Seoul Arts Center's Hangaram Design Museum is hosting Le Corbusier’s largest exhibition until Mar. 26, 2017, for the first time in Korea. As is well known, Le Corbusier is a world-famous architect and is remembered in the history as the Father of Modern Architecture. The exhibition is special because many of his works have just been listed on the World Heritage List of UNESCO. Especially his sketches and drawings are very relative to his architecture and and it is also back into spotlight from years ago.

A few days ago, I visited the special exhibition and sketched appreciating a number of his architectural works, paintings, drawings, sculptures and tapestries.

While sketching in and outside the exhibition, I was falling for Le Corbusier's life.

I had a very interesting day with a master of architecture of the 20th century.

20세기 건축의 거장 르 꼬르뷰지에의 주옥같은 작품들~~~
건축작품 이외의 스케치, 드로잉, 수채, 비구상, 조각과 태피스트리...
유네스코 세계유산으로 지정된 후의 서울에서의 특별전시회는
예술의 전당과 세계적인 거장과의 뜻깊은 만남입니다.

Last Saturday I visited the Seoul Arts Center to see the exhibition of the masterpieces of the British Museum under the title "Human Image". The inside was crowded with visitors of course. I appreciated every piece ranging from BC to contemporary works. There were chairs for the keepers. I sat and sketched the scenery. Charcoal was very proper material for the dark and lighted inside. It might be an excuse if I say I couldn't draw them for the rushing visitors. Ratherly I would have liked to enjoy all those masterpieces. Hope you not to miss the exhibit. Thank you!

지난 토요일에 예술의 전당에서 대영박물관 전시회를 관람했어요. 주말이고 해외 박물관 전시라 방문객이 많았어요. 점심도 미리 김밥으로 때우고 들어가서 몇시간 관람하면서 그림은 한두장밖에 못그렸습니다. 다른 관람객에게 방해될 것같기도 했고, 저도 한 작품 한 작품 꼼꼼히 보고 싶었지요. 긴 시대를 아우르는 많은 작품들을 대하면서 많은 생각과 각오를 다지고 나왔습니다.

Today I visited the Seoul Arts Center to see the exhibition of Hur Young-man. It was great because he showed all the history of his works for 40 years as one of the famous cartoonists in Korea. After appreciating his great works I took some rest at the resting space back of the buildings. I sketched three pieces there in cool breezing air. On the way of come-and-go I drew people in subway. The exhibit will be on till July 15. Hope you to visit if possible. 

오늘 예술의 전당에서 열리고 있는 허영만 전시회에 다녀왔어요. 40년간 한국 만화계에 커다란 영향을 끼친 분의 많은 자료들을 보면서 많은 공부가 되었습니다. 전시회 본 후 뒷마당에서 쉬면서 스케치 몇장 했구요. 오가며 모처럼 전철에서 스케치한 것도 올렸습니다. 아직 여유가 있으니 꼭 가서 보시기 바랍니다. 무엇을 하든 그만한 정성은 있어야겠다 싶었습니다.
