아시아의 맥락 안에서 '사회와 예술'의 접점을 파고드는 것, 이야말로 가장 세련되고 짜릿한 '지적 유희'가 아닐까요? 😏

Artist #Tzusoo’s works are way too cool to be in a museum. Take her live sculpture installation, “Agarmon,” for instance, made of agar and moss, born out of condensed sexual energy that did not culminate in fertilization and childbirth. It is currently on display at the #MMCA.

"Portrait of the Dancer Choe Seunghui" depicts world-famous Korean performer Choe Seunghui performing a Korean fan dance. Among the numerous portraits of artists he met in Pyongyang, Soviet Russian-Korean artist Pen Varlen notably depicted the dancer Choi in several works. Choi Seung-hee (최승희) was a ground-braking Korean modern dancer. Choi is hailed as an important figure of early modern dance in Korea, Japan, and China who gained worldwide fame in the 1930s. Choi was the first female dancer in colonial Korea to perform outside of her country, even though Japan did not allow for dances to express resentment or resistance towards the Japanese Empire. In 1946, Choi Seung-hee and her husband, An Mak, defected to North Korea. Her work in North Korea received strong support from Kim Il-sung. Despite her initial success in North Korea, Choi's husband was purged from the communist party in 1959, and she was "purged" in 1967. She reportedly died in a concentration camp (18호 관리소) in 1969. In 2003, the North Korean government built a monument proclaiming her a "People's Actress." Pen Varlen was born in Primorsky Krai, Russia, as a member of the ethnic Korean diaspora in Russia and Central Asia known as Goryeoin. He studied art in Saint Petersburg, where he spent the rest of his life as an artist and educator. His life and art penetrated not only the vicissitudes of colonialization, national division, warfare, and ideological conflict in modern and contemporary Korea, but also those of Russia, which underwent the communist revolution, WWI and WWII, totalitarianism, the Cold War, perestroika, and glasnost. In 1953, Pen became the first Korean appointed as associate professor at the Repin Art Institute; in the same year, he also accepted a visiting professorship at the Pyongyang Art College that lasted nearly fifteen months, allowing him to play a key role in restoring the North Korean art scene left in ruins following the war.

A sophisticated young woman with a "Western" appearance sits casually on a simple wooden chair listening to music from a record player behind her with a white record cover beside her on the floor. Judging from the white porcelain and wood furniture, she appears to be from a wealthy family living in Korea in the 1960s. This is Korean artist 김인승 Kim Insoong's 1966 oil on canvas painting, “Listening,” which is said to have been “a painting of the most beautiful student at Ewha Womans University at the time.” The beauty of the main character in the work makes it hard look away. Kim, whose name is often written as Kim In-seung, earned the nickname 장미화가 or "Rose Painter" for leaving behind many works themed around roses, is also famous for his portraits, characterized by precise observation and realism. Looking at the floral patterns on her teal dress, the intricacy of her eyebrows and eyes, and simple attentive expression, it's as if we already know the woman’s personality. Kim entered the Tokyo School of Fine Arts in 1932 to study painting and graduated near the top of his class in 1937. As a student, he trained in the techniques of classical realism, based on fastidious observation and lifelike expressions. The year of his graduation, he received the Changdeokgung Prize for his painting "Naked Woman" at the 16th Joseon Art Exhibition (1937). He then received special selections at the next three Joseon Art Exhibitions, before being honored as a "recommended artist" with portraits characterized by realistic depictions of the body, a profound color palette, and stable composition. He quickly became one of the leading Korean artists in academic realism. After becoming a professor at Ewha Womans University (이화여자대학교) in 1947, Kim was appointed as a "recommended artist" and "judge" at the 1st National Art Exhibition of Korea in 1949, to help establish the event's preferred art style of realistic paintings of seated women -- like this young lady listening to music.

