정현웅의 예술의식 연구－『삼사문학』 동인 활동과 미술비평문을 중심으로－

Abstract

Jung Hyun-woong actively performed as a painter and writer in the 1930s. He made his debut as an artist at the Joseon Art Exhibition in the Japanese Goverment-General of Korea, and later worked as an illustrator, painting illustrations and covers. At the same time, he publishes several articles, but his work as a writer is not very well known, and research has not been done properly. Jung Hyun-woong left many writings in various areas, including poetry, essays and criticism, and we can see his consciousness of art through those writings. In this study, we explore his art consciousness through Jung Hyun-woong’s writings. A writing reveals the writer’s own art consciousness, and we can clearly see his art consciousness based on surrealism in his poetry and criticism. Jung Hyun-woong had always pursued new changes in artistic creative activities. Through the writings of critics of the time, we can guess his artistic world and his sense of beauty is also revealed in subsequent writing activities based on surrealism. Therefore, this study takes a look at his artistic sense through the writings of Jeong Hyun-woong. The writings reveal his artistic consciousness. His artistic consciousness built around surrealism is also evident in poetry and criticism. Furthermore, his perception of art is also revealed in critical writings criticizing contemporary artists. We expect further understanding in the modern literature through the literary activity of Jung Hyun-woong who was rather known as a painter.
