If you liken fine Asian porcelains to Shakespearean sonnets, each a masterpiece constructed within strict rules of form, then the organic and unrestrained Korean buncheong ceramics are analogous to e.e. cummings†free verse. That, at least, is the premise behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art⁳ current exhibition, ⁐oetry in Clay: Korean Buncheong Ceramics.†The collection of white slip works, many of them Korean National Treasures, makes a compelling case for the title. The exhibition, on view at the Met in New York City through August 14, features 70 works of art, including 60 masterpieces from the Leeum Museum. Examples of Japanese Edo period ceramics from the Met⁳ permanent collection and works by contemporary potters demonstrate the far-reaching influence on buncheong.

통일신라시대 이후에는 고분에 껴묻거리를 묻는 문화가 없어지면서 대체로 현재까지 전해내려오는 유물이 그리 많지 않은편이다. 조선시대의 경우는 진왜란 이후 많은 문서들이 전행기때문에 유물들이 풍부한 편이지만 고려시대는 유형적인 유물로는 고려청자를 비롯한 도자기, 여러 사찰들에 남아 있는 불상이나 불화, 승탑 등을 제외하고는 다양한 유물이 전해오지는 않고 있다. 이는 중국이나 일본 등 동아시아에서 보편적으로 나타나는 현상이라고 할 수 있다. 그런 까닭에 대체로 고려시대 유물로는 각 박물관에서는 고려자기를 주로 전시하고 있는 형편으로 당시 역사나 생활모습을 보여주기에는 부족해 보이는 부분이기도 하다. 우리나라의 도자기 인류의 도자 문화는 신석기 시대 곡물의 저장과 조리용으로 토기를 사용한 것으로 시작된다. 우리..
