| Arts of Korea |  | | | Author: | The Metropolitan Museum of Art | | | URL: | http://www.metmuseum.org/explore/Korea/koreaonline/index.htm | | | Notes: | This exhibition explores Korea’s distinctive cultural identity and the ways in which the arts of Korea have been affected by trade and diplomacy, by war and peace, and by religion and philosophy. Art forms unique to Korea are especially well represented by ceramics, ranging from the stonewares of the Three Kingdoms period (57 BC-AD 668) to the inlaid celadons of the Koryo dynasty (918-1392) and the punch’ong ware and porcelains of the Choson dynasty (1392-1910). Important developments in painting include the “true-view” landscapes and genre paintings produced during the eighteenth century, a time of widespread interest in defining and promoting native Korean cultural and artistic traditions. | | | Language: | English | | | Category: | Asian Art | | | Record #: | ASIA0007 |
