Lee Ufan (Korean: 이우환, Hanja: 李禹煥, Korean pronunciation: [iːuhwan] born 1936 in Haman County, in South Kyongsang province in Korea) is a Korean[1]minimalist painter and sculptor[2] artist and academic, honored by the government of Japan for having "contributed to the development of contemporary art in Japan."[3] The art of this artist, who has long been based in Japan, is rooted in an Eastern appreciation of the nature of materials and also in modern European phenomenology.
About 1956, a peculiar artist’s oil color slipped on to Francis Bacon’s palette. Standing in front of “Figures in a Landscape” at a recent exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I saw Phthalo Green dart along the edges of Bacon’s broad strokes and watched the intensely chilly color sink into the background.
Bacon was increasingly dependent on this color until the last love of his life. During his final decade, the color is almost gone.
