This is the first monograph on the subject to be published in English. It comprises 130 full-colour plates of shaman gods. Supported by two introductory chapters ‘Reflections on Shaman God Paintings and Shamanism’ by Kim Tae-gon, and ‘The Shaman God Paintings as an Icon and its Artistic Qualities’ by Bak Yong-suk, both distinguished authorities in the study of Korean shamanism, The Paintings of Korean Shaman Gods offers a very accessible introduction to understanding Korean shamanism and its art. Its broad appeal will be welcomed by both specialists and generalists in the fields of Asian studies, art history and cultural and religious studies.
