미켈란젤로의‘다비드’와‘리비아 무녀’에 나타난 발레美의 도상기호학적 해석과 적용

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the aesthetic expression forms through icon semiotics focusing on David and Sibilla Libica by Michelangelo as a representa tive artist of the Western art in the 16th century, and then to interpret move ments and poses by applying it to ballet. Even though it was actually difficult to interpret the whole movements and poses of ballet through icon semiotics, this study aimed to suggest the possibility of interpretation in some parts. The aesthetic expression forms of ballet are inevitable to have diverse changes in accordance with situation and history. Nevertheless, this study found out that there would be the characteristic and repetitive aesthetic expression forms of ballet which would be expressed into certain patterns. It is impossible to fully explain such symbolic and diverse aesthetic ex pression forms of ballet art with simple signs. However, it is possible to symbolize and iconize the basic and essential aesthetic expression forms of ballet as an art. This new attempt would help more people to under stand the aesthetic expression of ballet art and also to enjoy it more by narrowing down the gap between ballet art and audience. And if the re sults of this study are applied to the ballet education, there could be huge changes in the ballet education methodology.
