Shifting Terrain: Korean Paintings from the Spencer Museum of Art Collection, 1800–2012
Like many aspiring artists in Japanese-occupied Korea, Kim In-seung studied art in Japan where he was introduced to academic traditions that emphasized modeling, meticulous observation, and realistic depictions. Following the end of Japanese imperial rule and Korean independence in 1945, Kim suffered harsh criticism for participating in pro-Japanese art organizations and exhibitions. After a teaching career at Ewha University, Kim moved to New York in 1974, where he earned a reputation as “the rose painter.”
