This is a brief survey of the rich tradition of Korean painting within a changing social and political context. It will provide a concise
introduction to tomb paintings, landscapes, genre works, min-hwa or folk paintings, and European-style Modernism. You will gain an understanding of Korea's cultural roots, as well as of the geo-political forces which affected Korean aesthetic
tradition.
