Palaces of Korea and Korean Landscape Painting

Palaces of Korea and Korean Landscape Painting: Continuity and Innovation through the Ages, the third and fourth volumes of the Foundation's Korean Culture Series, are slated for publication in 2006. Rather than a publication targeted for Korea's tourism sector, the Korean Culture Series offers overall as well as in-depth information on Korean art and culture, from distinguished figures of various subject areas. The books of this series, which are designed to enable foreigners to acquire a more insightful understanding and appreciation of Korean art and culture, feature an abundance of vivid photos and illustrations that will help readers to better comprehend the related information.

Palaces of Korea, written by Kim Dong-uk, professor of architecture, Kyonggi University, and translated by Michael Finch, professor of Keimyung University, introduces the historical background and unique architectural styles of Korea's palaces, which can be differentiated from the influences of East Asian palace architecture. The book offers descriptions of East Asian capitals and palaces, a brief history of palaces in Korea, the everyday life and ceremonies of palaces, Korean palace architecture, and noteworthy palaces in Korea.

Korean Landscape Painting: Continuity and Innovation through the Ages is written by Professor Emerita Yi Song-mi of the Academy of Korean Studies. The author reviews the history of Korean landscape painting from the Three Kingdoms period to the early 20th century, along with discussing notable developments in landscape painting during the Goryeo and Joseon periods. The book provides an overview of landscape painting development in Korea; early landscape scenes etched on the walls of burial chambers during the Three Kingdoms and Unified Silla periods; landscape painting of Goryeo and early Joseon, under the influence of Chinese painting styles; historical background of the emergence of Korea's unique landscape painting, representing a departure from Chinese trends, during the mid-Joseon period; development of True-View Landscape Painting during the late Joseon era; and transformation of landscape painting in the 20th century.

Current plans call for the Korean Culture Series to include nine volumes, including upcoming editions on traditional Korean painting, Buddhist temples, maedeup (Korean handcrafted knot-wear), and Buddhist statues.
