Description
A full-color account of Tansaekhwa, Korea's influential monochromatic painting movement, is presented in this richly illustrated book. Written by Joan Kee, it provides a fresh interpretation of the movement's emergence and meaning, shedding new light on abstraction, twentieth-century Asian art, and contemporary art. Kee focuses on an essential but often overlooked dimension of Tansaekhwa: how artists made a case for abstraction as a way to engage productively with the world. The book combines close readings, archival research, and interviews with leading Tansaekhwa artists, exploring how they addressed fundamental questions in their work. This book offers a unique perspective on the significance of Tansaekhwa, set against the backdrop of the Cold War, decolonization, and martial law in South Korea.
