Comprar una lámina de Composition - Modern, seal engraving technique

This work, which is linked to Abstract Letter series in content, presents a dramatic contrast between the white background and the red form. Ungno’s print works, except those that make direct reference to People series or specific figures, are often related to his Abstract Letter series and such works show a great similarity to traditional seal engraving. Seal engraving is a unique carving technique used in areas under the influence of the Chinese language and alphabet, which engraves a letter in a typographic unit. The technique is often regarded as an independent art form due to the artistic quality in carving letterforms. Lee Ungno, who was familiar with traditional East Asian poetry, calligraphy, painting and engraving, made a great number of print works that remind of seal engraving. The cinnabar red in this work emphasizes such an impression, while the English and Chinese inscriptions in black under his signature on the lower right put this work in the context of European print. As written so by the artist, the image of this print was used for his solo exhibition poster at the Galerie Koryo in Paris in 1977.

Biografía del artista

Early Life and Training

Yi Eungro (Lee Ungno), born in Seoul, South Korea in 1904, possessed an innate fascination for painting from a young age. He nurtured this passion during his formative years at Hongseong Botong Hakyo (홍성보통학교, 홍城초등학교, 洪城普通學校), where he received foundational instruction in Chinese calligraphy and painting—a tradition deeply rooted in Korean artistic heritage. Recognizing his ambition to excel as an artist, Lee pursued further studies under Yeomjae Song Tae-hoe (예명 송태호), a celebrated calligrapher-painter-photographer who instilled in him the principles of Haegang Style (해강식). This influential style emphasized naturalism and harmonious blending of Eastern brushstrokes with Western perspective.

Artistic Career in Korea and Japan

Lee Ungno’s artistic journey commenced in Seoul in 1922, where he became an apprentice to Kim Gyujin (김규진), a pivotal figure in Korean art. He diligently honed his skills under Kim's guidance, mastering the techniques of portraying the Four Gentlemen—a cornerstone of Haegang Style—known for their serene depictions of bamboo and plum blossoms. His dedication was rewarded when his ink wash painting of a bamboo, Mukjuk (묵죽, 墨竹), garnered recognition at the 3rd Annual Joseon Art Exhibition, securing him a prestigious prize. Throughout the colonial period, Lee consistently achieved acclaim in successive Joseon Art Exhibitions, demonstrating unwavering commitment to artistic excellence. However, he harbored a belief that Korean ink painters needed to embrace innovation and adapt to evolving aesthetic trends—a sentiment that propelled him toward experimentation with Western influences. In the early 1930s, Lee began producing landscapes infused with modern Eastern styles alongside naturalistic elements borrowed from Western painting traditions.

International Recognition and Later Life

Following his intensive training in traditional Korean ink painting during the 1920s and 1930s, Lee Ungno gradually incorporated Western artistic techniques into his oeuvre. His works from the 1950s showcased a daring fusion of Eastern mediums and brushstrokes with Western compositional principles—a testament to his intellectual curiosity and artistic versatility. Seeking inspiration beyond Korea’s borders, Lee relocated to France in 1958, establishing himself as a prominent abstract artist. He achieved lasting renown for his series of ink and paper collages, particularly “Abstract Letters,” which explored the expressive potential of geometric forms and textures. Furthermore, his monumental “Crowd Paintings” captivated audiences with their dynamic representations of urban life—a bold departure from conventional artistic conventions.

Legacy

Yi Eungro stands as a seminal figure in Korean abstract art history, credited with initiating the first generation of Korean artists who embraced experimentation and broadened the scope of Eastern artistic expression within contemporary art. His enduring influence can be observed in subsequent generations of Korean painters who sought to synthesize Eastern aesthetics with Western innovation—a legacy cemented by the Lee Ungno Museum (이응로미술관), inaugurated in Daejeon, South Korea in 2007. This museum meticulously preserves and showcases his artworks alongside related materials, ensuring that Yi Eungro’s contribution to Korean art continues to inspire and educate audiences worldwide.
