This is a record of the times I felt consoled, healed, and happy from paintings, artists, and art.
- Book Intro
-
The author of this book introduces 31 artists. You may have encountered artists before at the Seoul Arts Center, the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, but some artists are probably so unknown to you that you’ve never even heard their names.
Why and how were these artists and works of art selected by the author? The artists and the works in this book deliver encouragement and consolation to those living through the current reality of COVID-19.
As you read this book, you will realize that these passionate artists who so desperately stayed true to their values are not special people with extraordinary genes. You will find that their works can still make you smile or cry even without requiring any background knowledge. You will see that art doesn’t have to be something that is elegant, showy, and tough to understand.
