SHIN Gyung Jin / Art and Power: Tracing the Figure of the Artist in Korean Art History (3) 藝術與權力 – 韓國藝術史中藝術家身份形象的遞變（三）

In response to continuous authoritarian governments, anti-traditionalist Monochrome Painting versus pro-social participatory Public Art were born. The irony is that dictatorship incited economic growth which subsequently created a new class of art consumers: art galleries were born, inciting a growing demand for new species art and younger artists of promise. 韓國南北割裂之後，獨裁政府的持續在藝壇導致兩種不同的反應。抽象藝術的出現以反傳統、反具象、反日本影響為目標；而民眾藝術則伴隨民主運動，把創作帶到街頭，強調藝術的社會參與的面向。同時，獨裁統治催生經濟，新的財富階級打開了藝廊的潮流，藝術商品投資化令藝術品種類擴大，發現新進藝術家的需要亦由此而起。
