| dbo:abstract | Kim Ki-chang (김기창, 金基昶, 18th February 1913- 23rd January 2001), pen name Unbo (운보, 雲甫), was a Korean artist of the twentieth century. Active from the colonial period, Kim Ki-chang learned painting and calligraphy from artist Kim Eun-ho (김은호, 金殷鎬, 1892-1979) and consecutively won prizes in the category of Eastern Painting (Dongyanghwa, 동양화, 東洋畫) in the prestigious annual Chosun Arts Exhibition (조선미술전람회, 朝鮮美術展覽會) hosted by the Japanese Government-General from 1931 to 1940. He was famous for his traditional coloured paintings (chaesaekhwa, 채색화, 彩色畫) influenced by Japanese ink and colour painting styles, and his figure paintings were known for their delicate renderings. After liberation and his marriage to artist Park Rehyun (박래현, 朴崍賢,1920–1976) in 1946, Kim Ki-chang began to produce lighter, semi-abstract coloured ink paintings (sumuk damchaehwa, 수묵담채화, 水墨淡彩畫). He began teaching at Hongik University from 1955, became professor at Sudo Women Teachers' College (Sejong University) in 1962, and also participated in the 1967 São Paulo Art Biennial. The series of 'Babo sansu' (바보산수, Silly Landscape) and 'Cheongrok sansu' (청록산수, Blue and Green Landscape) of the 1970s to the 90s are credited as Kim Ki-chang's most distinctive and popular works, expressive of freedom and naivete. In the 1970s, he also produced several standard portraits (pyojun yeongjeong, 표준영정, 標準影幀) of historical figures such as King Sejong the Great (세종대왕, 世宗大王, 1397~1450, r. 1418~1450), Kim Jeong-ho (김정호, 金正浩, 1804-1866), and Eulji Mundeok (을지문덕, 乙支文德, ca. late sixth-early seventh century). During the colonial period, Kim Ki-chang produced a number of paintings that praised and supported Japanese imperialism, militarism, and the forced mobilisation of the Korean people for the Asia-Pacific War, and was later named in the Collaborator Dictionary (친일인명사전, 親日人名辭典) in 2009. Despite controversies over his colloborative activities, he continued to actively produce works as a renowned artist until his death in 2001. (en) |
