1920년대 아동 자유화 운동과 아동 문예 잡지－ 『어린이』와 『긴노후네』를 중심으로

Abstract

In this study, the historical evolution of the “Free Drawing” Movement and its significance in terms of the cultural history of children were reviewed based on “Eorini” of Korea and “Kinnohune” of Japan from the 1920s. The children’s literary magazine, “Kinnohune,” was published in the 1920s, which was the “Golden Age of Fairytale (Douwa) and Nursery Rhymes (Douyo)” in Japan. Recruitment for “Free Drawing” was conducted through the magazine itself as it sympathized with the “Free Drawing” Movement of Yamamoto Kanae. This recruitment defined the entire character of the magazine rather than being a single component of the complete magazine, confirming that the magazine was a critical philosophical practice in itself. This assigns the magazine great significance as a children’s literary magazine. Other children’s magazines were motivated by this to begin their own recruitments for “Free Drawing.” This is what essentially completed the “Comprehensive style of artistic movement magazines of the Taisho Period” which is centered on “ouwa, Douyo, writing, children’s poems, and Free Drawing.” Thus, the “Free Drawing” Movement segued into a movement that changed the paradigm of traditional art education, as lectures and exhibitions were held all over the nation, and media utilization came into play. Bang Jeong-hwan studied the art magazines of the Taisho Period and utilized his knowledge to good effect when editing and operating the “Eorini,” making the cross-cultural relationship between “Eorini” and “Kinnohunae” the most notable one amongst other similar interrelationships. Bang Jeong-hwan acquired artistic compositions for his free drawing section by actively promoting the Youth Movement and Children’s Art Movement through “Eorini.” The “Children’s Movement” of “Eorini” demanded the liberation of persona for children and pursued the free and natural expression of emotion. Bang Jeong-hwan’s thoughts on children emphasized their moral and intellectual education as emphasized in the feudal Confucian society, and also that this education helped the children to become well-rounded persons. The “World Children’s Art Exhibition,” which stemmed from the recruitment for “Free Drawing” conducted by “Eorini” gained nationwide interest and enthusiasm. The recruitment for “Free Drawing” exercised by Bang Jeong-hwan through “Eorini” is a practice of children’s art education and it is a significant part of the youth movement.
