It probably has nothing to do with its fame or art historical significance.\u003cbr\u003e At some point in your life, if you find a painting that is just beautiful to look at, you can call it 'your own painting of life.'\u003cbr\u003e Author Jeong Yeo-ul recalls that she was finally able to free herself from the inexplicable sense of lack in life when she wandered through art galleries and finally found a painting that touched her heart.\u003cbr\u003e No matter how noisy the world may be and how much it torments us, if we have just one picture in our hearts, we will not be lonely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs a literary critic, humanist, and essayist who has explored the beauty of literature and art, author Yeo-ul Jeong has come to readers with her art essay, “An Art Museum Just for Me,” which contains 50 of her “life paintings.”\u003cbr\u003e This book curates paintings that inspired, gave hope, gave love, and gave courage, which I encountered while exploring art museums in unfamiliar cities around the world.\u003cbr\u003e As readers wander through this private collection, a blend of beautiful paintings and the author's intimate life stories, they will find themselves inspired to create their own \"gallery just for me.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e■ “Walking through the gallery of the heart, filled with Van Gogh’s Starlight, Monet’s Water Lilies, and Klimt’s Kiss”\u003cbr\u003e A collection of Jeong Yeo-ul's affectionate paintings, filled with love, courage, and inspiration for life.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlain de Botton said, “One of the surprisingly important functions of art is that it teaches us to better tolerate pain.”\u003cbr\u003e Isn't the usefulness of art derived from this healing function?\u003cbr\u003e Painting has the power to allow the viewer to project the story of their own life while simultaneously sublimating all joys and sorrows into beautiful light and color.\u003cbr\u003e In “An Art Museum Just for Me,” the author draws on his own experience, saying, “When I come to the art museum, my fluctuating heart becomes calm and I am able to see the light and shadow of life more clearly,” and confesses, “Whenever I face the barrier of reality and my hopes are dashed, I think of Van Gogh’s Starlight” (prologue). \u003cbr\u003eWhen I think of Van Gogh's challenge to capture the essence of starlight through color, as in \"Starry Night Over the Rhone,\" and his passion for art, I am able to spur myself out of complacency and embark on new endeavors and adventures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Everyone has a picture like that.\u003cbr\u003e The lives and works of great artists who were devoted to art, such as Klimt and Hopper, as well as representative artists loved by Koreans, such as Van Gogh, Monet, and Renoir, leave a deep impression on our hearts.\u003cbr\u003e Van Gogh's 'Starlight', Monet's 'Water Lilies', and Klimt's 'The Kiss' become healing spaces for our hearts.\u003cbr\u003e The 50 representative paintings in this book were carefully selected by the author based on the criteria of being paintings that I want to hang by my side and look at whenever I need inspiration, hope, the desire to love, and the courage to live tomorrow, rather than based on their importance in art history. \u003cbr\u003eAs Susan Sontag said, \"Truly creative criticism must reclaim the eroticism of art,\" the author does not dissect and interpret art with the weapons of culture and knowledge, but stands before the painting honestly and courageously as a human being who loves art.\u003cbr\u003e “I don’t explain, I don’t analyze logically.\u003cbr\u003e “I just wanted to write about the full feeling of the moment when art spoke to me,” says the author, who, as a docent at this private gallery, personally demonstrates how to enjoy art with all one’s heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e■ “On days when I haven’t smiled once, I want to send you this picture.”\u003cbr\u003e From the warm welcome of Botticelli to the desperate loneliness of Hopper, 50 masterpieces of the century.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe five galleries included in this book, from Halls 1 to 5, display over 50 representative works, including everyone's favorite artist, Van Gogh, the symbol of love, Klimt, Hopper and Chagall, Monet and Dali's masterpieces, as well as Picasso's early works, female artists Frida Kahlo and Elisabeth Le Brun, and Norman Rockwell, a symbol of the American civil rights movement.\u003cbr\u003e While these are masterpieces in their own right, the author, as the special curator of this private gallery, opens the door to dialogue by honestly and bravely sharing the stories behind the paintings, as well as his personal experiences of wounds, pain, and healing.\u003cbr\u003e In this book, which contains the joys and sorrows of life, we can read every moment of life through each and every picture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Hall 1, “Paintings that Open a Brilliant Tomorrow,” you will encounter paintings that bring hope to life. \u003cbr\u003eThe author, through Gustav Klimt's \"Portrait of Mrs. Adele Bloch-Bauer,\" vows to become a person with a shining soul, not trapped in splendid gold and choker necklaces like Adele, and also recommends, as a prescription, the painting \"The Preacher on Skates\" (by Henry Raeburn), which depicts a pastor who has laid down his authority and fallen into a moment of bliss (inner joy) on \"a day when he never smiled.