『금병매화집』의 인물 형상 표현 연구

Abstract

This research tried to extract the feature of the figure expressions in the Ilustrations of Jin Ping Mei(金甁梅畵集). Cao Hanmei(曹涵美) first divides the many characters that appear in the Ilustrations of Jin Ping Mei into three parts, such as female characters, male characters, and group images, and focuses on the main expressions of each, and works relatively systematically. The most important contribution in the expression of female figures can be the various expressions of ‘bearing’(態), which is the pursuit of ‘Spirit’(神) and ‘Similarities in Spirit’(神似). It is an extension of the ancestral tradition and is performed from the gender perspective of ‘femininity’ seen from the perspective of a man. In the expression of the male figure, it is another great advantage that it has made the world of the Ilustrations of Jin Ping Mei come alive in the direction of giving each of the main figures as well as small figures. In addition, the painter deepened the theme of the novel by adding criticism of the audience’s profane consciousness and social conditions through a group image drawing. The novel itself criticizes the state of the late Ming era, but here the painter pursues libido and wealth of those who are in the "era of decency" at the end of the Republic of China.
