ABSTRACT

Iljung Kim, Chung Hyun is a master who opened a new prospect in the field of the 20th century’s modern and contemporary calligraphy. Along with the reputation as a calligrapher with an established name for Korean and Chinese calligraphies, he wrote numerous textbooks that are guides to learn calligraphy, contributing in a significant way to the development of Korean calligraphy. The textbook introduced in this thesis, “Geun-Yeok-Seo-Bo” is a piece of writing published in a series Shina Daily Newsin 1967 with a huge number of readers and made a great contribution to the development of Korean calligraphy. Nevertheless, in recent years, it is even difficult to find anyone who is familiar with this document. Through research, the Author learned that the most critical supporting document to understand “Geun-Yeok-Seo-Bo” is “Geun-Yeok-Seo-Hwa-Jing,” written by Oh, Sye Chang. However, as a result of comparing those two documents, the Author discovered that “Geun-Yeok-Seo-Bo” by Iljung does not follow all of the details in “Geun-Yeok-Seo-Hwa-Jing” by Oh, Sye Chang, in terms of selection of authors and citations, despite the fact that it is based on “Geun-Yeok-Seo-Hwa-Jing”. This thesis finds out that 34 among 150 characters introduced in “Geun-Yeok-Seo-Bo” do not appear in “Geun-Yeok-Seo-Hwa-Jing” and that particularly most of them are belong to “Jeol-Ui (Fidelity)” through analyzing the propensity of those characters. The Author reveals that his tendency to select such characters is closely related to his childhood. Written based on extensive literature materials and Iljung’s independent view of history, “Geun-Yeok-Seo-Bo” is expected to be a valuable document to fill the gap of the incomplete Korean calligraphy history and to understand Mun-In-Seo-Ye (Writer’s calligraphy).
