Yu-ri, who has been at the forefront of popularizing art by communicating with readers through works such as “Women Who Torn the Canvas” and “The Tilted Museum.” She honestly expresses her feelings and experiences while visiting museums for a long time.\u003cbr\u003e While his previous works primarily focused on raising concerns about the power structure and inequality surrounding artists and their works, \"Anyway, Art Museum\" contains more personal and everyday stories. \u003cbr\u003eThe author recalls the unforgettable moments in his life brought about by the art museum, and tells in a calm yet intimate voice how he found comfort and growth within it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Starting from childhood memories of creating my own art gallery by cutting out famous paintings from newspapers and magazines, to my time studying abroad in London when I frequented galleries so often that the thresholds wore out, and to the moment when I stood in front of Cheon Kyung-ja's paintings and decided to start a new life, the book is filled with stories about art galleries that I have encountered at every turn in life.\u003cbr\u003e Also, as someone who loves art museums more than anyone else, he doesn't miss out on interesting information about the little things we might have casually passed by in art museums, such as picture frames, goods, and the backstories behind works titled \"Untitled.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs the author said, “I wrote this book as if I were walking through an art gallery with an unknown reader,” after reading the book, you will feel as if you have wandered through a quiet art gallery with him.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's

\u003cbr\u003eMost art museums collect and exhibit works from similar eras.\u003cbr\u003e Even though the artists are different, the themes and materials are similar, so at some point, a common pattern catches your eye and you naturally sense the message the painting is trying to convey.\u003cbr\u003e For example, I didn't even know that the word 'still life' meant 'still life painting'.\u003cbr\u003e But when you go to the 16th-17th century Dutch and Flemish exhibition, you see a constant stream of works featuring skulls, flowers, and candlesticks.\u003cbr\u003e The candles in the painting were going out, the flowers were withering, and the fruit was rotting.\u003cbr\u003e Although no one explained it to me, after seeing similar works for a long time, I could naturally sense the emptiness that the paintings radiated.\u003cbr\u003e It was only later that I learned that they were still lifes called 'Vanitas', which means emptiness or worthlessness in Latin. \u003cbr\u003eThe truth is that no matter how beautiful we are, no matter how much wealth or fame we have, we are all beings who must die someday.\u003cbr\u003e The genre of painting that taught the lesson of Memento Mori, or 'remember that you will die', was still life.\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.19-20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e That's what uncomfortable and true art is.\u003cbr\u003e That very being that runs towards me, a coward, grabs the hair of the prejudice that has taken root deep in my heart and mercilessly tears it out, right down to the roots.\u003cbr\u003e That's why art museums sometimes become places for reflection.\u003cbr\u003e I went in to see a work of art, but ended up coming out facing myself.\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.38-39\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Come to think of it, spaces like art galleries and museums are quite peculiar.\u003cbr\u003e Upon entering this place, the audience experiences a new experience of becoming a work of art themselves through the ‘power’ of the space.\u003cbr\u003e Not just people.\u003cbr\u003e The same goes for objects that enter this space. \u003cbr\u003eFor example, the chair placed in the corner of the art gallery is actually just a chair for the exhibition guard to rest.\u003cbr\u003e But, hasn't there been a time when you stood far away and watched it because it somehow felt like a work of art?\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.51-52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Looking at a picture is no different from having a conversation with yourself or someone else.\u003cbr\u003e The women who viewed the exhibition alone pondered the works in front of them, asking questions and thinking.\u003cbr\u003e That question raised questions about the existing order, and that question fostered an independent and subjective worldview.\u003cbr\u003e The worldview that sprouted in women's minds at this time was completely different from the 'traditional image' imposed by patriarchy.\u003cbr\u003e The museum gave wings to their imagination, and imagination helped women break free from the patriarchal mold and fly “over the threshold” (in the words of poet Adrienne Rich).\u003cbr\u003e What lies beyond the threshold?\u003cbr\u003e No one knew.\u003cbr\u003e Even women themselves.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.72\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhy do I feel exhausted and my feet are on fire, as if I just walked around the country for three hours?\u003cbr\u003e My head starts to spin and I start to wonder, 'Is that yellow and is that red?'\u003cbr\u003e As it turns out, this symptom has a name.\u003cbr\u003e It is called 'Museum Leg'.\u003cbr\u003e It wasn't just my unique problem, it was a phenomenon that many people experienced.\u003cbr\u003e But even after visiting not only large museums like the Louvre but also smaller ones, we often suffer from 'museum leg.'