The Korea Times, the oldest English-language newspaper published in South Korea, featured the Cleveland Museum of Art in a recent article. The museum will hold an exhibition called "The Lure of Painted Poetry: Japanese and Korean Art" from March 27 to August 28.

Korean and Japanese artists have combined visual art and poetry for centuries, using the themes of classical Chinese poetry as inspiration for calligraphy, painting, and the decorative arts.

The works in this exhibition, like the Chinese poems upon which they are based, explore the theme of "spiritual utopia and liberation from a mundane life." Contemporary objects as well as works from the Muromachi, Momoyama, and Edo periods of Japan (1392-1867) and the Joseon Kingdom of Korea (1392-1910) will be featured.

The exhibition was organized by Sun Seung-hye, associate curator of Japanese and Korean Art for the Cleveland Museum of Art.
