Zozayong: Visionary, Scholar and Champion of Korean Folk Arts

6/13/2017

 
Zozayong (1922-2000) led a one-man mission to save Korean folk paintings from disregard and destruction in the 1960s and 70s. He saw the character, spirituality and value of Korean folk art that even today is so under-appreciated. Here are images from one of his many books, "Introduction to Korean Folk Painting,"  published in 1977.  I am inspired and indebted to him.
