Download or read book Traditional Painting written by Rober Koehler et al. and published by Seoul Selection . This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Korean painting reveals a connectivity with nature that parallels the Korean traditional world view. Living in a dramatic landscape of rugged peaks, deep valleys and broad rivers, Koreans have long held nature in deep reverence. This respect, this yearning for nature is immediately apparent in Korean paintings, whose aesthetic is likened to an "artless art" of gently lines, generous shapes and naturalistic colors. Beauty is found in the big picture rather than the details; paintings exhibit a naturalness that moves the viewer with its humility. Many Korean paintings were painted not by artists, but by ordinary nobles and even commoners. For the people of old Korea, painting was often a part of life, a way to express their inner spirit. Perhaps it is this that makes Korean painting so approachable, so human.

Book excerpt: The eagerly anticipated updated return of a bestselling martial arts classic The leaders of Tae Kwon Do, an Olympic sport and one of the worldÍs most popular martial arts, are fond of saying that their art is ancient and filled with old dynasties and superhuman feats. In fact, Tae Kwon Do is as full of lies as it is powerful techniques. Since its rough beginnings in the Korean military 60 years ago, the art empowered individuals and nations, but its leaders too often hid the painful truths that led to that empowerment „ the gangsters, secret-service agents, and dictators who encouraged cheating, corruption, and murder. A Killing Art: The Untold History of Tae Kwon Do takes you into the cults, geisha houses, and crime syndicates that made Tae Kwon Do. It shows how, in the end, a few key leaders kept the art clean and turned it into an empowering art for tens of millions of people in more than 150 countries. A Killing Art is part history and part biography „ and a wild ride to enlightenment. This new and revised edition of the bestselling book contains previously unnamed sources and updated chapters.
Download or read book Pathways to Korean Culture written by Burglind Jungmann and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pathways to Korean Culture explores the various social, cultural and political perspectives of the Joseon era (1392-1910), introducing the major painting and currents of this dynamic, dynastic period and uncovering the fascinating history of more than 500 years of Korean art and visual culture. Il closely examines the many themes and socio-cultural aspects of the Joseon art world, from the ink painting tradition of the literati elite to the role of women as both patrons and artists. It looks at the various functions paintings had during this period, where they were as important for foreign exchange as they were as a means of escapism. The Joseon dynasty's overarching Confucian ideology was constantly at odds with the culture's Buddhist projects. Burglind Jungmann investigates select clusters of objects to shed light on the multiple layers of personal, intellectual, aesthetic, religious, socio-political and economic contexts in which they are embedded. From palace decorations to formal artworks, Pathways to Korean Culture takes a sweeping, comprehensive look at Korean history and visual culture, exploring its engagement with the West, its political affiliations with China, and its uniquely varied artists and artistic output."--Rabat de la jaquette.
