오경석과 淸 문사의 회화교류 및 그 성격

Abstract

Oh Gyeongseok , interpreter was one of the people who tried to trigger exchange activities of paintings between Korea and China. Apart from that he once made some contacts to paintings and calligraphic works market in Beijing as a collector, his achievements in painting exchanges seem to be rather typical and traditional exchange aspects which were between scholars. This tendency might come from Oh's relations between teachers and disciples. Oh Gyeongseok was one of disciples who directly belong to Lee Sangjeok and Lee made him to be one of disciples of Kim Jeonghee. Oh Gyeongseok succeeded an elder generation patterns of painting exchanges by associating with renowned scholars in China such as Kong Xianyi and Pan Zuyin. These patterns can be divided into two types: Some reflect Jeonbae's features such as making Elegant assembly painting in commemoration with companionship. There are, however,some different features as well. This difference may explain that one of distinctive features of Oh's painting exchange between Korea and China, intends to exchange paintings between two countries rather than to accelerate friendly relations between scholars. Oh partly succeeded Lee's pattern in exchanging and extended his boundaries to new scholars from different hometown who did not belong to the existing network of Ong Banggang in Jeolseo region. This also reflects that the traditional Chinese system was slowly dismantling. Oh made powerful achievements as a painter by associating Chinese scholars. In particular, he painted "ume blossoms" a lot, Chinese associates requested his works of "ume blossoms" and sometimes they copied his works. In the mean time, Oh encountered a painter working in Shanghai and this made him and his master Lee Sangjoek, to introduce the style of Shanghai.
