ABSTRACT

Park Mun-Won is the significant Art Critics in the late 1940's. In that time, He has wrote many art critics on the contemporary art and translated the text of Russian Art critics from the standpoint of Social Realism. After the Korean War(1950～1953), He has worked in various fields of art in the North Korea before he dead in 1973. Park Mun Won is the representative arguer of Social Realism in 1940's～1960's of Korean Art world. Especially his text had a decisive effect on the formation of North Korean Art. As a Art Critics, Art Historian and Editors of Art Journal, Park's main concern was the actualizing the art reflecting objective reality as well as suggesting bright future of Socialist state. In this view, He opposed the Impressionism/naturalism as a mechanical representation of reality and affirmed the involvement of artist's mind in the representation of social reality following Lenin, Engels and Gorky. And after late 1950's He has emphasized the poetic ethos of artist rejecting the schematization of Social realism. So he began to wrote the text espousing the traditional poetic soul, national style and myths of Korea. But as a result his text missed the tension of Object/Subject or Theory/Practice. In short, Park's Life and text are the meaningful model for the researcher of Korean modern art and Sociology of Art.
