한국 현대시로 전이된 에드바르트 뭉크의 그림세계 : 이승하 시 『畵家 뭉크와 함께』와 한영옥 시 『뭉크로부터 2』를 중심으로 Seungha Yi`s"With the Painter Munch" and Young Ok Han`s "From Munch 2" = Edvard Munch`s Paintings Transferred into Contemporary Korean Poetry

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Edvard Munch(1863-1944) is one of the most important Norwegian painters in the history of world paintings. As a leading painter of his day, Munch was interested in all of the genre including landscape and portrait. He studied in Christiania (now Oslo) and in Paris under Bonat and traveled in Germany and Italy. Though he spent much of his life in abroad, from 1909 he returned to his country and stayed there until his death. Under the influence of neo-impressionism and expressionism, Much's work is highly original, daring in color and design, and full of psychological implications. Among others, Munch's "The Scream" (1893) and "Melancholy" (1891-92) reflect most effectively those characteristics of his paintings.
In our study, we have compared "The Scream" with Seungha Yi's poem entitled "With the Painter Munch" and "Melancholy" with Young Ok Han's poem titled "From Munch 2." In Yi's poem, 'stammering voice' is used to emphasize the front female figure's face-in Munch's "The Scream"-shocked by the feeling of isolation from the world; such a feeling can be found in the daring color and design of the painting itself. In Han's poem, 'psychological analysis' is used to explain the front male figure's face-in Munch's "Melancholy"-which shows us his despairing mood aroused from his lover's sudden separation; such a feeling can be read from the seascape calm and silent.
Through their poetic attitudes toward Munch's works, Yi and Han significantly have transformed them into 'tragic vision of modern man, 'not only in individual life but also in ideological world.
