Notes
- Abstract:
- Kim Ki-Chang, widely considered one of the most important Korean painters of the 20th Century. -- He suffered from typhoid fever at a young age and subsequently lost his hearing ability. As a teen, his mother introduced him to the artworld. The Moonlight represents an important period in the artist's life from the 1970s, where he began to solely use black ink. -- "Because I have been in a silent world for a long time I do believe that I had been able to concentrate on my paintings. If it were not so, things might have been different. I think that my long term of silence separated my works from other artists. Anyway, my muteness doesnt grieve me and I have never been saddened by it." Kim Ki-Chang (Eun Bo) (1914 - 2001). -- Source: "Life and Culture in Korea" website: http://park.org/Korea/Pavilions/PublicPavilions/KoreaImage/e-information/culture/kimgc.html -- Rogallery biography timeline: http://www.rogallery.com/Kim_Ki_Chang/kim_bio.htm ( en )
