2013 07 24 rubin-museum icon2 Famed scholar Robert D. Mowry introduces the development of Korean Buddhist art from its formative phase in the late Three Kingdoms (57BC–668AD) and Unified Silla (668–935) periods through its maturation in the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392), emphasizing architecture and sculpture in the earlier periods and paintings and illuminated sutras in the later periods. In tracing the development of Korean Buddhist art, this lecture explores relationships with China and will identify those characteristics that are uniquely Korean.
