吳昌碩과 黃士陵의 印風 比較 硏究

Abstract

Oh Chang-seok and Hwang Sa-reung were contemporaries, completing a similar learning process, but they had formed quite different stone calligraphic styles. The purpose of this study is to comparatively review both stone calligraphers' styles as well as their backgrounds - 'different fruits from the same root' and 'ascend the summit through different routes' - and thereby, explore the ways to modernize the tradition. Oh Chang-seok used the so-called 'stone energy' of the 'stone calligraphy condensed over time as a motif of his artistic inspiration to shape a dignified and antique stone calligraphy on his engraving works. In contrast, Hwang Sa-reung sought for the prototype of the bronze works which had endured a long weathering to generate an antique and glorious atmosphere, and thereby, formed a glorious and pure calligraphy with diversified shapes to express the beauty of stone calligraphy featuring an excellent personality. Such comparison may be a result from interpreting their ideals of stone calligraphy and their stone calligraphic energy or beauty differently. Anyway, the results of this study suggest a model whereby we need to adopt our tradition or historic heritage appropriately and thereby, sublime it into a mode of our time befitting the spirit of the time.
