About
"This important book examines the history, significance, and process of official portrait making during Korea's Joseon dynasty (1392-1910). It highlights pieces in the collection of the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, including eight exquisite draft portraits of Bunmu meritorious officials made in 1751. Texts by prominent scholars discuss the complex philosophies and delicate techniques in the art of portrait making. The book also features the work of celebrated contemporary artists, including Yun Suknam and Do Ho Suh, to demonstrate that portraiture still thrives in Korea today. With more than 100 stunning photos, Likeness and Legacy in Korean Portraiture is the ultimate guide to this specialized art form and its history"--
