Spanning the transformative decades following the Korean War, this landmark volume foregrounds the personal correspondences between four pioneering artists—Kim Tschang-Yeul, Kim Whanki, Lee Ufan, and Park Seo-Bo—as critical primary documents in the development of modern Korean art. Featuring newly translated, previously unpublished letters reproduced at actual size, The Making of Modern Korean Art offers an unprecedented window into the artistic, philosophical, and logistical challenges of forging a distinctly Korean modernism. The book also serves as a comprehensive English-language survey of Korean abstraction, from the birth of Informel to the emergence of Dansaekhwa.
