A special exhibition where you can glimpse into the artistic world of Marc Chagall, known as a master of modern art, will be held in Jeonju.
The Jeonju Cultural Foundation (CEO Choi Rak-gi) will host the exhibition "Marc Chagall Exhibition," showcasing the works of the world-renowned master of modern art, from June 10 to June 21 at the Palbok Art Factory A Building 2nd floor exhibition hall and the Ipapnamu Hall.
This exhibition is a special exhibition commemorating the 140th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Korea and France, as well as celebrating the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Jeonju Cultural Foundation, which has been leading the cultural and artistic development of Jeollabuk Province for the past 20 years.
Featuring a total of around 350 original prints, oil paintings, drawings, and more by Chagall, this exhibition boasts one of the largest scales ever seen in a Chagall exhibition in Korea.
The exhibition is divided into six sections, such as "Singing Love," "Approaching the Divine in a World of Fantasy," highlighting Chagall's lyrical style and unique symbolic system in depth.
In particular, major Chagall works from the "Strabag Collection" owned by Hans-Peter Haselsteiner, a prominent collector from Austria, will be unveiled for the first time in Korea, drawing attention from the art world.
Choi Rak-gi, CEO of the Jeonju Cultural Foundation, stated, "Encountering the artistic world of the global master Chagall in the most Korean city of Jeonju will be a very meaningful experience," and expressed hope that "this exhibition will reaffirm the value of cultural exchange between France and Korea and provide an opportunity for citizens to enjoy high-quality cultural experiences."
