To you who says art is difficult and boring,
Twenty questions to lower the threshold of art!
The second topic of the "In Your Pocket!" series for teenagers who ask questions is "art."
Do you feel a headache just thinking about the complexities of art? Are you unsure what to feel when looking at a work of art? "Art in Your Pocket!" is a book that asks trivial yet deeply curious questions about art.
Let's take a look at the real world of art unfolding behind the scenes of exhibition halls with art historian Jae-yeon Park, who teaches art history and exhibition planning at universities and diligently conducts research and consulting on art.
Art, which once seemed difficult and complex, will soon become a friendly and fun story.
A small but rich story about art that you can easily take out of your pocket and read.
For teenagers who ask questions, the "Pocket-Stopping!" series is a series of educational books that allows children and teenagers to ask absurd but fun questions about topics they've always been curious about and gain knowledge as if they were hearing directly from the country's top experts.
It is a small and cute paperback that fits perfectly in one hand, so you can enjoy knowledge anytime, anywhere without any burden.
The second topic of the "In Your Pocket!" series for teenagers who ask questions is "art."
These days, with the diversification of art-related exhibitions and content, it has become easier and more convenient to access art works.
But there is still a perception that art is difficult and obscure.
Unlike math or science, art doesn't have a clearly defined answer.
So, when we look at a work of art, we often feel anxious, thinking, 'Am I missing something?' or 'Am I weird for not understanding this work?'
"Art in Your Pocket" teaches you how to get closer to art by answering trivial but genuinely curious questions.
Here are 20 questions about art that you've never been able to ask before: what is the oldest painting in the world, why do artists sign their paintings, how do you fix a damaged piece of art, can paintings drawn by artificial intelligence also be considered art, and more.

Into the book
As I looked into the stories contained in each painting and sculpture, I realized that art is not simply "pretty pictures," but also contains people's lives, thoughts, culture, and history.
Art is a magical language that connects time and space.
--- p.2
How would you feel if your ambitious work faced a barrage of criticism? Artists' responses to controversy surrounding their work vary.
--- p.24
In the history of art, the standards for a good painting or a well-drawn painting have changed tremendously over time.
As new standards are constantly being introduced, the criteria for evaluating what constitutes a good painting are also changing, and the concept of art is constantly expanding.
--- p.40
There is no right answer, but to become familiar with contemporary art, it is important to have an open mind above all else.
I believe that works of art are open to many interpretations, and that there is no single 'right' way to understand or appreciate art.
--- p.81~82
Major works of art in large art museums undergo regular or intermittent X-ray examinations to check their preservation status, much like we undergo health checkups.

Publisher's Review
Stories from behind the scenes, asked directly by art historians.
Art historian Jae-yeon Park, author of “Art in Your Pocket,” said, “Art is a magical language that connects time and space.”
A single work of art is bound to contain the lives, thoughts, culture, and history of the people of that era.
Therefore, if you want to truly understand and become truly familiar with art, it is important to go beyond simply appreciating the work and to think honestly and unvarnishedly about things like, "How, why, and by whom was this work created?", "What kind of environment did the artist live in, and what was the atmosphere like at that time?", and "What does this work mean to us today?"
Professor Park Jae-yeon said that he composed twenty questions by collecting impressive questions he received from readers he met through various art activities and interesting stories that stimulated his curiosity while studying art.
What stories unfold behind the scenes of the exhibition halls we haven't seen? Art historian Jaeyeon Park shares engaging stories about art, bringing you one step closer to art that often seems so complex and difficult to grasp! We've also provided OR codes to allow you to easily appreciate the masterpieces featured in "Art in Your Pocket!"
How about appreciating the art pieces you've always wanted to see while reading a book and immersing yourself in the fascinating world of art?
"Art in Your Pocket!" recommended by Shin Eun-byeol, a docent with 20 million views.
As an art creator and VIP docent, I have seen countless masterpieces, but I will never forget the moment when I first felt the intensity of art.
When I was in elementary school, I was lying awake alone in the quiet of the night, blankly watching a TV program introducing classic paintings.
Then I made eye contact with a woman in pure white who was not wearing any clothes.
It was Manet's Olympia.
I was lost in my deep eyes, and all sounds faded away, as if only Olympia and I were left in the world.
It was only when I came out of that cozy and strange immersion that I realized through the voice actor's narration that this work was a controversial piece that turned society upside down.
I wanted to know more about Olympia, but the books available at the time felt like an alien language to me as a child.
What if I had Park Jae-yeon's "Art in Your Pocket!" back then? Perhaps I could have become a "children's docent," explaining art to my friends much earlier.
This book begins with very trivial questions about art and is filled with vivid stories that take place behind the scenes of exhibitions.
This is a book I would definitely give as a gift to friends who want to cherish the enjoyable art experience for a long time.
With "Art in Your Pocket!", connect with artwork, ask questions, and delve deeper.
You will be able to gradually build up a wealth of artistic experiences and assets that you can confidently draw upon at any time.
