Summary:

"Korean pop culture has become an international phenomenon in the past few years. The popularity of the nation's exports-movies, K-pop, fashion, television shows, lifestyle and cosmetics products, to name a few-has never been greater in Western society. Despite this heightened interest in contemporary Korean culture, scholarly Western publications on Korean visual arts are scarce and often outdated. A Companion to Korean Art is the first academically-researched anthology on the history of Korean art written in English. This unique anthology brings together essays by renowned scholars from Korea, the US, and Europe, presenting expert insights and exploring the most recent research in the field."-- Provided by publisher.
