Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Korean modern art masters, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea presents a series of exhibitions to introduce the life and art of the three artists: Lee Jung-seob (1916~56), one of the nationally noted artists; Yoo Young-guk(1916~2002), one of the pioneers of Korean abstract art; and Pen Varlen(1916~90), the artist who has not been very well known in Korea until now.
Pen Varlen is a Goryeoin(Koreans in Russia and Central Asia) artist and educator who was born in Primorsky, or the Maritime Province, Russia, studied art in Saint Petersburg(former Leningrad), and spent most of his life in the city. His life and art penetrate not only the modern and contemporary history of Korea such as colonialization, division of the nation, war, and ideological conflicts, but also that of Russia, the country which experienced the communist revolution, the Second World War, totalitarianism, the cold war, Perestroika and Gladnost.
