ABSTRACT

Korean artists moved to Paris in the 1950s are the representative cases to show the process that Korean modern art was internationalized by accepting Western art style directly going beyond the Japanese art. Korean Modernists were attracted to Parisian art movements and art groups such as Cubism and Bazaine group. At the same time, they began to recognize the problems of the Western art introduced through Japan to Korea and exert their efforts to avoid them. Most of them came back to Korea around the year of 1960 and took the leading roles in the dissemination and internationalization of Korean modern art. From the early 1960s, Korea began to participate in international exhibitions of Biennale de Paris to step up the efforts of internationalization of Korean modern art.
