This is a catalogue for the solo exhibition of Korean artist Kim Yungzai at Daegu Art Museum from September 2012 to January 2013.

'The exhibition Kim Yung Zai displays about 50 oil paintings, including his donations of 19 of his early works from the 1960s and more recent geometric works produced in 2012. This retrospective exhibition is the exhibition commemorating his donations of 19 pieces of his art works to the Daegu Art Museum as well.
'Kim Yung Zai has produced various striking paintings based upon his experiences, from the domestic natural environment, including mountains and rivers, to worldwide aspects of nature. In the 1960s, he painted mainly works reflecting the country's anxious mental predicament after the Korean War.
'In the 1970s, he produced landscapes featuring the balance between geometric river courses and representational riversides characterized by brighter scenery.
Kim Yung Zai, who became fascinated by mountains after climbing the Alps in 1979, has focused on the theme of mountains and pioneered his own unique mountain painting style. His landscapes overwhelm spectators with simple ridges, perspectives made by surfaces with subtle contrasts and blue solid tones.' - extracted from Daegu Art Museum's web page on this exhibition.

Include interpretive essays, an interview by the curator and artist's biography.
