God pictures in Korean contexts : the ownership and meaning of shaman paintings

Laurel Kendall (Author), Chong-sŭng Yang (Author), Yŏl-su Yun (Author)
Shamans depicted walking on knives, fairies shown riding on clouds, kings astride dragon mounts: some find such pictures unsettling, some charming. Pursued by collectors, venerated as the seats of gods, Korean shaman paintings are all of these things. Laurel Kendall, Jongsung Yang, and Yul Soo Yoon explore what it is that makes these works magical or sacred - more than 'just paintings'
