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.

Interior with signs of wear.; Published on the occasion of the opening of the Arts of Korea Gallery at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the inaugural exhibition Arts of Korea, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, June 9, 1998-January 24, 1999.; Of all the cultural and artistic traditions of East Asia, those of Korea have received the least attention in the West. This volume, along with the major exhibition it accompanies, examines the most significant developments in the history of Korean art, from the Neolithic period to the nineteenth century, through outstanding examples of Korea's artistic achievements. Written by leading Korean art scholars and drawing upon the latest research in Korean art studies, the book examines stylistic characteristics and technical innovations in four major areas: ceramics, Buddhist sculpture, painting, metalwork and decorative arts. Attention is given to the political, social, and cultural conditions that led to the creation of the works of art, in particular the Korean peninsula's external relationships and inter- changes with China on the continental mainland to the north and west and with the Japanese archipelago to the south. The exhibition, the first comprehensive display of masterworks of Korean art presented in the United States in nearly twenty years, was organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art to coincide with the opening of the Museum's new, permanent Arts of Korea Gallery. Drawn from the collections of The National Museum of Korea, impor- tant private collections in Korea, Japan, and the United States, and the Metropolitan Museum's own holdings, the works in the exhibition represent the finest examples of Korean art in all major media. They have been chosen on the basis of their place in the historical development of Korean art, their manifestation of important changes in tech- nique and style, and their representation of Korean aesthetics. During the past two decades, significant advancements in art historical scholarship in Korea and new archaeological discoveries throughout the peninsula have led to a more thorough and critical assessment of Korean art. This scholarly publication will bring to the Western audience a greater awareness and understanding of the very special and distinctive cultural and artistic legacy of Korea.

Very good condition overall.; Catalogue from the exhibition Goryeo Dynasty: Korea's Age of Enlightenment, 918-1392, held at the Asian Art Museum - Chong-Moon Lee Center for Asian Art and Culture, from October 18, 2003, to January 11, 2004.; Few people are aware that the name Korea is derived from Goryeo of the Goryeo dynasty (918-1392). Under the patronage of the royal court, the aristocracy and the Buddhist elite - whose taste are for luxury and refinement was unprecedented in the history of Korea- spectacular achievements were made in all areas of the arts during this period. This catalogue documents not only the famous Goryeo achievements in ceramics but also lesser known Buddhist paintings, illuminated sutras, sculpture, lacquer, and metal crafts. Drawing from thirty-five contributing institutions, it brings together some of the most exquisite works of Korean art from the tenth to the fourteenth century, including many that have never before traveled to the West. A valuable resource to anyone interested in the classic arts of East Asia.
