Chaekgeori (translated as ‘books and things’) is a still life painting developed in the late Joseon Dynasty and a "representation of the times" that showed the change that Joseon, a country of Confucian ideology, accepted material culture. It is also a world-class painting that contains traces of exchanges with the European Empire, which opened the age of discovery. This book deals with the historical, socioeconomic, and cultural background of the birth and popularity of Chaekgeori. At the same time, the book explores the unique modernity of Chaekgeori, which has been loved worldwide even today, from gender expression, cosmic imagination, and modern expression techniques.