Echoing colonial Korea’s ambiguous response to modernization and female empowerment, Korean artist Lee Yootae (이유태) made a diptych (two-part series) of paintings called "A Pair of Figures" to be displayed alongside each other. The pairing challenges conventional notions of women and art, displaying a complex interweaving of the traditional and the contemporary within a dynamic and charged sociopolitical sphere. In "Inquiry," the portrayal of a researcher in her lab is a testament to the evolving role of women in the twentieth century. The rise of the 신여성 (aka “modern girl” or “new woman”) in Korea mirrored a global trend. The advanced lab, complete with glass equipment, microscopes, and batteries, highlights Korea’s involvement in scientific research. While exemplifying contemporary social shifts, the researcher is not disconnected from the past—beneath her white lab coat she wears a hanbok, a traditional Korean garment. Between the white lapels, a one-bow tie and overlapping collar with white trim are just visible. The other painting in the diptych is "Composing a Verse in Response" which a portrays of a seemingly “traditional” woman in a modern domestic interior. Lee Yootae (pen name Hyeoncho) first learned painting from Kim Eunho in 1935. He moved to Japan in 1938 to study at Kawasaki Ryuich’s art studio at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts. He showed his potential by winning the government's general award and the Changdeokgung Palace award at the Joseon Art Exhibition in 1943 and 1944, and then worked as a professor at Ewha Womans University from 1947 to 1979. He excelled at female figure paintings to portray idealized representations of the modern era by combining the realism of Western styles, a classical academicist Eastern techniques, and bright colors together. After Korean independence, he created grand landscape paintings depicting the natural beauty of Korea.

Son, Eungsung (1916-1979) went to Tokyo, Japan for study art, and graduated from Pacific School of Fine Arts in 1940. His work was accepted at the 13th Joseon Art Exhibition in 1934, and won a special prize at the 19th exhibition in 1940. He also participated in the pro-Japanese artist group, called Dangwang-hoe (丹光會). Later, Son served as the recommended artist and juror at the National Art Exhibition, and gave lectures at Hongik University. Awarded the special prize at the 19th Joseon Art Exhibition in 1940, Woman in Ski Suit (or snow suit) shows Son’s early style. A Korean woman wearing an old fashioned ski outfit is sitting in front of a large stove, and taking a rest. She has short brown hair and rosy cheeks, perhaps from the winter weather. The room and background are all shades of brown making the colors of her navy suit and red hat & gloves standout in contrast. Son added a sense of volume to the woman and clothing — especially her large square-toed ski boots — to escape from detailed realism. Rooted in Academism, Son produced many works with his fine brushwork. He painted both men or women in his early period, but gradually focused on still life paintings, such as ceramics, old furniture, and pomegranates. He also frequently painted the old Korean palaces, especially the Secret Garden in Changdeokgung, a palace in Seoul.

This oil painting by Kim depicts a young woman with her dark brown hair up and wearing a traditional Korean hanbok (한복), seated gracefully in a room filled with antique furniture. Her facial expression is a bit stiff, but she stands out against the darkened background because of her luminous pink robe. Our attention is drawn to her attire, thanks to the harmonious contrast between her red collar and sash and her blue vest, as well as the meticulously depicted norigae (노리개) ornament that hangs below the sash, directly in the center of the painting. Kim’s outstanding artistic skills are evident in the lustrous texture of the silk fabric. The sheen and intricate patterns of the Korean clothing are expressed with short, swift brushstrokes, enhancing the realism and vitality of the painting. Kim Insoong entered the Tokyo School of Fine Arts in 1932 to study painting and graduated near the top of his class in 1937. As a student, he trained in the techniques of classical realism, based on fastidious observation and lifelike expressions. The year of his graduation, he received the Changdeokgung Prize at the sixteenth Joseon Art Exhibition (1937). He then received special selections at the next three Joseon Art Exhibitions, before being honored as a recommended artist. With these excellent showings at the Joseon Art Exhibition, Kim Insoong emerged as one of the leading artists in the style of academic realism. After becoming a professor at Ewha Womans University in 1947, Kim was appointed as a recommended artist and judge at the first National Art Exhibition of Korea in 1949, where he helped to establish the preferred style of the event with his realistic paintings of seated women characterized by highly realistic depictions of the body and a profound color palette.
