황수영 박사의 생애와 학문세계

Abstract

This study discussed systematically the life and academic world of Dr. Hwang Soo‐yeong, the master of contemporary studies of Korean art history. First, because Dr. Hwang Soo‐yeong’s entire life was committed to academic activities, this study was confined to his academic life. According to the findings of this study, his life is largely divided into the periods of learning, growth, maturity, and completion. The period of learning is 29 years, the period of growth 23 years, the period of mature 19 years, and the period of completion 25 years. Therefore, it is for about 38 years that he was active in academic research. Naturally as he was committed to academic activities or supported academic researches for nearly 40 years, he made considerable achievements in different areas. Second, his major achievements are grouped largely into five areas: firstly, the organization and publication of Dr. Ko Yoo‐seop’s posthumous manuscripts; secondly, remarkable contributions to the foundation of the Archaeology and Arts Club and the publishing of the Journal of Archaeology and Arts; thirdly, launching two academic departments related to cultural heritages and art history including the Department and Graduate School of Buddhist Arts and the Department of Art History; fourthly, pioneering and establishing research on Buddhist arts and Buddhist art history (Buddhist statues, stupas, Buddhist articles, epigraphy, and Sutra duplication); and fifthly, contributions to the restoration of the Seokguram Grotto and the surveys of stone cave temples in Korea and other countries.
