The works are divided by medium, and seven essays by eminent Korean art scholars provide chronicles of ceramics, Buddhist sculpture, landscape painting, "true-view" paintings of Korea, and overviews of works in the Metropolitan's collection and the peninsula's history. The essays, excellent object-specific descriptions, 148 color plates of works exhibited, and 200 illustrations of other crucial material enable the reader to piece together the mosaic of Korea's major artistic developments.
For anyone who wants to delve into Korean art or better understand the artistic relations between China and Korea or Korea and Japan--the latter an important story now beginning to be told--this impressive and weighty tome (511 pages with a 24-page index) will remain an important reference. --Joseph Newland
