繪畵에 있어서의 形態와 內的 必然性 問題 硏究 : on the basis of Kandinsky's theory of abstract painting Kandinsky의 抽象理論을 中心으로 = A Study of the Forms of Paintings and Inner Necessity

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

When the two main currents of abstract paintings are traced to the origin, we find Kandinsky and Mondrian. Both of them are righteously called fore-fathers of abstract paintings. It is, however, Kandinsky who made a greater contribution to the evolution of the theories of abstract paintings.
First of all, he discovered through actual experiences of his own the fundamental reason why the recognizable objects in the natural world should be rejected. Discarding natural objects, he expressed on the canvas the spiritual voices from the inner world. Kandinsky described such an expression of the inner world as being expressed by inner necessity. Thus the boundless spiritual world was justified in coming into the world of art and taking over the place of natural objects. At the same time, self-liberation was achieved by discovering the new world of spirit and abandoning the objective matters existing in restricted conditions.
Next he attempted a new definition about the concept of the canvas. He defined that the canvas is not a space in which natural objects are represented, but that the canvas itself is a limitless space which should be created by painters, His conception that the space of canvas is not placed under restriction by its nature of limitation rendered another liberation. In this way, the liberation of self was accompanied by limitless space.
His third discovery is the free use of various materials. The fact that he began to use sand besides traditional colours indcates that it is possible to use every material in the cosmos.
These three concepts compose the basic elements of abstract painting. No matter what new attempts were made in modern paintings, all of them were derived from these theories. Therefore, all the theories of abstract painting that draw greatest attention in modern art are grounded on Kandinsky's theory of abstract painting.
In this study, an attempt was made to define not only the nature of abstract painting but also that of realistic painting on the basis of Kandinskys theory.
