Description
The art of the most prominent female artist of Korean modern and contemporary art history, on the occasion of the centenary of her birth.
In celebration of her 100th birthday, this definitive monograph of the enormously influential South Korean artist Chun Kyung-Ja (1924-2015) presents her artwork alongside selections of her much-loved essays and writings to give personal insight into the life and times of this renegade and idiosyncratic artist.
Trained in traditional Asian painting, she developed an innovative style with vivid colors, strong expression, and powerful themes. Her life and art made her a cultural icon, a beacon of individuality in a time of strong conformity.
Published in collaboration with the Chun Kyung-Ja Foundation, founded by the artist's daughter Sumita Kim, this volume includes essays by Eleanor Heartney, Kim Hong-Hee, and Barbara MacAdam.
