유강열 작품의 시기별 특징과 섬유미술사적 위상

Abstract

2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Yoo Kangyul(1920-1976). From 1953 to 1976, he took the lead in leading the modern art world as a dyeing craftsman, engraving artist, craft educator, and interior designer. In this paper, his work was largely divided into three periods. In the 1950s, he produced dyeing works, in the 1960s, in addition to engraving works, and in the 1970s, he produced interior and texture design works. The summary is as follows. In the 1950s, he led the field of dyeing crafts. Previously, embroidery was the mainstream in this field, which revolutionized when he submitted his dyeing work to the Second National Exhibition in 1953. He is regarded as the first generation to contribute to the development of modern dyeing craft in Korea by exploring traditional images and producing lead-flammatory works. In the 1960s, the print sector was incorporated into art. He studied in the U.S. in 1958 and followed the trend of abstract expressionism that was popular at that time along with various engraving techniques. He produced Calligraphy abstracts that selected cultural assets as the subject but dismantled the composition or form that simplified the form according to the international trend. Therefore, he is regarded as the first generation to build a foundation for the modern printing sector of Korea. In the 1970s, the craft education field was reformed. As a professor of crafts at Hongik University, he introduced Bauhaus-style education rather than apprenticeship education to understand the genres of dyeing and engraving. In addition, the circular design embodies a Korean aesthetic sense that stands out in simple form and primary color contrast. Based on this, it is evaluated as the first generation of design that has expanded to the realm of design. As such, Yoo Kangyul practiced Korean motifs and beauty in a formative manner throughout his life and contributed to the development of modern textile art history by his disciples, including salt crafting, textile art, and design.
