Mira Schendel 1919–1988

While Schendel's style remained intensely personal, it was informed by a diverse range of intellectual and artistic currents. The principles of Zen Buddhism—with its emphasis on simplicity, intuition, and the search for enlightenment—resonated deeply with her aesthetic sensibilities.

South Korean Born in Sunchang Wikipedia in 2/32 languages
