안도 요시시게(安藤義茂)와 부산 근대 화단

Abstract

This study is to redefine his times in Busan in various viewpoints by focusing on Yoshisige ANDO who was a painter for the western drawing and called as a pioneer in the modern arts in Busan. On the other hand, it is purposed to reveal how his experience in Busan made influence on the progression of his painting. It was 1927 when he reached to Busan after graduating from the Tokyo Fine Arts School and working as a drawing teacher for a long time. Since then, he stayed about 8 years and continued his vibrant activities in diversity such as holding the arts exhibition in Busan, organizing the arts association and operating the training school. Consequently, it is hard to deny that his absolute influencing power in Busan hindered the diversification on the world of arts, and the official academic traditions oriented to Tokyo Fine Arts School made influence on the Busan modern artist circle. But it will be necessary to newly evaluate that he contributed to the growth of the local world of the arts and distribution of the arts against the central world of the arts. Actually, the world of arts in Busan had transformed rapidly since the emergence of Ando. Thousands of spectators visited the exhibition hall to appreciate the art works of the era. The emergence of the first generation painters for western drawing in Busan was backgrounded with the growth of the world of contemporary arts in Busan. On the other hand, Busan was a place for him to be granted with the possibility of new creation as a 'painter' who lived his life as a teacher while working on drawing teacher since his graduation from Tokyo Fine Arts School. Especially, Busan was a motive of creation which opened his new potentiality as a painter beyond the simple colonial area to Ando who had drawn colonial Korea consistently since his arrival as he was so attracted to the custom and landscape of colonial Korea. In this viewpoint, his career during the era in Busan can be said to show his living as a Japanese painter resided at Busan as marginal man among the inland, colonial Korea, central and local region.
