이중섭 회화의 아이들 유형 분석 = 예술현상의 심리학적 접근

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper studies the art world of Lee Jungseob by applying Analytical Psychology of Jung in his artworks. The children depicted in Daehyang Lee Jungseob’s works are characterized as an object of life painted mostly based on his memories rather than from the observations of actual models. An artist sees the outside world thorough his mental structure and therefore accordingly, his views will change when said mental structure changes. The images depicted by an artist thus comprise an important element for understanding his work. Therefore, the relationship between the topics and objects as depicted in Lee’s art focused on Lee’s psychological changes as caused by the historical time period that he lived in, the external shocks that he personally experienced, and his traumas, such as his own son’s death, separation from his family, and the failure of his art exhibit, all of which became the basis of his art world.
Because an artist completes his work by conveying his inner world within the work, his work helps the artist to understand himself easily by making the artist focus on the ambiguous emotions embedded within him. However, a question is raised, namely which psychological approach is needed to reach that certain understanding. The nature, characters, and experiences of an artist are related to the way the artist expresses himself in his work, and the experiences are saved in the artist’s memory either internally or externally. As psychiatrist and psychologist Jung (Carl Gustav Jung, 1875-1961) said about images, "everything we do not know about or we always seem to have forgotten but being aware of is an image and an image is a mind." In other words, experiences are saved as images in the mind.
Furthermore, Jung divided the creative work of art or literature into "Psychological type of creative work (Psychologische Art des Schaffens)" and "Visionary type of creative work(Visonare Art des Schaffesn)". The former ‘psychological type of creative work’ refers to a method of expressing the most intense life experience in the artworks, with the purpose of expanding the possibility of the experience in an individual’s daily event or fact and delivering it to others in the most impressive way. At this time, the primary matter(Urstoff) is eventually the daily event of fact that is embraced by the writer or poet. However, the latter "visionary type of creative work" originates from the most unfamiliar and the strangest original experience(Urerlebnis) that a human spirit can have. It is a process of identifying the spiritual characteristics of an artist in creating his artworks.
In the context of psychological meanings of the materials in the paintings, the peach is used to express the yearning for a wish in a visionary way, while the motif of the string is a psychological type of creative work and is a symbolic expression of self that is entwined in a complex relationship of parents and children. The blue crap is a psychological reflection of unstable state of reality. As such, the types of children in Lee Jungseob’s paintings may be referred to as the creative types of his psychological and visionary reflection that expresses his mental world.
