> Professor Jin’s talk revisits the life and work of Lee Qoede (1913–1965), a pivotal modernist painter who worked through Japanese occupation, the Korean War, and his eventual exile to North Korea. Once celebrated for his innovation, Lee later disappeared from South Korean art history under the pressures of Cold War ideology and censorship. Jin’s research reconstructs his artistic networks across Korea, Japan, and beyond, situating his work within transnational currents such as Mexican muralism and mid-century social realism.
> 
> Drawing on archival discoveries, misattributed works, family photographs, wartime newspapers, and oral histories, the lecture will present key images, new attributions, and the research trail that makes it possible to see Lee Qoede—and the broader landscape of Korean modernism—anew.
