Review: Gorgeous, exuberant Kim Chong Hak at the High
The High Museum of Art in Atlanta is hosting "Kim Chong Hak: Painter of Seoraksan," the first American museum exhibition dedicated to the Korean artist, running through November 2. The show features over 60 works spanning Kim's career, from early abstract pieces influenced by Western artists like Rothko and Tàpies to vibrant, large-scale landscapes inspired by his decades-long retreat to Mount Seorak in eastern South Korea. The exhibition includes paintings, folk art, and a catalog with essays that contextualize Kim's life and work.
