Curator Tour 《Joseon White Porcelain, Paragon of Virtue》 | Leeum

This exhibition covers the full spectrum of Joseon white porcelain, arranged according to decorative techniques and production sites. Moreover, it offers an entirely new perception of white porcelain as the physical embodiment of the ‘gunja’, a consummate being who represented the ideal values and principles that the Joseon people aspired to attain.
Part 1, entitled “Pinnacle of Joseon White Porcelain,” showcases the quintessential masterpieces of Joseon white porcelain, including many vessels that have been officially designated by the Korean government as Treasures or National Treasures. Part 2 highlights “Blue-and-white Porcelain,” symbol of the dignity and decorum of the royal court and literati, tracing its fascinating changes over time. Part 3 is dedicated to “White Porcelain in Iron-brown Underglaze and Copper-red Underglaze,” which conveyed a different type of elegance through various colors and whimsical designs. Finally, Part 4 celebrates the luminous white color of “Monochrome White Porcelain,” the essence of white porcelain.

오랫동안 이어져오던 사옹원이 일제시대를 거쳐 민으로 넘어가고.. 사라졌단 얘기에 너무 안타까왔어요... 밤하늘 별처럼 모여있던 백자... 너무 아름다왔습니다. 좋은전시 감사합니다.

작품 하나 하나에 집중할 수 있게하는 조도와 분위기도 전체적으로 좋았어요

깊이 감사하는 마음으로 감상했던 전시였습니다. 큐레이션 영상을 통해 인생의 흐름도 백자의 발전 방향같이 느껴지네요.

이런 대규모 백자전을 앞으로 살아 생전에 다시 볼 수 있을런지...
