이의성(李義聲, 1757-1833)의 『청류만록(靑流漫錄)』과 금강산도

Abstract

Lee Ui-seong (李義聲) was a literati artist and son of a concubine who produced paintings of Mt. Geumgang based on Kim Hong-do (金弘道)'s Haesancheop(海山帖) album. Cheongnyu mallok(靑流漫錄) is a record of pleasure trips and events attended by Lee with his close superiors and subordinates while serving as governor of Heupgok County from 1825 to 1830. This study focuses on the content of Oseonam jemyeongcheop(五仙嵒題名帖), an album of writings contained in Cheongnyu mallok, examining the fact that Lee travelled in person to the Guryongyeon region in Outer Geumgang and to part of the Mt. Seorak range, and on his social relationships. It is also assumed that Oseonam jemyeongcheop contained pictures. The five years for which Lee was governor of Heupgok were an important period during which he not only made his trips to Mt. Geumgang but also established the friendships that formed the basis for his production of Mt. Geumgang paintings. The individuals with whom Lee associated at this time, including Gangwon provincial governors such as Hong Gyeong-mo and Jeong Won-yong, and fellow officials such as Yu Cheol-jo, influenced his painting and functioned as important supporters. Lee Ui-seong's Mt. Geumgang paintings, like several other 19th century Mt. Geumgang painting albums, were based on Kim Hong-do's Haesancheop. But their simplified line drawings, bright and refreshing colors and formal processes and changes reveal literati tastes and can be regarded as a continuation of the literati painting style of 18th century artists such as Lee In-sang and Jeong Su-yeong. Lee Ui-seong's painting style is reflected in the folk painting Gwandong palgyeongdo, by an unknown artist; the relationship between Lee's works and folk paintings therefore presents a subject for future research.
