A time and space of tranquility
Time still remains to immerse oneself in a touchingly exquisite and intimate grouping
of works of the late Paek Youngsu (1922-2018) at the Musée Cernuschi in Paris. The museum,
dedicated to Far Eastern arts, has on display paintings of the Korean contemporary artist who lived
and worked in France from 1977 to 2011. Whether Paek Youngsu's paintings be described as intentionally naïve or Minimalist, their sheer simplicity evokes moments of comfort, vulnerability, and innocence.
Exposed in a small, glass-enclosed space, the discreet character of the exhibit recalls the nature
of the subject matter--the serenity of the home.
