김백봉 <선의 유동>의 미학적 고찰: 헤겔의 예술미를 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to shed light on the artistry of <Flow of Line> choreographed by Kim, Baek-Bong from the view of ‘artistic beauty’ of G. W. F. Hegel. Since the first performance in 1959 at Won Kak Sa, <Flow of Line> has been transmitted and performed by her students. It has been performed for 6 minutes and 30 minutes; the order of compositions of the music for this performance is Jungmori in 10 beat, Jungjungmori in 12 beat, Jajinmori in 14 beat, and Hwimori in 70 beat; it starts with a slow tempo and gradually develops to a fast tempo. According to Hegel, ‘content’ and ‘form’ are the material components actualizing the art in the real world. The ‘content’, the expression of artist’s identity, consists of ‘Phantasie’, ‘Begeisterung’, and ‘Talent’, and the ‘form’, the method for logical expression of content’ consist of ‘Manier’, ‘Stil’, and ‘Originalität’. The content of <Flow of Line> is appeared through the creative imagination by natural subjects, snow crystal and cocoon, the inspiration consisting of internal motive, large flakes, and external motive, the necessity of designing a new work, and the unique capability(genius) for choreographing a group dance such as the number and positions of dancers and structural changes by musical and spatial compositions. The form of <Flow of Line> is appeared by the changes in linear form. The straight lines and curves in the work reveal the traditional patterns of group dances. Those lines secure the external formality through regularity, symmetry, and generality. Also, the uniqueness of <Flow of Line> is shown by the critical essays good at integrating and proposing the identity and characteristics of the work displayed at the title of this study. This study assures that <Flow of Line> is not only a performing art with good aesthetic content and form for artistic beauty but also a piece of art with educational value, as well as discovers the spirit of artist deep under its external splendor.
