이중섭 작품의 유희적 표현과 바다 미학 -제주, 부산, 통영 시절을 중심으로- = Amusing Expressions and Sea Esthetics In Artist Joong-sub Lee’s Works

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present research aimed at re-examinating some of Artist Joong-sub Lee’s works, which were created during his days of refuge in the sea areas such as Busan, Jeju Island, Tongyong, etc. during Korean War with the sea-esthetic perspectives. In his works, there are amusing expressions, which display his amusing vision by amusement impulse, deliver his sentiments by the pathos of amusing sentiments, and form the sympathy from those who appreciate his works by transferring his amusement and imagination to them. Especially, those works which he created in the sea cities such as Busan, Seokwipo, and Tongyong present the amusing sublimity and sense of unity which makes one feel infinite love of family.
It is thought that the reason why Artist Lee had esthetic thinking near the sea is because he formed the bond of sympathy in order to impart an intuitive meaning as he professed the special philosophical theories of Kant, Hegel, and Aristotle. In short, the materials frequently shown in Artist Lee’s paintings such as fish, crabs, crawfish, etc. are not merely expressing ocean living things, but depicting infinite sublimity through family, sanctity of life, and morality. Although the esthetic meaning of his works were examined in contrast with the artist’s physical environment in the present research, it is revealed that there are absolutely some limitations that this could be illuminated as a subjective viewpoint, because this kind of research with sea esthetics with Artist Joong-sub Lee’s works has never been conducted.
