In traditional Korean art, learning by imitation was one of the major training methods for creating new artwork. Literati and court artists copied original works while at the same time used imitation as a point of departure to strike out on paths of their own. Meanwhile, unknown painters imitated the sophisticated artworks of the upper classes for the general public that had emerged as consumers when Korea was on its way to modernization. These art pieces, full of humor and wit, were aimed at catering to public tastes. The public was eager to enjoy the high quality artworks of the upper classes. Imitation was also prevalent through trade between different countries, and it served as an important role in transferring and spreading new cultures. Imitation and Creativity in Korean Art looks into the various meanings that imitation conveys through paintings, craftworks, and clothing that have traces of imitation dating from the Goryeo Dynasty to modern times. This exhibition will give viewers an opportunity to think not only about imitation as a way to create artworks by learning the teachings of great artists and masters, but also about the historical and social significance of imitation that accompanied expanding international cultural exchanges and a growing consumer base for art.
