The news is that you will be able to see an original painting of the work of Lee Su-ji, who was the first Korean to win the Hans Christian Andersen Prize, which is called the 'Nobel Prize in children's literature'.
Currently, Seoul Arts Center has been holding the exhibition 'My Love: Everyone's Picture Book Exhibition' at the Hangaram Design Museum since December 24, last year, in order to inform Korea of the power of Korean picture books that only the world knew and we did not know.
This exhibition is a place where you can see all the representative works of 7 Korean creative picture book authors in one space.
He also created a shadow theater and a sock skating rink, allowing picture books to be experienced in real life.
The Seoul Arts Center said, "This exhibition, the last chance to see the original painting of artist Lee Su-ji, is open until the 27th."
Meanwhile, Lee Su-ji became the first Korean to be awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Prize, which is called the 'Nobel Prize in Children's Literature' on the 21st local time.
It is a splendid achievement after being nominated for the first time in 2016 and after the second challenge.
The Andersen Prize, created in 1956 to commemorate Andersen, who is called the 'father of fairy tales', is called the 'Nobel Prize in children's literature' because it comprehensively reviews all the works created by the author to determine their artistic value and merit.
This author was praised for expanding the possibilities as a visual language by making use of the characteristics of paper books to unfold children's real and fantasy worlds.
Last month, for her picture book 'Summer Is Coming', this author received international attention, including the Bologna Ragazzi Award for Excellence in Fiction.
This is a 'news pick'.
