본 연구는 융의 분석심리 관점에서 김환기 예술작품에 나타난 한국인 미적 원형과 치유적 의미를 연구하는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구의 범위는 융의 관점에서 예술이 가지는 속성을 알아보고 김환기의 대표 작품을 통해 집단무의식의 원형이 어떻게 표현되는지와 그의 작품이 주목을 받는 이유에 대해 살펴보고 김환기작품이 주는 치유적 의미를 분석하였다. 김환기작품을 통해 나타난 한국인의 미적 원형으로 세 가지를 제시하였다. 첫째, 거친 질감(texture)에서 나타나는 정서적 교류와 관계를 중시하는 정(情)의 문화. 둘째, 무기교와 자연스러움에 대한 가치의 존중. 셋째, 가치지향성이다. 이 세 가지 특징을 바탕으로 김환기 작품을 통해 경험할 수 있는 미술감상의 치유적 의미를 논의하였다. 미적 체험은 개인의 주관적 아름다움에 대한 인식 뿐 만 아니라 집단의 정서적 원형을 공유하는 것이다. 그리고 예술작품에 나타난 원형적 상징을 경험하는 것은 인간정신의 보편성, 집단의 공동가치를 공유하며 치유적 힘을 갖게 된다. 그러므로 한국적인 정서를 표현한 김환기의 미술을 이해하는 것은 한국인에게 내재한 원형적 심상을 찾을 수 있고 예술치료에 적용할 수 있다는 면에서 중요한 가치를 지닌다.

이 논문은 오늘날 ‘단색화’로 명명되는 한국 추상화의 한 경향에 대한 세 개의 반성적 질문을 던 지고, 그에 대한 답을 모색하고자 한다. 첫째 질문은 단색화를 진정 독자적인 유파로서, 긴밀한 이념과 그 실천의 집약체로서 형성된 한국적 미술운동 또는 유파로 볼 수 있는가이다. 둘째 질문은 오늘날까지 관례적 정설로 자리 잡아 온 견해로서 ‘단색화는 진정 한국성 또는 한 국적 미의 반영인가’이다. 셋째 질문은 단색화의 거의 공식화된 영문표기인 ‘Dansaekhwa’와 그것을 정당화하는 담론 은 타당한가이다.

이 논문은 인성교육에 관한 문제점을 미학적 차원에서 성찰하고 이상적인 목 표를 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 먼저 고대 서양철학자들, 즉 소크라테스, 플 라톤의 예술철학을 소개하고, 이를 계승한 일련의 서양철학자들, 즉 화이트헤 드, 야스퍼스, 로너간 등에서 제시된 인성교육과 미학의 연계성을 탐구한다. 그 리고 이어서 칸트의 숭고미학과 쉴러의 예술철학을 통해 인성교육에 끼치는 예 술의 역할을 제시한다. 더 나아가서 예술이 종교적 기능, 즉 치유와 자유와 구 원의 기능을 대체할 수 있는지에 관해서 질문한다. 이를 위해서 동양철학/종교 를 소개, 대비하면서 주체와 타자와의 합일에 관한 깨달음이 구원에 이르는 길 을 제시한다는 것을 말한다. 도덕과 예술과 영성의 불가분의 연계성의 맥락 속 에서 진리와 선의 본질에 관한 ‘미적 직관’이 인간의 존엄성을 확인하고 자유로 운 존재로서의 인간의 가치와 의미를 창조하고 실현하는 인성교육의 근본임을 말한다.

This paper analyzes six different ways of articulating the relationship between art and politics. It calls attention to the differences that lurk behind the seemingly simple phrase—everywhere in vogue today—the “politics of aesthetics.” Five of these models are drawn from contemporary discussions regarding the politics of art. The last model is the attempt to develop an account of the politics of aesthetics that is faithful to the diffcult and ambiguous dimensions of the aesthetic experience that were hinted at by the texts of classical philosophical aesthetics. Most notably, this paper is concerned with the idea that the aesthetic experience can be understood as a form of disinterested contemplation—one that is not reducible to cognitive or moral considerations—and with some of the consequences that this entails. It explores some of the political signifcance that can be attributed to this idea of disinterested contemplation, arguing that the aesthetic should be understood as a withdrawal from the world’s pre-established meanings. Unlike some of the other thinkers discussed in this paper, this author doubts that a single, uniform meaning can be ascribed to the aesthetic experience. I thus argue that we need to approach the aesthetic through the networks of textual signifcance that have been built up around it. Throughout this paper, I attempt to explain how the efforts to link art and aesthetics to politics simultaneously give rise to ideas about the nature of the human community. In looking at the sixth and fnal model, what I have called the “anarchical politics of aesthetic ambiguity,” I argue that the aesthetic tradition offers a rather unique way of understanding the relationship between the individual and the community. Here, we see that the aesthetic is prone to a number of paradoxes, central among them the one that makes art the bearer of a solipsistic pleasure in which we nevertheless discover our capacity for genuinely communicating with others, outside of clichés and banalities.

