한눈에살펴보는한국근현대회화사
광복부터1980년대까지한국화단의주요이슈.미술가.작품
『KoreanPainting:FromModerntoContemporary,1945-1980s』은광복이후1980년대까지한국근현대회화의흐름을보여주는영문도서이다.한국현대예술시리즈중앞서출간된미술도서는디아스포라,여성미술가,추상이라는특정주제를다룬데비해,이도서는한국근현대회화를전반적으로소개한다.광복이후진행된구상과비구상의양대계보,70년대실험미술,80년대민중미술등을전반적으로서술하며각시기별로화단에대두되었던주요이슈들과해외동향의유입및한국미술가들의해외진출등을일목요연하게확인할수있다.
20세기초부터우리나라는일제식민지,광복,미군정과소군정의분할통치,한국전쟁,분단등정치사회적으로혼란과변화를맞는다.본도서는일제강점기때부터논의를시작하는데당시상황이우리현대미술사에미친영향이크기때문이다.2장은1945년광복이후정치적이념에따라뭉치고흩어진미술단체들,“신사실파”의전위적성향,그리고1950년대한국전쟁기미술가들의활동을소개한다.3장은현대미술교육기관의발전을보여주고대한민국미술전람회의창설과굳어진관행에대해비판한다.4장은1960년대본격화된한국미술가들의해외진출과당시유행했던앵포르멜미술,그리고특정유파나사조에속하지않았던작가를소개한다.5장에서는1970년대등장한개념미술과행위미술,그리고단색화를살펴본다.6장에서는1980년대태동한민중미술과현대미술의추상적사조에반발해도약한구상미술에대해다룬다.마지막장에서는모더니즘개념에대한질문과시대구분및역사인식을제고할필요성을제시한다.
이도서는한국의시대적흐름과함께한국근현대미술의중심에있던작가를큰그림을그리며파악할수있으며,그들의주옥같은회화작품을다량소개한다.국내화가의우수성을세계에알리는좋은기회가될것이고현대한국미술사에대해균형잡힌개요가필요한독자에게적합한책이될것이다.
