Overview
From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: An Exhibition of Rare Literary Works from the Korean Collection of the University of Washington Libraries. Post-WWII art and literature in Korea began to thrive until the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950. This duration of time (Aug.15, 1945 - Jun. 25, 1950) is known as the liberation space, a temporal space of blossoming post-World War Korean art and literature where the production of art was for art’s sake. The artistic quality of these publications displays the unprecedented uniqueness of the Korean literature of that particular period. The publications displayed in this exhibition are not only textual celebrations but also the pictorial expression of beauty by reputable artists of the era, not to mention the arduous labor many publishers put into each and every work.
