Summary:
"This book examines the development of national emblems, photographic portraiture, oil painting, world expositions, modern space for art exhibitions, university programs of visual arts, and other agencies of modern art in Korea. With few books on modern art in Korea available in English, this book is an authoritative volume on the topic and provides a comparative perspective on Asian modernism including Japan, China, and India. In turn, these essays also shed a light on Asian reception of and response to the Orientalism and exoticism popular in Europe and North America in the early twentieth century. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, history of Asia, Asian studies, colonialism, nationalism, and cultural identity"-- Provided by publisher
