우리 옷을 그리다: 권오창 화백 기증 복식인물화

The National Daegu Museum presents the work of painter Kwon O-chang (Dong-gang), who devoted half a century to reviving historical figures and their traditional costumes on canvas. His paintings restore color and life to figures known only through black-and-white photographs, reconstructing complete outfits from scattered elements. The 155 compositions and 168 paintings, resulting from meticulous research and scholarship, were generously donated to the museum. Running from July 7 to September 27, 2026, this exhibition honors the artist's significant gift and celebrates the beauty of our garments and culture.
