클림트 회화 문양을 응용한 니트 웨어 디자인 연구 - 패치워크 기법을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study designed knit wear using patterns in the paintings of Gustav Klimt known as a master in art nouveau, selecting those painted during his best days. Klimt’s paintings not only express expressionistic and symbolic images but also produce a mysterious power through elegance and liberality. In particular, various lines and geometric decorations of art nouveau style used by Klimt have formative features applicable also to fashion images. The objective of this study is to develop materials of unique and rich texture by applying the patterns and using techniques such as stitching, pelting, knitting and patchwork, and to expand the expression area of highly formative knit wear design by imaging the artistic patterns of Klimt’s paintings in harmony with knit wear. As to the contents and methods of this study, first, we examined Klimt’s life and the characteristics, colors and patterns of his paintings through literature review, and borrowed motifs from various patterns and colors of Klimt’s paintings. Furthermore, as a part of general review of knit wear, we studied cases of recent patterning techniques including hand knitting, machine knitting, patchwork, embroidery, and printing through literature review and Internet materials. Then, literature on manufacturing techniques such as patchwork and applique were studied, and today’s trends were surveyed and analyzed, and based on the theoretical background, four pieces of knit wear were created.
