일본 근대 벽화의 전개- 구로다 세이키(黒田淸輝)의 중앙정차장 벽화를 기점으로 -

Abstract

Active drawing of murals according to the western style skills in Japan started from 1900s when Japan had organized the systems as a modern country before and after the Sino-Japanese war and Russo-Japanese war. This paper is purposed to summarize the modern murals trends which had been mentioned fragmentarily based on the mural painting at Main Station (Currently, Tokyo Station)(1914) those are called as an epoch that broke the records of painting objects. The mural painting produced on the theme of modern industries actually was the realization of Koso-ga(構想畵) that pursued at that time by the father of Japanese western painting, Seiki Kuroda(黑田淸輝) and the notification of changes in modern murals in Japan as well. Therefore, this paper revealed the meaning of Koso-ga mentioned by Seiki Kuroda and looked into the courses of transforming the trends intensified to Japanese tradition and history to the symbolic space beyond the time and space by means of specific cases intensively to 1900-1930s before and after the production of mural painting at Main Station. The compromise of early Japanese and western styles and the trends reproducing Japanese history and legends realistically in the mean time of grafting new artistic trend which puts weight on the artistic molding through the Meiji Restoration historicism era can be said as transformed to the decorative and symbolic space excluding the narrativity of stories reached to 1920s. Actually, a lot of cases are appeared at the murals made around this time including the Yasuda(安田) auditorium mural painting(1925) drawn by Mise Kosugi(小杉未醒) at Tokyo University expressing the oriental thought and concept via amalgamative images out of the strict historical investigation. Such interest on orient world is distinctively on the same track of Japanese imperialism expansion to Asia, but beyond the specific era investigation, expressing the conceptual themes by creating the dresses and space transcending the time and space was a shape of new modern mural painting started from the Koso-ga of Seiki Kuroda.
