한국 현대문인화의 제 경향 연구

Abstract

As is widely known, established studies on Korean literati painting have been mostly on ideational contents pertaining to painting theories or problems in contemporary Korean literati painting based on classical materials by art historians or art critics. Therefore, this thesis is intended to analyze contemporary Korean literati painting through works either in the traditional tendency or the modern tendency, anchored in its writer’s firsthand experience on the spot of art. It also tries to explore Korean literati painting’s new possibility of development, departing from any ideational content that puts emphasis on the nature of contemporary Korean literati painting. n Strictly speaking, it is not easy to define one’s art or his or her inclination and that can often be misunderstood. Even though works are produced by the same artist, they have a big difference in their content and directivity in terms of detail aspects. This study, however, classifies contemporary literati painting into traditional and modern tendencies despite this risk. This is why this extremely simplified classification brings about some advantage while growing away from concreteness. The fundamental frame of contemporary Korean literati painting that is inaccessible due to a body of work could be established through a structural, comprehensive overview of contemporary Korean literati painting.
