The 80th Anniversary of Liberation: Nostalgia in Korean Landscape Paintings
In celebration of the 80th anniversary of Korea鈥檚 liberation, this exhibition reflects on the loss and rediscovery of the homeland during the Japanese colonial period, displacement caused by division and war, survival amidst ruins, and hope of reconstruction. Nostalgia, a theme deeply embedded in modern and contemporary Korean literature and art, represents a longing for a homeland lost to time and space. In literature and art, "hometown" is expressed as a nostalgia, homeland, paradise, or eternal yearning. This exhibition focuses on the stylistic transformations from modern landscape painting to contemporary landscape art, examining works that symbolize nostalgia through four perspectives: living in a foreign land, yearning for one's homeland, displacement, and lost homeland.
