"Family" (1955) by Chang Ucchin, his first painting of a family, has been unveiled for the first time at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art's latest exhibition at its Deoksu Palace branch in central Seoul. [MMCA] Chang Ucchin (1917-1990), one of Korea's most celebrated modern artists, is known for his childlike yet affectionate paintings of everyday themes, especially magpies, trees and families. The painter, alongside Park Soo-keun, Kim Whanki, Lee Jung-seob and Yoo Young-kuk, is considered to have pioneered a new chapter in the history of Korean modern art by imbuing Western oil painting techniques with Eastern spirituality motifs.
