. The volume as a whole integrates these studies, clarifying essential elements of each aesthetic culture and drawing on this material to characterize an Asian civilization that transcends individual countries and cultures. |
