Timeline
Chung Yangmo (born 1934) is a South Korean art historian, known for his expertise in Korean ceramics.
Chung Yangmo was born in 1934 as the fourth and final son of Chung Inbo (정인보; 鄭寅普), a historian and author during the Japanese colonial period.
He is an admirer of the works of Joseon Dynasty landscape painter Jeong Seon.
Chung's family was divided by the Korean War: his father and elder sister Chung Kyung-wan were taken to North Korea in 1950.
He received his B.S. degree in history from Seoul National University in 1958.
Chung began his career in the National Museum of Korea in 1962.
For much of his early career he worked under Choi Sun-u (최순우; 崔淳雨), then one of the country's foremost experts on Korean ceramics.
In 1963, while holding the position of assistant researcher in the art department of the museum, he participated in fieldwork led by Choi in Yangju, and discovered a kiln from the late Goryeo Dynasty in a village near Dobongsan.
He met the woman who would become his wife, Ewha Womans University student Lee Jung-won (이중원; 李仲瑗), in 1964 when she was preparing to write her thesis on pottery.
He gave up on his plans to study abroad in order to marry her in 1967, and the couple went on to have two sons and a daughter.
Chung is a close friend of ceramicist Min Young-ki (민영기; 閔泳麒) and painter Chun Sung-woo (전성우; 全筬雨).
From 1984 to 1986, Chung served as director of the Gyeongju National Museum.
He went on to become the director of the National Museum of Korea, serving from 1993 to 1999.
In 1998, Min and Chun jointly made a Buncheong-style stoneware bowl for him, which is on display at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco.
In May 2003, he was appointed as the new commissioner of the Cultural Heritage Administration of Korea's Cultural Properties Commission.
In 2004 he received news that Kyung-wan was still alive.
One of his other elder sisters, Chung Yang-wan (정양완), became a scholar of Korean literature with the Academy of Korean Studies.
He served in that position until 2005, when he was succeeded by Seoul National University professor Ahn Hwi-joon (안휘준; 安輝濬).
In 2005, Chung received the Silver Crown of the Order of Cultural Merit from the government of South Korea.
In 2013 his fellow scholars published a Festschrift in his honour to celebrate his eightieth year of life (in East Asian age reckoning).
