"Lee Young Jun PEN ART" Pen Art(General Remarks) Infinity of lines and dots have symbolism. Such symbolism is ever changing according to the spirit’s depth. All works are kaleidoscopic; they are usually composed of indescribable expressions. Therefore, art’s depth also can be said to be unlimited. Is pen art’s depth also infinite? In other words, do the lines and dots flowing from the nib of a pen have an artistic qualification? In this respect, it is worth thinking deeply. Pen art begins from an essence of nature’s fundamental values. From the standpoint of value, or color, a harmony of black and white is essential in nature. As it is impossible to see any color in darkness, distinguishing color is an essential role of light. That is why the soul is drawn to light. Whiteness, or light is a spiritual reflection of the soul while blackness, or darkness is a reality of life on earth. As the color green is an essential color of vegetation, burnt charcoal is an earthy color that will stay near black. Blackness is heterogeneous and may be hostile to life. If blackness belongs to the essence of nature, it also may be said to represent the image of death. A combination of black and white constitutes degrees of lightness and darkness. When painting black on a white background, the soul is transported to the white background. Whiteness comes to life when contrasted with black line and black space. In this case, soul also may be expressed through the blackness. Soul may be transported to the black or a combination of white and black, which shed a mysterious merit to the soul or spirit. Pen arts starts and ends from an essence of nature’s fundamental contrasts. The primary essence is infinite and eternal while the artistic harmony of black and white can take one’s breath away. But, this is not possible until a metamorphosis has been realized over many years and spiritual transcendence has occurred. The transfer of spirit occurs when one’s life experiences are projected onto the white canvas in harmony with blackness. That is the true ‘pen art.’ Artist Lee Young Jun I am a Korean. I pioneered the " Lee Young Jun Pen Art " and Perfected the genre. I am Artist Lee Young Jun. Pen Art is the only genre is an important work In the world. The works are extremely valuable. And no one is able to work not dare to imitate. The hope my work can be sympathy to many people. Thank you. "Lee young jun PEN ART 총론" (총론 :總論)PEN ART(Korea) ------------------------------------------- 선과 점의 무한함은 상징성이 있다. 그 상징성은 정신의 깊이에 따라 변화무쌍(變化無雙)하다. 모든 작품이 그러하다. 변화무쌍하기 때문에 형언할 수 없는 표현으로 이어진다. 그리하여 예술의 깊이는 무한한 것이다. 펜의 예술이라고 하면 깊이가 무한함이 있을까? 일반적으로 펜의 끝에서 흘러나오는 선과 점이 과연, 예술성을 갖출 수 있겠는가 라는 점이다. 이점에 대하여 깊이 생각할 필요가 있다. 펜의 예술은 자연의 근본적인 색채의 본질에서부터 시작한다. 색채의 본질에서 보면 흑(黑), 백(白)의 조화는 자연의 근본적(根本的)이다. 조명이 없는 어두운 곳에서는 색을 볼 수 없듯이 색을 구분할 수 있게 해주는 것이 빛의 본질적인 작용이다. 때문에 흰색으로 나타나는 빛 속에서 영(靈)을 이끌어 들인다. 흰색 또는 빛은 영(靈)의 혼적(魂的)인 영상이다. 자연색은 검은 색이다. 녹색이 식물의 본질적인 색채인 것처럼 타버린 숯은 검은색으로 남는 본질적인 색상이다. 절대적인 어둠 속에서 어떤 생명의 운동도 있을 수 없다. 검은색은 생명에 대한 이질적(異質的)이고 적대성 (敵對性)이 있다. 검은색이 자연의 본질(本質)이라면, 검은색은 죽음의 영적(靈的)인 영상이다. 흰색이 검은색과 결합(結合)할 때 명암(明暗)이 이뤄진다. 흰 화면에 검은색을 칠하면 靈이 흰 화면에 이입(移入)된다. 검은 선(線), 검은 면(面)과 만날 때, 흰색은 부활(復活)한다. 검은 색을 통하여 영을 표현할 수 있다. 영(靈)이란 검은색 속에 이입될 수 있는 유일한 것이며, 영과 혼의 색채 흑(黑), 백(白)을 결합(結合)하면 신비함을 갖는다. 그리고 펜의 예술은 자연의 근본적인 색채의 본질 에서부터 시작하여 근본적인 색채의 본질에서 끝을 맺는다. 근본적인 본질은 무한(無限)하고 영원함이 있으며, 흑, 백의 조화는 예술적(藝術的)으로 충분히 살아 숨쉴 수 있다. 그것은 오랜 시간을 통하여 다듬고 완성된 경지를 이룬 뒤에야 가능하고, 혼(魂)을 담는 완벽한 선율이 전제 되어야 한다. 흑, 백의 조화 속에 고고(孤高)하고 생생한 선율이 흰 화면에 영이 이입될 때 비로소 영의 세계는 창조(創造)된다. 그것이 진정한 펜의 예술이다. 이영준( 李永俊)

I had a very unique experience as I explored the Holocaust Museum. After learning that the Musuem was founded by actual Holocaust Survivors, I knew that this museum was authentic in every aspect. The staff could not be nicer, and I felt very comfortable and welcomed in the Museum. On top of that, the Museum is FREE of charge! Being on a tight college student budget, i felt relieved. Its rediculous what other musuems charge. The architecutral design of the Museum was really cool. It made the Museum feel more grand. It was interesting exploring the different parts of the museum, as I admired artifcats and pictures. What was really nice was the free audioguide tours. Using an IPod Touch model, I was able to understand each picture and artifact better. Probably the most interesting part of the musuem, was hearing Holocaust Surviviors talk about their experiences during that time period. It was very moving but also amazing to learn how these Survivors managed to live through that horrific time. The Musuem is also in close proximity to the Grove/Farmers Market, and the Pan Pacific Park which was very beautiful. I recommend exploring the Musuem if you ever plan on visiting Los Angeles.

So this museum is right across from The Grove. Just so you know the parking and admission is FREE. The parking lot has a gate, so you have to hit a button to buzz the place and theyll ask you how many people are coming, then theyll open the gate for you to come in. The parking underground is plentiful. After you park your car and get out to your car, you take the elevator up to the museum. They offer you an audio and headphones, which I recommend you taking (dont worry its FREE also). You get to visit through the 9 exhibits and your audio device comes in handy so you can hear the information and hear what other people had to say about their experience. It is a good educational experience. The whole exhibit takes about over an hour to complete. If you end up taking the time and listening to every audio clip, it may take a few hours.

More relevant than ever. Looking at ISIS in the Middle East is a stark reminder that we have not grown past the capacity of human evil. It behooves anyone alive to visit this captivating and haunting shrine/museum. They have iPods for individualized explanations of specific exhibits. No one is too young or too old, to learn about what should never be forgotten. Evil can flourish when the good do nothing or know nothing.

Knew a good deal about the holocaust before coming here, but I learned even more after visiting! Lots of detail, great architectural design. Definitely use the headphones to listen to each piece of information. Makes the experience a lot better. Overall great museum!

The museum is huge, so I suggest you to split your visit on couple days. Come here on Friday night - there is free jazz concert right in front of lantern monument. There is also free classics concert in the building every Sunday at 6p.m.

Its an amazing place....to show some of the horror that Jews experienced its just sad and disturbing. Why not humans love each other like brothers and sisters.. the world would be a perfect place to live every one in harmony..
