Perhaps the paintings in a museum are subjected to more nonsense than you would hear anywhere else in the world.
The language that comes out of an artist's life is the painting itself. It contains the most ordinary lives that know failure, desire, recoiling in fear, and compromise.
Learning is about understanding that language. We miss much of what the paintings speak because there is no way to ask the long-dead painters about the philosophy of their lives.
In an alleyway in the residential area of Jongno, there's a peculiar art gallery. This place enables us to transcend such limitations. By sheer coincidence, I ended up visiting that place and began living an entirely different life.
