Lee Lee Nam - Diamond Mountains - Korea

This is a re-post from last year's blog:

Today we looked at Lee Lee-Nam’s New Geumgangjeondo (New Complete View of Mount Geumgang) (2009), currently on view in the Schnitzer Gallery (now in the Korean Galleries).  Thought you would enjoy knowing a bit more about this artist and his art.


Here is a link to an interview with the artist.  At the end of the text, there are links to four of his other works.
