Minjung art (original) (raw)
Minjung art (Korean: 민중미술, romanization: minjung misul) emerged during the 1980s in South Korea as part of the Minjung movement in the wake of the Gwangju Uprising (1980). Minjung artists utilized a wide array of forms, including oil painting, woodblock print, collage, photomontage, banner painting, and readymade, in order to respond to the political and social climate of the time. A number of artworks were produced for and used in protests, and thus led artists to use reproducible mediums like print. Artist collectives like Reality and Utterance and the Association of Gwangju Freedom Artists played a large role in minjung art, exemplifying the tendency of minjung art to deemphasize individual authorship and maintain a publically-minded ethos.

While minjung art began to wane in the early 1990s, "post-minjung" artists took up the mantle to revisit and draw on minjung art's legacy. A number of shows both at home and abroad have sought to present and historicize minjung art in spite of its long marginalization in Korean contemporary art history. Recent scholarship has sought to reevaluate minjung art's relationship to the minjung movement, expand its history to consider its presentation abroad, and chart its historical linkages with realist art, as well as more recent contemporary art.
