very good dust-jacket, fresh attractive blue cloth, very good, probably unused. YI, SONG-MI. Searching for modernity: Western influence and true-view landscape in Korean painting of the late Choson period. Seattle, WA, Lawrence, KS: University of Washington Press, Spencer Museum of Art, Kress Foundation of Art History, The University of Kansas, 2015, 1st printing number line ending in 1, viii, 222pp., . Yi, Song-mi, 1939- - Series: University of Kansas Franklin D. Murphy lecture series "Korean painters participated in two major cultural trends of the late Choson period in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: inquiry into things Korean and investigation of things Western. Departing from Chinese sources long considered authoritative, they developed the distinctly Korean mode known as "true-view" landscape painting for depicting the scenery of their own country. Rooted in the documentary painting of the early Choson period and displaying special techniques developed to describe distinctive features of Korea's topography, true-view paintings portray the most exemplary and ideal landscapes of Korea, such as those of Mount Kumgang (Diamond Mountain). The same painters also drew on Western painting methods, which they learned from descriptions of Western paintings seen and recorded by Korean emissaries to Beijing as well as from actual paintings brought back. This knowledge inspired them to produce not only landscapes but also portraits, images of animals and other paintings based on firsthand observation of nature. Both trends, looking inward to Korea and outward to the West, represented Korean aspiration for something new - for "modernity." Deftly weaving these two strands together as the unifying theme of Searching for Modernity, Yi Song-mi expands on her pioneering work on true-view landscape painting to reveal even more of the depth and complexity of this mature and fully Korean form of artistic expression." - CONTENTS: Introduction -- Historical and intellectual background of the late Choson period -- Western influence on Korean painting -- True-view landscape painting.

Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. " 'Gardens of the Middle Ages', the title of this exhibition, implies a sweeping review of gardens in many different places over a period of more than a thousand years. But such extensive coverage of the gardener's art is neither possible nor - considering the present state of research - desirable. Limited by the exhibition to a study of gardens represented in the works of art, we have chosen to concentrate on garden images in the Latin west, especially those north of the Alps and Pyrenees. In the Iberian and Italian peninsulas, Roman and Muslim influences remained strong, and in Italy the emergence of the Renaissance irrevocably changed patrons' ideals. In France and England abundant evidence for gardens in the 14th and 15th Centuries suggest chronological as well as geographical boundaries. Thus, while documentary evidence survives for gardens in the Carolingian period (8th and 9th centuries), the visual evidence for gardens is drawn primarily from the later centuries, the Gothic and Late Gothic periods. Even so, the limitation of the exhibition to works of art in American collections presents the inclusion of many of the best-known images of the Medieval garden. Illustrations of some of these provide comparative material and a broader content in the introductory essays." - from the Introduction.
