The first chapter 1 of this study is to propose proving generally eight semantic meanings within the limits of the possible by verifying discussion on modernity in Korean paintings all things considered.
Chapter 2 is to examine three circumstances and pictorial idea of Korean painting circles in modern ages, by analysing the first stage(the middle and later period of the 19th century), the middle stage(1910s), and the later stage(1920s) as a developed process.
Chapter 3 is to inquire into modernity of Korean paintings by each stage corresponded with the developed process of Korean painting circles in modern ages.
Artists' works at the rapidly changing period of society contrary to the calm times show a strong and a regular tendency.
Because they are affected by the phases of the times. And the painting circles are formed by such painters' direct or indirect interchange.
So there is need to decide on which connective definition is right among succession or continuity, demarcation, and compromise or coordination.
If the above subject is a measure of the realities of Korean paintings, we should discuss it. If we consider modernity of Korean art and culture, it is because such a matter is directly connected with post-modernity, namely, our mutual agreement on modernity is just common consent on contemporarity.
