AB - Yeoseong misul (Women’s Art), which emerged in the mid-1980s in close connection with Minjung misul, marks the start of Korean feminist art. Art history and criticism began to introduce Western feminist art and theory during this period, and it intensified into the early 1990s. These developments occurred alongside the translation and debates surrounding the discourse of “postmodernism,” which significantly affected the Korean art scene. The Women’s Art Society, leading the Women’s Art movement, closely engaged with and evolved alongside the Korean women’s movement. Their annual exhibition “Women and Reality” shows that their focus was not restricted to the overarching societal transformation sought by Minjung misul. Instead, the artists pursued rigorous experimentation with content and form to reflect shifting social realities. However, feminist criticism and art history have often categorized Women’s Art as ideological and class-oriented, rooted in Minjung misul. This study investigates the case within the context of Western feminist art practice, criticism, and art history’s translation into Korea during the early 1990s.
