Early life and education
[edit]Leonard Koren was born in New York City in 1948 and raised in Los Angeles. He attended UCLA, graduating with a master's degree in architecture and urban planning in 1972.[1]
Career
[edit]In 1969, Koren co-founded the Los Angeles Fine Arts Squad, a mural painting group. After graduation, he worked as an artist in Los Angeles, focusing on bathing environments.
In 1976, Koren founded WET magazine, a periodical dedicated to gourmet bathing.[2] The magazine was influential in the development of postmodern aesthetics.[3] In 1981, WET ceased publication, and Koren moved to Japan, where he wrote several works on aesthetics. From 1983 through 1986, he produced a column on cultural anthropology for a Japanese magazine.
Koren wrote Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets and Philosophers (1994), which helped bring the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi into Western aesthetic theory.[2][4]
