박생광 작품에 나타난 전통 민화 차용 연구 -1977년 이후 작품을 중심으로-

Abstract

Traditional Korean folk paintings have been considered nothing but craft art and failed to be recognized as pure painting works in the modern and contemporary art world. Due to these forms and contents, the presence of traditional folk paintings was extremely feeble in the Korean art world, where modernization work was in full swing in the late 1970s. Park Saengkwang is considered a representative artist who created works by adopting traditional folk paintings during this period. In the late 1970s, when the Korean art world was basically absorbed in Western art, an advanced style of painting of the time, while following their spirit and style of painting only, Park Saengkwang started to pay attention to the aesthetics of traditional Korean art unlike others. In particular, he was bold enough to accept traditional folk paintings, which had been regarded as a taboo for being antiquated and outdated. By inquiring about the achievements of Park Saengkwang, who paved the way for a unique Korean style of painting by way of his modern acceptance of traditional art, this study was intended to evaluate the possibility of Korean art making an inroad into the global stage along the international stream of local art in the 21st century.
