Reviews

'The book provides a fascinating insight into the greatest century of political, social and cultural change in the history of Korea, the focus of artistic as well as military confrontation between East and West.' - Keith Pratt, Emeritus Professor, Durham University; 'This book covers over 100 years of Korean modern art in one flow by explaining each period's art scenes with well-documented information. It suggests the inseparable relationship between art and politics under the dynamically changing social context in and out of Korea.' - Jungsil Jenny Lee, University of Kansas