This is the study of American Aesthetic Movement and the Louis Comfort Tiffany's Decorative art. At first, I supposed that Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) was the most successful American Aesthete. He insisted that he pursuit of ‘quest of beauty’ entire his art life at the speech in 1919 retrospective exhibition. The ‘quest of beauty’ is one of creeds of Aestheticism became known through the famous English aesthete Oscar Wilde lectured at the American tour lecture in 1882-1883. Interestingly Wilde also addressed English Arts & Crafts Movement and the ideas of John Ruskin at the lectures. So American public and artists could be accepted both English decorative art movements synthetically. That resulted many of artists turned their focus on decorative art media or decorative art production, as like interior design, stained glass, art pottery, etc. To American artist, interior decoration was another medium for artistic experiment or art-making to realize ideal beauty in everyday life. To beautify everyday life and environment with artistic utilitarian goods was the goal of William Morris(1834-96)' who the leader of Arts & Crafts Movement, so as to Louis Tiffany. Then, Louis Tiffany tried to show his individuality by the eclectic synthesis of the Oriental-Western styles. He synthesized Western & Oriental arts of disparate region or ages uniquely. Finally, his eclectic design method would be applied for creating interiors to artistic unity. Because of Louis Tiffany was a Colorist painter and American Aesthetic Movement artist also, he searched for beauty and wished to express the beautiful ‘color and light’ effect through his art. To accomplish this artistic goal, he used oil and watercolor paints, from opaque to transparent and also translucent at the same time. At last, he developed the ‘Favrile glass’ to describe the colored light, coloring, shades and gradations more than paintings do. Furthermore, he used a variety of decorative media like glass, enamel, jewel and textile for the natural/artistic reproduction of color and light effect in nature. What was the reason for Louis Tiffany's pursuit of naturalism in his product design? The reason was that he sympathized with the John Ruskin's design concept with ‘garden room’ interior design. He tried to depict natural landscape or garden flowers and vegetables on the stained glass windows, glass vases, lamp shades, enamel work, jewelry to construct Aesthetic-practical garden room. That was also the way to be accomplished the authentic goal of Morris' Arts & Crafts Movement.So he incorporated various art companies and then developed art industry complex. He was also an entrepreneur who produced variety of household products industrially. The reason is that he hoped to realize the ideal of William Morris. Who advocated to beautify the interior and daily life for the public. But real consumers of the Morris products were only the wealthiest high class in England and also in America. However, Louis Tiffany's decorative art work differentiated from the Morris'. Because he wanted to answer the demand for consumer democracy. Therefore, he pursued artistic & economic goals simultaneously through his art enterprises as he accepted Aestheticism and Arts & Crafts Movement together. To realize this double goal, he produced kinds of decorative arts and household goods as the colorist artist- aesthete entrepreneur.

In the late decade of 1930, under the Japanese Imperialism, the Korean abstract art which was formed with affection by Japan and Europe. They say the early Korean abstract art is colonized, from a point that it derives from exterior impact. And they say also it is colonized not to be related to the representation of their own life world. On the other hand, the early Korean abstract art in 1930s is told as the prehistory of ‘Korean Modernism in Art’, which flourished in 1970s followed ‘Informal Art Movement’ in the late 1950s. Because the status of abstract art in 1930s was not more than a germ of ‘Korean Modernism in Art’, while they understand until 1950s as a period dominated by representational art based on Chosun Exhibition or Korean National Exhibition, the period until 1970s as a period ruled by abstract art which was accepted as ‘Korean Modernism in Art’, and the period after 1980s as a period by Min-jung Art and Post-Modernism Art. However, the historical value of Korean Abstract Art in 1930s cannot be passed over, if not trying to understand the development of ‘Korean Modernism in Art’ especially focusing on not their own history but the impact of Western and Japanese art. In the late colonial period, the Korean early abstract art was the strongest utterance of the time paradoxically, even if not related much to optical representation of the Korean subjectivity. Therefore the existing viewpoints about the early Korean abstract art should be changed.
