Celadon Ware From Chosun
Go Yu-Seob, 1942
The first Japanese edition of <Celadon Ware From Chosun> was printed in 1939, followed by a second edition in 1942 while the author Go Yu-Seob was still alive. It includes eight chapters discussing celadon ceramics, their names, discovery and varieties.
In 1927 Woohyon Go Yu-Seob (1905-44) who studied Aesthetics and Art History in the Philosophy Department of Kyongseong Imperial University became the first scholar in that field. In 1933 he was appointed as Director of Keseong Prefectural Museum and devoted himself to the study of Korean art history. He has published numerous texts on Korean ceramics and Koryeo celadon ware.
In our museum collection we have Go Yu-Seob’s post-humus collection <Complete essays on Chosun art and culture history> (1949), <Study of Korean pagodas> (1954), <Farewell jars> (1958), <Remarks on Korean art history and Aesthetics> (1963), <Anthology of Chosun painting theories – beginners/advanced> (1965), <Collection of theses on Korean art and culture history> (1966), <The historical places of Songdo> (1977), <The walk of Korean beauty>.
Currently Incheon Cultural Foundation holds annual Go Yu-Seob Scholastic and Artistic awards.
