	PAINTER WITH NEEDLES - Korean embroiderer Young Yang Chung
		From the age of fourteen, Chung has produced, as she aptly notes, "paintings with a needle." The exuberance with which she describes Korean embroidery, and the Chinese embroidery from which it is derived, has won over some of the devotees of and experts on East Asian art who have tended to ignore the decorative arts.
		Simultaneously, she devoted considerable time and effort to the study of Western and Eastern embroideries in the Textile Study Room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
		Her works illustrate her assertion that "the ornamental vocabulary and color schemes used by East Asian artists are replete with symbolism." A four-panel screen of a white crane, a symbol of longevity in East Asia, embodies this reaffirmation of the important touchstones of Chinese and Korean culture.
