A word from MD
[The more you know, the more interesting the story of ancient Joseon art] If you’re curious about how our ancestors lived in the Joseon Dynasty, when there were no photos? The answer can be found in ancient art. Focusing on paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries in the late Joseon Dynasty, from the works of seven genius painters such as Kim Hong-do and Jeong Seon to royal court records. A full-fledged ‘Introductory Guide to Joseon Art’ that has fun unraveling old paintings that seemed difficult. – Art MD Yuri Kim
“An exhibition like no other in the world,
We invite you to the Joseon Art Museum.”

Meet special moments of Joseon through genre paintings and royal court records

The birth of an unprecedented book that contains genre paintings and court records of Joseon at the height of culture in one volume! A new book titled Chosun Museum of Art by Tak Hyeon-gyu, the best commentator on antiques, which hits the jackpot at every exhibition planned and excites the audience at every lecture, has been published. It is a special art book that doubles the pleasure of seeing as it introduces the works of seven genius painters of Joseon, including Shin Yun-bok, Jeong Seon, and Kim Hong-do, as well as the record album of King Sukjong and Yeongjo, who enjoyed a peaceful era.

The author reinterprets and reinterprets the excellent directing skills of the Joseon Dynasty painters by modern standards. In Shin Yun-bok’s paintings, ‘the contrast between red and blue clothes, looking inside the house from a high place outside the fence, using the floor that connects the open room and the yard as a stage, and directing the psychological state with the eyes’ can be applied to modern movies and dramas. In addition to discovering unique directing methods that are not comparable, they also discover the first law of true landscape painting, ‘It’s not fun if you finish drawing’ in the paintings of Jeong Seon and Kim Hong-do. This is the moment when the value of an old painter is newly elevated by the author’s keen interpretation.

Even before the introduction of photography, paintings were important clues to reading the times and good historical records. From this point of view, the author selected 50 paintings that showed the characteristics of the late Joseon Dynasty, which enjoyed a peaceful era, and included them in this book. Let’s enter the Joseon Museum of Art now, where you can enjoy beautiful old paintings and vivid history, from genre paintings depicting the colorful daily lives of the people to documentary paintings depicting auspicious events in the royal family and high society.

  1. Klaus Sommerfeld from Zürich, Schweiz –

    Betrachten Sie ein Stillleben in einem Zürcher Museum und lassen Sie die Gedanken über Ihr eigenes Leben erblühen, wenn der Glanz des Pinselstrichs unaufhörlich erzählt.

  2. Arjun – Jaipur, India –

    ये किताब कुछ समय के लिए क्यूरेटेड कला को दिखाती है। पेंटिंग अच्छी हैं लेकिन मेरे ख्याल से थोड़ा बड़ा हो सकता था। एंथमेश ट्रैवल करता कर हिना जो यूआयन तक अद्भुत बेथहा छवि स्टॉली शो कमपैक किया होता. पेपर क्वॉलिटी ठीक है, और जब ये मिला तो मुझे बहुत देर लगी, सविधान्त कटिया सामर्थ लोगोडूंगे..
