Paperback. Zustand: Gut. 473 p. , ill. In good condition. - Foreword -- Over the past decade a growing number of students have been taking my Korean art course. Inexpensive and easily accessible reference books in English on Korean art are in great demand. This small book on Korean Buddhist Sculpture is one of a new series of monographs in English on Korean art, intended for students and as a quick reference for anyone who is interested in Korean art. The illustrations in this volume were chosen initially from the Yekyong series of Pulsang (Buddhist Sculpture), by Kwak Dong-sök published in Korean, but a number of images which were not included in the Korean Version have been added, for instance Buddhist images in stone. The limitations of space and the nature of this book have dictated a selection of the most representative images of particular periods or styles. For instance it was not possible to discuss all the images of the Sokkuram Buddhist cave, each of which is a masterpiece. Sokkuram alone would need a whole book to discuss properly. The same would be the case with the stone images on Namsan, the sacred mountain close to the Silla Capital Kyöngju. -- Over a period of some one thousand five hundred years, Buddhism became an indispensable and integral part of Korean culture, revolutionizing Korean thinking and Korean perceptions of the past, present and future life. The images presented here are just a small selection of Korean interpretations of the divine intended for worship and as expressions of devotion. It is to be regretted that only two Buddhist sculptures from collections in North Korea (figs. 07-1, 057-1) could be included in this volume. I hope the day will soon come when scholars can work together to cncompass the entire Korean heritage. -- Without the extensive and thorough researches by a number of specialists on Korean sculpture, especially those by Chin Hong-sup, Hwang Su-yong, Kang Woo-bang, Kim Lena and Mun Myong-dae, I could not have written this volume. Generally, I have followed their dating. In some cases though I have had to rely on my own judgement, as their dating differs, and I have tried to interpret some works from different angles. I am solely responsible for any shortcomings. I am grateful to my co-author Roderick Whitfield who has always given me valuable suggestions based on his extensive knowledge of East Asian and particularly Chinese Buddhist art. Most of all, we are both immensely grateful to Han Byoung-hwa of Yekyong Publications. He has both provided us with an opportunity to fill a gap in publications on Korean art history in Western languages, and produced a series of outstanding illustrations to Yekyong's customary and exemplary Standard of excellence.
