ABSTRACT

Kwon Heon(權攇) naturally developed artistic judgment of painting through association with them who garnered paintings and calligraphic works in Seoul during the latter part of the Chosun period and appreciated them. He attached importance to Junshin(傳神; conveying the true spirit of the subject portrayed) to express the inside detail by detail rather than Hyungsa(形似; similarity) to attache importance to outside. The reason why he layed emphasis on Junshin(傳神) is that the painters have to convey an individual characteristic to be different from those of the others. He did not ignore all of them in technique for the outside only because he layed emphasis on Junshin(傳神), but he said that they could not discuss Junshin(傳神) without consideration for the outside and he proposed that it precedently have to require the harmony dialectical and unificative of Hyung(形; Shape) and Shin(神; spirit). Also, he referred to the aspect of moral culture and the mental attitude of the person to observe the object on condition of Junshin(傳神). That is, it has to be performed so as not to be difference from them by grasping the intrinsic mind of an object, therefore it has to meet conditions to be pure and clear. He, Kwon Heon gave emphasis to gain Chi(趣; interest) in the process of Junshin(傳神). As a result of investigating the examples of Chi(趣) which he made use of is as follows, Chi(趣) in its scenic beauty[山水美], Chi from getting rid of stress through thought of the Jangja(莊子). Chi to feel in a state of perfect selflessness in Mulahsangmang(物我相忘) and so on. We could understand that it had a category of various meaning. The Chi which has an important meaning in a theory of paintings has a property of its enhancement as well as an emotional response of Heung(興; excitement), Rhak(樂; pleasure), and Kwae(快; enjoyment). Namely, the Shin(神) is an essential part of things to express through paintings, while the Chi(趣) is that an appreciator has a psychological pleasant feeling and esthetical sound. Although the relation to paintings and literature is different from each genre, yet it plays a same role in the point that it is of figuration for content of theme through writing and color, and also he have a clear understanding of their difference. That is, it seems to be acknowledged as the role of a poetry under such understandings that the poetry to be different from paintings has a factor of detailed description, mood, atmosphere, suggestiveness, symbolization and narration and so on, in expression as well as figuration for a same theme.