\u003cbr\u003e Why on earth is that?\u003cbr\u003e --- p.84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When you walk through an art gallery, you will come across frames as often as paintings.\u003cbr\u003e Although it is a supporting role that makes the painting stand out, sometimes the frame itself catches the eye.\u003cbr\u003e One day, I suddenly looked at the picture frame that was attached to the painting as if it were one body, and this thought occurred to me.\u003cbr\u003e 'The picture frame is an 'anchor', a 'sail', and a 'trap' to me.'\u003cbr\u003e --- p.107\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAccording to Alain de Botton, the true essence of museum visits is seeing the world through the eyes of artists and examining closely what they loved.\u003cbr\u003e That's why the important thing is to get your hands on things that the artist would have liked, things (goods!) that connect with his world of art.\u003cbr\u003e If you think about it carefully, it's true.\u003cbr\u003e The lessons we learn from museums—the meaning of beauty, the expansion of the mind—usually vanish into thin air the moment we leave.\u003cbr\u003e However, souvenirs keep the impressions we felt at the museum in our hearts for a long time and serve as a bridge that gently connects us to our daily lives.\u003cbr\u003e So, souvenir shops can be said to be the vanguard for popularizing and understanding art in modern society.\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.118-119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yes, that's right.\u003cbr\u003e This is the inherent limitation of art museums. \u003cbr\u003eEven the 'spirit of resistance that has just burst forth' is likely to lose its original sharpness the moment it crosses the threshold of an art museum.\u003cbr\u003e Because art museums are institutional frameworks that protect and manage works of art, art recognized there comfortably meets viewers.\u003cbr\u003e But there is also a great risk that the provocative message will be neutralized.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes it seems like artists joining hands with art galleries is a 'Faustian bargain'.\u003cbr\u003e Because within the authority of the art museum, there is a risk that the artist's subversive voice will be weakened or interpreted in a neutral way.\u003cbr\u003e Even the once sharp Olympia was completely disarmed upon entering the Orsay Museum, and Banksy's sharp mockery was absorbed into the authority bestowed by the system the moment it entered the 'clean zone' of the art museum. \u003cbr\u003eNo wonder the joke came to be that “the way an art museum loves an artist is like the way a taxidermist loves a deer.”\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.135-136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Perhaps everyone lives with their own art gallery in their heart.\u003cbr\u003e An inner space where all the fragments of life are displayed, from childhood dreams and memories of first failures to traces of love and loss.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes we don't even look into the room that has been closed for a long time and just covered in dust.\u003cbr\u003e But if some opportunity arises, the room can be opened again.\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.145-146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Every time I go to an art gallery or museum, I unintentionally confirm my own ignorance.\u003cbr\u003e The moment I see the title of the exhibited work, I am overcome with a sense of self-destruction.\u003cbr\u003e For example, let’s look at National Treasure No. 170, a white porcelain jar with a blue-and-white plum and bamboo design, housed in the National Museum of Korea. \u003cbr\u003eI clearly read it in Korean, but I have no idea what it means.\u003cbr\u003e I'm even confused about where to stop reading.\u003cbr\u003e This is because Chinese characters were mechanically converted into Korean characters.\u003cbr\u003e My confusion was only resolved when I saw the English title written on it.\u003cbr\u003e White Porcelain Lidded Jar with Plum, Bird and Bamboo Design in Underglaze Cobalt Blue.\u003cbr\u003e 'Ah, a lidded white porcelain jar with a cobalt blue plum blossom, bird, and bamboo painting!' The English title is simpler and clearer, so I wonder what's going on.\u003cbr\u003e This is not the United States, this is South Korea.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The museum displays the works of artists who have already turned the last page of their lives and closed the back cover.\u003cbr\u003e But what we encounter are not just a few works painted towards the end of their lives.\u003cbr\u003e The exhibition also includes numerous traces left by the author while he was adrift in the vast ocean of life, unable to find the answer. \u003cbr\u003eI used to imagine them standing before it, their innocent eyes holding a brush, not knowing what the future would hold.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- p.167 \u003c\/div\u003e\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, 2025\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 176 pages | 198g | 110*178*15mm\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 9791188343898\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 1188343890 \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":43893395456042,"sku":"135123","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/186482a6a7a2c9e8b7c709417b414d0d.jpg?v=1765400032","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/135123","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
