시각 이미지로서 자연풍경 - 풍경(화)의 탄생에서 초창기 풍경 사진까지 = Landscape as a Visual image - from the birth of Landscape to early landscape photography

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Landscape is not merely a fragment of pure nature but rather a “culturalized nature” imbued with meaning through media. Human sensibility and aesthetic experience of landscape are continually reshaped within the visual discourse of each era. This study traces the historical origins of the concept of landscape and its establishment as “landscape painting” in art, while analyzing how the development of mechanical imagery—particularly the invention of the train and photography in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—reconfigured human visual systems and perceptions of natural scenery. Through the cases of Le Gray and Stieglitz, it demonstrates that landscape photography is dialectically situated between painterly elements and photographic indexicality. In particular, Stieglitz’s Equivalents series exemplifies a new “photographique” that breaks away from traditional landscape painting by combining the photographic indexicality with symbolist interpretation. In this sense, natural landscapes produced through mechanical images cannot be reduced to mere objects of critique. Rather, they expand our thought toward new visions of nature that were previously inaccessible to conventional modes of seeing.
