Ink bleeds into delicate ridges on panel five, where phallic rock pillars rise like jagged teeth against the sky. This 19th-century true-view screen maps both terrain and loss—how does the absence of human figures in panels seven and eight shift the mountain’s scale?

The #Museum for #EastAsianArt in #Cologne is currently also running a special exhibition called "Living Images. #Buddhist rituals in #Chinese, #Japanese, and #KoreanArt". Unlike many #museum presentations that treat Buddhist objects primarily as stylistic or iconographic achievements, this show puts religious practice first. Here's a short report on what I found most interesting about it:

In Jan. this year, I visited the #Museum for #EastAsianArt in #Cologne, where I have seen the the exhibition "Celebrating the #LunarYear of the #horse". The exhibition brings together works from #China, #Tibet, #Korea, and #Japan to explore the cultural history of the horse in #EastAsia, coinciding with the Lunar Year of the Horse. In this post, I summarize my impressions and insights from the exhibition:

Lee Jung-seob był niezwykle utalentowanym malarzem, który swoją twórczość wykorzystywał do ukazania codziennych dramatów i chwil radości, nieraz w trudnych czasach wojny koreańskiej. Choć urodzony w 1916 roku, jego sztuka do dziś pozostaje żywa w sercach wielu miłośników i artystów. W jego pracach można dostrzec nie tylko estetyczną wartość, ale także głęboką refleksję nad kondycją ludzką. Zmarł w 1956 roku, lecz jego dzieła nadal inspirują. (fot.

Glossy celadon glaze fractures into a web of fine cracks across this Prunus vase, its surface alive with inlaid clouds and cranes in flight. The vessel’s form—wide belly tapering to a narrow neck—suggests both ritual use and quiet domesticity.

What does the tension between its delicate ornament and sturdy shape reveal about the hands that once filled it?

Also seen in April 2025: The #Museum for #EastAsianArt in #Cologne hosts a small exhibition called "The Line", dedicated to calligraphic principles in #KoreanArt. It highlights how #writing and #brushwork serve as unifying aesthetic principles across media, from painting to ceramics and bronzes, tracing a continuity from the #Goryeo period to #ContemporaryArt. Here's a brief summary of that visit:

"Painting of the Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks," Unknown Korean Artist, 19th or early 20th Centuries.

The product of an unknown artist from Korea's Joseon Dynasty, this painting is also known as a Irworobongdo, and normally was a folding screen that stood behind the Emperor's throne, as a symbol of his majesty and power. The actual meaning of the symbolism here is forgotten and can only be guessed at. It's worth noting that the concept of five peaks has long been important to the royal houses of Korea.

Many of these were produced in the heyday of the Joseon Dynasty, but today only about 20 are extant, none of which are signed. While frequently done as multipanel folding screens, this particular example is done as a single panel. Versions of this always had the sun, moon, and five peaks, but could vary in details, color scheme, and arrangement.

From the National Palace Museum of Korea, Seoul.
