The Exhibition
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.
