‘The Things the Painters Loved’ series, which gathers paintings on one theme and looks into the painters' personalities and stories, has returned under the theme of ‘The Sea’. In this book, you can appreciate 101 sea paintings by 18 great artists with commentary by star docent Jung Woo-chul. The sea, which has always been a source of inspiration and a space of comfort for painters, was captured on the canvas with their own stories. Picasso, the greatest genius painter of the 20th century, expressed the beauty of the Mediterranean with a dance of joy. Raoul Dufy, a color wizard, painted a sea of happiness with a sense of rhythm in intense blue. On the other hand, Munch, a painter of solitude, captured the waves of despair struggling after losing love. Mondrian, like a master of abstraction, created a unique sea with only black-and-white dots, lines, and sides left. Like this, the sea was like a mirror that showed the painter's mind. Sea paintings are beyond simple landscape paintings and are a window that best reveals the painter's life and character.
