Yi Eungro (in Hangul:이응로, in Hanja:李應魯, or Ung-no Lee, January 12, 1904 – January 10, 1989) was a Korean-born French painter whose works were chiefly focused on Easter art, Korean paintings and printmaker. He was born in Hongseong County, Chungcheongnam-do and spent his childhood in Yesan county.〔(홍성군 이응로 화백 작품 4점 기증받아 ) Yonhap〕 ==Biography== He learned how to paint and become concentrated on art work under Kim gyujin who was a famed calligrapher in Hanyang, current Seoul. Kim taught Yi about Four Gentlemen, Ink wash painting. Next year, he was accepted to the art exhibition of Chosun, under the title of Mukjuk(inkwashing bamboo) and then graduated from Gawabata Art school which was shut down during Pacific War. He went to study in Japan under 松林桂月, a Japanese painter, expanding knowledge about western paintings and skills. In 1938, he continued to be accepted in several art exhibitions in Japan and Shenzhen, China. He organized a group of artists named ''Dangu'' to sweep away colonial rules of Japan and pursue creative style of Korean arts. In 1948, he was seated as a dean of Hongik University in Seoul. He was influenced by Art informel and European abstractionism by leaving for France in 1958, which enabled him to have reputation on Korean traditional materials in a modern painting skills.〔(드로잉·소품 100여점 첫 공개… 이응로·남관展 ‘동행’ ) Kookmin Ilbo 2009-04-19〕 He signed a contract with Galerie Facchetti in Paris and held exhibition on collage. 1965 São Paulo international biennale gave him a bigger reputation as a painter in France.〔(미술사 거목 김종영·이응노의 ‘나의 살던 고향은’ ) Kyunghyang Shinmun 2012-11-12〕 He went back and forth from East Germany to meet his son who fell apart during Korean War, which involved him in a political scandal in 1967 which caught up tens of Koreans living in Europe under the suspicion that they spied for North Korean authorities.〔(Changwon Lee, DISAPPEAR )〕 After two and a half years, French government supported him to be released and he headed to France after this incident.〔(故 이응로 화백 옥중작품 2002 광주비엔날레 전시 )〕〔(탈(脫)신화, 탈(脫)정치화로 본 이응로와 윤이상 ) Sindong-A 2008-11-25〕 The political scandal crippled his relationship with Korean artists later on, limiting his works to be initiated in France, Switzerland, Japan, United States and Belgium. Although he managed to hold his private art exhibition in 1975, he never came back to Korea since another political scandal ruined his stay in South Korea, which resulted in gaining French citizenship in 1983. His works also gained opportunities to open art exhibition in Pyeongyang〔(동백림 사건, 유럽 유학생등 동베를린·北 방문 ) 2005-02-23 Hankook Ilbo〕 and he could eventually reunite his son. In 1989, his first exhibition in Seoul was held, whereas South Korean authorities rejected his visit in the end. Unfortunately, he died of heart attack at the opening day of this exhibition not to visit his motherland ever after.〔(Yi Eungro -''naver'' )〕 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「Yi Eungro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
