Masterpieces of Cizhou Ware from China: The Art of Black and White
  • Period 2019-05-28 ~ 2019-08-18
  • 내용 Gwangju National Museum and the Cizhou Kiln Museum are proud to present Masterpieces of Cizhou Ware from China: The Art of Black and White, a special exhibition of world ceramics. This 2019 joint exhibition is also a celebration of friendship between the two institutions, and it is particularly meaningful as it is the very first time the Cizhou Kiln Museum’s collection is being introduced in Korea. The Cizhou kilns―with sites dispersed around Cizhou (present-day Cixian) County in Handan, Hebei Province, China― manufactured massive quantities of ceramics over a period of some 1,500 years. The products of these kilns, collectively known as Cizhou wares, reflect the life and culture of the people of northern China. The most popular Cizhou ware was the type with black or brown decorations painted over the white slip ground of a coarse body. The free-spirited and unpretentious Cizhou wares reflect a penchant for bold and exuberant designs among the populace of Northern China. This exhibition introduces 117 superb examples of Cizhou ware selected from the collection of the Cizhou Kiln Museum. Visitors are invited to enjoy the epitome of Cizhou ware, a stunning and original ceramic type that embodies the long arc of history in Northern China.

Jeolla-do Province and Its People over the Past 1000 Years
  • Period 2018-10-23 ~ 2019-02-10
  • 내용 Gwangju National Museum is proud to present this special commemorative exhibition “Jeolla-do Province and Its People over the Past 1000 Years,” marking the first millennium since the province’s foundation. As the oldest administrative region in Korea, Jeolla-do can trace its past to 1018, the ninth year of the reign of King Hyeonjong, as recorded in The History of Goryeo. Yet there have also been those who cultivated these lands and dreamt of a better world long before the name “Jeolla-do” was attached. As open-minded and progressive people, they did not hesitate to assimilate the fruits of other civilizations, giving birth to a number of innovative ideas that wielded great influence on Korean history. Even in times of crisis, the people of the region have demonstrated deep loyalty and potential while protecting the entire Korean Peninsula along with their own province.

  • 내용 The epitaph tablet of Yi Seonje (李先齊, 1390-1453), a scholar official who served at the Jiphyeonjeon (集賢殿, Hall of Worthies), was donated to the National Museum of Korea in 2017 after long years of efforts. Its whereabouts had long been unknown since it was smuggled out to Japan in June 1998. The Overseas Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation dedicated to finding this tablet and eventually found its location in 2014. The Foundation met with the former owner of the epitaph tablet, the late Todoroki Takashi (等？力孝志, 1938-2016), who purchased the tablet without knowing that it was exported through illicit trafficking. In August 2017, his widow, Todoroki Kunie (等？力邦枝) donated Yi Seonje’s epitaph tablet eventually to the National Museum of Korea, through the Overseas Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation, following the will of Todoroki Takashi, who passed away in November 2016. The descendants of Yi Seonje of the Gwangsan Yi Clan (光山 李氏) also willingly consented to this donation.

Ilseop began producing Buddhist paintings in 1918, and traveled all over the country in search of those who could teach him how to paint. Even after meeting Boeung Munseung (1867-1954), who would become his lifelong teacher, Ilseop worked with many senior painters, from whom he learned various facets of Buddhist art including Buddha statues, paintings and dancheong (multicolor paintworks on wooden buildings).
    The second part titled “Leading the Buddhist Art Circles in Modern Times” shed light on the important events that occurred, which helped Ilseop established himself as a central figure in the Buddhist art circles after he began creating Buddhist artworks independent of his teacher.

This was the time period in which he engaged in prolific activities, leading numerous juniors and students. He created a massive Hubuldo that was more than 4m in height and produced all of the Buddha statues, paintings and dancheong of a Buddhist temple, thereby becoming a prominent all-round artist producing Buddhist works on large scale.
    The fourth part, “From Artisan to Artist,” focused on his diverse activities that contributed to the advancement of modern Buddhist art as well as his activities as an educator. In his later years, Ilseop made various efforts to further develop Buddhist art such as founding a Buddhist art organization, submitting his works to contests, and publishing a book. In addition, he was designated as Intangible Cultural Property No. 48 as a dancheong artisan in 1971. He also dedicated himself to fostering Buddhist painters among the younger generations, who are now actively involved in the Buddhist art circles under the name “Ilseopmundohoe.”

Special Exhibition
  • Period 2016-12-06 ~ 2017-04-02
  • 내용 The Gwangju National Museum held a special exhibition titled “Jegi of Joseon Sculpted with Clay” in 2016.
