Rozhdennaia v plameni: koreiskaia keramika iz Natsional'naia muzei Korei. Katalog vystavki (Born in flames: Korean ceramics from the National Museum of Korea)
St. Petersburg: Herm, 2016. Sewn pb. The Hermitage together with the National Museum of Korea shows the extraordinary beauty of Korean ceramics which attained aesthetic and technical brilliance as early as the twelfth century. The simplicity of form, subtle shades of green and white, and spare adornment distinguish the works in the first centuries. Imagery evolved but as late as the eighteenth century was still laconic a plum branch, orchid or fish, for example, sufficed. Later works became more ornate. A final chapter offers a glimpse of contemporary Korean m. ceramics. 231 p., approx. 250 color illus., Rus. with title page and summary in ENGLISH. Item #2303
