ABSTRACT

This study aims to investigate the aspects of the changes of Na Hyesuk's paintings in terms of their style and meaning. I attempt to trace the significance of her colored works produced during the 1930s by focusing on the change of her understanding and adopting of Post-Impressionism via an investigation of her writings. Na wrote about her experiences of European art and culture to expand her comprehension, and published art critical essays. Na’s stay in Europe allowed her to gain direct information and knowledge of Western art in contrast to the refracted view that she learned during her school years in Japan. She previously seemed to have confused Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, but became able to discriminate clearly between them after her trip in Europe. She observed of Post-Impressionists that they would “not forget the essence of art” but “creatively individualize the artistic spirit.” We can observe that Na seems to have become able to project her intuitive interior world into her works as seen in her “Nokdong Landscape,” “Wharyeongkeon Peony,” and “Haein Temple Landscape,” in which she sought to integrate art with her life; by combining Impressionist colors and Fauvist expressions with a Post-Impressionist view of art in composition.
