Kim Whanki, also Kim Whan-ki or Kim Hwan-gi (1913 – 1974, hangul: 김환기), was a pioneering abstract artist of Korea.〔Kim, Youngna. ''20th Century Korean Art.'' London: Laurence King Publishing Ltd, 1998.〕 Born February 27, 1913 in the village of Eupdong-ri on the island of Anjwado, Sinan County, South Jeolla Province, Kim died in New York City, USA, on July 25, 1974. Kim belongs to the first generation of Korean Abstract artists, mixing oriental concepts and ideals with abstraction. With refined and moderated formative expression based on Korean Lyricism, he created his characteristic art world. His artworks largely dealt with diverse hues and patterns.〔(Kim Whan-ki ), Christie's auction house (further lots of Kim's work listed).〕 Kim's early works were semi-abstract paintings which allowed beholders to see certain forms, but his later works were more deeply absorbed abstract paintings, filled with lines and spaces.〔Lee Gyuhyun, 안녕하세요 예술가씨, Hello Mr.Ms. Artist., p.258, 2010.〕 Respected domestically and abroad, the Whanki Museum, dedicated to Kim, opened in Seoul in 1992. ==Biography== Growing up as the fourth child and only son of wealthy farmer Kim Sang-hyeon, Kim Whanki grew up comfortably and started studying abroad at the age of 19. His nephew's grandson is K-Pop male group BIGBANG main rapper, T.O.P. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Whanki Kim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