\"\u003cbr\u003e In Camille Claudel's \"Dreaming by the Fire,\" where she sleeps precariously by the fireplace, we read the pain of the past when she fell asleep in the bathroom of the house where she worked as a tutor during her youth, unable to overcome fatigue. In the empty expression of the waiter \"Suson\" in Édouard Manet's \"The Bar at the Folies-Bergère,\" we also cheer for our passion to not lose its way any longer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn the second section, “Love, Engrave the Moment That Became Eternal,” paintings that truly give you the courage to fall in love are displayed in a splendid manner.\u003cbr\u003e Instead of commenting on Edward Hopper's \"Hotel Room,\" the author projects his own experience of losing love and feeling desperately lonely onto the woman left alone in the painting.\u003cbr\u003e Honoré de Balzac's famous quote, \"A lonely person needs someone to tell him that solitude is okay,\" may have resonated with the woman in the painting.\u003cbr\u003e But our love can rise again.\u003cbr\u003e From Gustav Klimt to Francisco Hayez and Constantin Brancusi, the works that capture the essence of a kiss—sometimes desperate, sometimes thrilling, and sometimes transcending the boundaries of existence—warm the hearts of those who see them. \u003cbr\u003eI nod inwardly at the author's interpretation, which asks whether this is the true 'hospitality' needed in this era, while focusing on the goddess Horai running barefoot and covering her with a cloak in Botticelli's \"Birth of Venus.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Hall 3, “Landscapes of the World Painted in the Language of Light,” we delve into the diverse language of light used by landscape and still life painters, from Claude Monet and Georges Seurat to Tian Qi, Caravaggio, and Jackson Pollock.\u003cbr\u003e Like Monet, who sought to convey the light he saw as it was, the author, a natural storyteller, vividly recreates the splendid brilliance of the masterpieces he saw in words.\u003cbr\u003e In this feast of colorful paintings and beautiful essays, any reader cannot help but tell his or her own story before the paintings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e■ “I want to talk with you about the pictures that pierced my heart.”\u003cbr\u003e -Reading masterful paintings alongside myths and literary works, encountering the essence of Jeong Yeo-ul's essays.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The works in Hall 4, “What Makes Me Me,” which contains the faces loved by painters and the passion of artists, and Hall 5, “The Museum of God, Man, and Liberation,” which depicts the epics of characters from myths and literary works, speak of the passionate and intense desires of human beings.\u003cbr\u003e Through Frida Kahlo, who suffered from a congenital disability and a broken spine in a car accident, we learn about the strength of the artist's spirit who transcended painful reality through painting. In Judith, who beheaded Holofernes, and Caravaggio's Medusa, we read about the artist's primal desire to fight painful reality even if it means becoming a monster. \u003cbr\u003eThe book offers a surprising interpretation of Hera, who transformed her hatred for Hercules into love in Greco-Roman mythology; Venus, who became the goddess of true love only after losing her love; and Orpheus, a role model for the artistic spirit. Powerful commentary on literature and art, from Hamlet to Virginia Woolf, adds even more depth to the viewer's appreciation of the paintings.\u003cbr\u003e As you become absorbed in the text and pictures that vividly capture the joys and sorrows of characters in myths and literary works, it will soon be time to leave the museum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For those who are reluctant to leave the museum, the author has prepared another special exhibition that showcases the sights of the museums that Jeong Yeo-ul loved, including the Musée d'Orsay and the Centre Pompidou in France, the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. \u003cbr\u003eArtist Seungwon Lee's photographs, which capture the beautiful scenery of the art museum where the illustrations in this book are housed, add a sense of realism throughout the book, as if you were standing in an exhibition hall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When you want to hide away in your own room from your busy daily life, visit this special art museum.\u003cbr\u003e The moment we leave this special gallery, created just for 'me', we will surely become more affectionate people than we were yesterday. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 10, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 372 pages | 594g | 145*200*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788901276892\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8901276895 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894777806890,"sku":"108607","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/cf7025c53527c84ed2cd6fc3487750d3.jpg?v=1765445776","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/108607","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
