Through this repetition, the act of making becomes a spiritual discipline. Best known for his \u003ci\u003eÉcriture\u003c\/i\u003e series and mastery within the Dansaekhwa movement, the artist used abstraction to examine the unique cultural traumas endured by himself and his family living through the devastating Japanese occupation and Korean War.\u003cbr\u003eThis two-volume slipcased set presents a distinct perspective on the artist's life and artistic philosophy. The first volume is an unfiltered autobiography drawn from Park's own meticulous records going back to his birth and up to the late '70s, featuring contributions from his son, Park Seungho. The second volume illuminates the passionate story of the artist's life through a graphic novel, designed in an accessible and engaging format. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seo-Bo Park,Cho Jinho\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 885725433X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788857254333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Seo-Bo Park","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48242032083199,"sku":"9788857254333","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7acd726f-faaf-4175-a730-97f73969325b.jpg?v=1772657170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/park-seo-bo-seo-bo-park-9788857254333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
